TEGUCIGALPA, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Honduran police cracked down on supporters of ousted President Manuel Zelaya on Wednesday as the country's de facto leader came under pressure to lift curbs on civil liberties and end a post-coup crisis.

"De facto" government, my arse...

Now some of the governments are saying they may drop the precondition that Zelaya return to power...

This could be a HUGE, MAJOR Constitutional victory for those standing up for national sovereignty and the rule of law.

Just pinging you guys. Hope you’re doing alright there HonCitizen! We’re praying and fighting for you all here.

Until such time as Obama produces proof of “Natural Born” status, he is essentially a “de-facto leader.”

Why can’t Reuters get it right?

Wow, 57 protesters. Almost enough for an NFL roster. Love the way these articles are written. Knowing most people don’t read more than the first couple of paragraphs, they will say he was deposed in a military coup, then at the bottom come a little closer to the truth in saying he was arrested by order of the Supreme Court.

This sets a good world president. If Oboma tries to stay after his defeat in the 2012 election, we may need to follow their lead. Oboma is publicly supporting the man the people voted out!

Creepy thought, isn't it?

I like how you put that. They get a ‘little’ closer to the truth.

It’s amazing to me how corrupt the FMSM actually is.

Oboma is publicly supporting the man the people voted out! ++++++++++ Well, Zelaya was elected president of Honduras, but violated the Honduran Constitution and was removed from power by the Honduran Supreme Court in a 15-0 vote, with the majority there having been appointed by Zelaya's own party (they directed the military to remove him.) There is another election scheduled in November, but some of those countries, like the US that are bullying Honduras over these serious matters, are saying they won't recognize the results of that as long as the country is in crisis. THEN WHAT?? At least now they're saying returning Zelaya to power may not a be a precondition to holding those elections... Well Gee Bammy - thanks for that!

Question: al-Reuters and all the lefties are up in arms because Micheletti shut down the Zelaya-controlled Radio Globo, and censored "free speech." But do you know what Radio Globo was broadcasting when it was shut down? Here is an unedited translation:

"There are times when I ask myself if Hitler was or not correct in finishing with that race with the famous Holocaust. If there are people that do damage in this country, they are Jewish, the Israelis. I want to name, this afternoon here in Radio Globo, by name and last name, who are the two officers of the Jewish army who are working with the Armed Forces of our country and who are in charge of carrying out all these conspiracy activities and undercover actions and everything else that is happening to the President of the Republic.

After what I have learned, I ask myself why, why didn’t we let Hitler carry out his historic mission. Forgive me for the grotesque expression. But I ask myself after I have realized this and many other things. I believe it should have been fair and valid to let Hitler finish his historic vision.

These people are absolutely sick. And on top of all that, Radio Globo was urging people to take to the streets and commit terroristic violence.

In the United States this would be like some Neo-Nazi Aryan Nation compound setting up a radio station and broadcasting a message urging its supporters to riot and burn things, then crying "first amendment!" when the authorities showed up to shut them down.

Read the article. Pretty much made up news by Reuters. There must not be much going on. It’s a standoff that I think the Hondurans are going to win. Just run out the clock and hold the elections on schedule.

Wow, that’s unreal! Thanks for sharing that. More and more context to make our socialist/commies in the WH squirm at their despicable obfuscations re: the free, sovereign nation of Honduras.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

The Honduran police are merciless. They get their hands on you and they beat you to a pulp.

Which I fully support
