But you will search the MSM in utter, utter vain for any hint of these demonstrations, attended by several hundred thousand Hondurans, and where a very common placard read: "CNN Why Don't you Show This!" ( I suspect that regarding press coverage, after this week-end many American Tea-Partiers can relate to those Honduran Tea-Partiers,)

Yes, we relate.

Obama and his cronies are even more dangerous than most people in this country are willing to admit. Many of my friends, basically educated people, know so little of what is going on outside of their driving area that it is frightening. Their ignorance will not result in bliss. The communists count on that.

I hope that freedom and liberty will reign supreme in Honduras very soon for the sake of its citizenry and its people. God speed.

It is jaw-droppingly unbelievable that Zero and his minions are taking this position vis a vis Honduras. When has the United States of America ever backed the subversion of a democratic country’s constitution in this fashion?

Honduras’ constitution was ratified in the early 80’s and is patterned upon the US Constitution. They expressly prohibited any person from holding more than one Presidential term or even suggesting that the constitution be changed specifically due to the region’s history of Marxist dictatorships. This predates Chavez but boy were they prescient. I bet the wealthy and middle-class Venezuelans wish they had been so wise.

Excellent article. Free Republic rocks. I needed a summary of Honduras and found it here. Now I can use the article to get to work and to expose the unreasonable policy of the present State Dept.

The Obama administration was then (as now) denouncing the democratic Honduran government's actions to uphold their constitution and thwart creation of a Chavez/Castro client narco-state.

This has to stink the worst of all aspects of Bummer's fiasco in Honduras. It makes him look like he wants a drug-crime supported state. (This is NOT the same as a libertarian, permissive position on drugs. This is like profiteering on smuggled liquor in Prohibition times.)

0bama lies.

Any questions?

Time to impeach Bozo AND Biden! We can impeach Pelosi after she takes office.

It’s the ACORN way. Facilitate drug trafficking, human trafficking, prostitution, pedophilia, tax evasion and so on and so forth. 0wheezo beezo was one of the legal advisers to ACORN who came up with these schemes.

I’ve said this before, a time or three. The 0bama regime’s stance on Honduras, even though it doesn’t affect the US much this way or that, is to me the standout, egregious, most in-your-face example of what the 0bama regime is and what it is not. It’s just incomprehensible. This should be offensive to anyone who isn’t a screaming far-left radical. This should be offensive to suburban soccer moms. This should be offensive to intellectuals of every stripe, except, again, the most radical leftists.

If we have turned over a new leaf in apologizing to Mideast nations for meddling in their affairs and we now resolve to avoid doing so in the future, then what in the bloody hell are we doing suborning Honduras to overthrow its own constitution to illegally prop up a clear leftist and criminal. Even as they exiled him without any of the violence we have perhaps come to expect, right or wrong, from So. America. The US is so absolutely on the wrong side of this issue it’s bizarre.

As Krauthammer says, It’s not what Obama says, it’s what he does. So far, what have Obama, Hillary and the State Department done with Honduras since their Marxist buddy was ousted? It’s a huge Duhh! Watch what they continue to Do!

Zelaya, we finally concluded, planned to boot out the U.S. military (under that airport pretext) and convert this base, essentially, into a way-station for Chavez-FARC drug shipments to the U.S." 14 Venezuelan-registered planes crashed in Honduras during the past 18 months, all carried cocaine, or traces of the substance when located. Since Zelaya's ouster not one such plane has been discovered. (Note: these are just the planes that crashed. Imagine the overall traffic Zelaya was facilitating through Honduras for his sugar-daddy, Hugo Chavez.)

Very interesting. This is information I hadn't seen before. Zelaya wanted to build another international airport, funded by Chaves, and thought our base would be perfect.

It does affect the US, because Chavez is consolidating his power and Honduras is about the only country that has been able to resist (along with Colombia). Chavez is allied with Iran and Russia (that is, with both Islamists and Communists), and the left-wing bloc he is building there is indeed a security threat to us.

Think of this as a Latin American version of Hitler or the Soviets attempting to annex the countries that stood in their way.

The problem is that, in this case, our president is on the side of this modern day Hitler/Stalin.
