LATIN AMERICA'S NEW LEFTISTS (GG gets it right)

For decades, even centuries, the bane of Latin American democracy has been the military takeover. Democrats from Guatemala to Peru and from Argentina to Chile have fought valiantly to keep political power from falling into the uncompromising hands of the generals. And now, after an amazing number of years without military coups, we wake up and find one topping the news, in little Honduras in Central America. It happened in the night, of course. The elected president, a wealthy rancher named Manuel Zelaya, was ousted from his home Sunday in his pajamas and unostentatiously flown to neighboring Costa Rica.

Of course, President Obama called the coup "not legal" and talked of a "dark past." His was the new voice of a new United States, which no longer supports Latin coups on behalf of its own economic interests. But wait just a minute! Did we get that right? For almost immediately it became obvious that something entirely new may well have happened in poor little Honduras.

I used to consider her Geyer) to be very insightful. But, the recent years have made her tedious. It looks like maybe she is getting her Mojo back.

"Since being democratically elected in 1998, Chavez has rewritten the Venezuelan constitution to grant him power to rule by decree for one year and to control the judiciary. Since then, he has effectively moved to control the Supreme Court, the electoral tribunal, the state oil company and independent TV stations. This is the new blueprint for leftism in Latin America."

Sounds a lot like Obortion's blueprint for "re-making America".

"Islamism" -- in Latin America? None at the meeting indicated that they found it odd any more. Iran, for instance, now has direct flights to Caracas, Venezuela, and radical Islam is finding common ground with the Latin left in one hatred they have in common: America. "

Leftists and Islamists have something else very significant in common: They serve the same god: Satan.

I have never heard of Georgie Anne Geyer before but the situation in Honduras is shaking out the real journalists from the lefty propagandists. It is also exposing the real agenda of numerous organizations and politicians around the world. Something most of us on FR already knew.
