>>>”Given a house vote and a supreme court order they would.”

Heh...

Fat chance... Those institutions are occupied by the same people they should be forcefully evicting...

[magooey]

“If only OUR military officers had the friggen NADS to do the same to Zero and his fellow marxist revolutionaries...”

Given a house vote and a supreme court order they would.

One problem is that while our Supreme Court is sitting, no one has standing.

I forgot about Hillary and Watergate — you are so right she was involved and lied to boot to get out Nixon.

Military did the right thing.’

Too bad we can’t do that yet.

[Nachum]

Too bad we can’t do that yet.

I'm not so sure that this man will make it through 4 years. Impeachment is not to far fetched.

Thanks for the ping!

The most wonderful words I have heard since January 20th.

This was the military acting to preserve the nation's constitution.

And acting under the direct authority of the nation's elected representatives, in accord with the decision of the Supreme Court.

It would be a little difficult to get more right with "the rule of law" than that...

If the public knew what really happened in Honduras, Obama would look foolish as hell -- to put the most gracious spin on it. But the public will never know...because the state-run media won't ever tell them.

That is exactly right. Micheletti is of the same party as Zelaya (Liberal Party), but is a Honduran patriot.

Waiting to hear this fact from our propaganda outlets.

A situation Castro, Hillery, Hugo and Obama don't like has to be beneficial.

“Did you notice Resident Obama wants the old President back in power. He claims the coup was not in accordance with their Constitution. “

Yes and how ironic is that it’s the Honduran Supreme Court that put the process in place to stop the executive from hijacking the nation’s laws.

What does this say about Obama besides he thinks he can subvert another nation’s Constitution?

[jerri]

If only OUR military officers had the friggen NADS to do the same to Zero and his fellow marxist revolutionaries...

What are you talking about? Their military followed the orders of the congress they didn't do it for the heck of it.

Dear RegulatorCountry,

“They don’t seem too keen to mention that Micheletti, ‘interim president’ was vice president and first in line to succeed Zelaya under the Honduran constitution.”

Actually, I think that President Micheletti was actually something analogous to the Speaker of the House. I read that the Vice President resigned his office late last year, and now-President Micheletti was next in line.

But your central point remains.
