Honduras fiasco coming soon to a government near you

JULY 24 – So, why have the United Nations, Organization of American States (OAS), Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, the Castro brothers and Barack Obama got their collective noses stuck in a legal, constitutional transfer of the presidency in Honduras?
    What our government is doing in joining this group of tyranny-loving individuals and organizations is a sure indication of where Obama wants to bring us.
    Consider that the ejected president of Honduras, Jose Zelaya, a protégé of Hugo Chavez, attempted to eliminate his country’s constitutional one-term rule on the presidency, and when their Congress and Supreme Court rejected his actions, they had the military peacefully remove him and put him on a plane to Costa Rica for exile.
    In violation of the Honduras Constitution, he tried to ram through a referendum without congressional authorization that would allow him to run for unlimited numbers of terms, beginning this fall. The ballots for this unconstitutional coup were printed surreptitiously in co-conspirator Hugo Valdez’s Venezuela and snuck into Honduras.
    Mary O’Grady of The Wall Street Journal described this aspect of the conspiracy as follows. “ A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by the Congress. But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chavez ship him the ballots from Venezuela.”
    The country’s Supreme Court had no other course but to order Zelaya arrested and deported to avoid violence. This was certainly no coup, much less a “military coup” as our leftist, liberal media has been slavishly and foolishly reporting.
    It was, however, definitely an attempted coup by Chavez to use Zelaya in expanding tyranny in Latin America.
    It’s been just 10 years since Honduras was hit and devastated by Hurricane Mitch, which killed some 7,000 people, rendered 600,000 homeless and destroyed 70 percent of their crops. For a country the size of Tennessee, with a population of 6.5 million, this was a major blow, but recovery was achieved through U.S.-led aid and some debt forgiveness.
    It was only nine months earlier, in 1999, that their legislature voted to place the military under complete control of the civilian authority. Obviously the military was acting under civilian orders to deport the erstwhile “dictator in the bud”. If that’s a military coup, Webster’s will have to re-define the term completely.
    Commenting on the coup nonsense, Roberto Micheletti, the next legislator in line, who was named by the Congress to serve out Zelaya’s term, which ends this year, stated, “We have established a democratic government and we will not cede to pressure from anyone. We are a sovereign country.”
    Syndicated columnist and TV commentator Pat Buchanan stated, “ Unlike Tehran, where hundreds of thousands protested the election, the streets of Tegucigalpa (the capital) have remained calm. No one has been shot, beaten with clubs or run down by thugs on motorcycles. Just whose side is Barack on in Latin America?” 
    Pat, I don’t think there can be any doubt about which side Obama is on. At the recent OAS meeting, Barack and Hugo were palsy-walsy , and he sat for an hour while killer Daniel Ortega slammed the U.S. on trumped-up nonsense.. Any loyal U.S. citizen, never mind the president, would have walked out of the room while thumbing his nose at Ortega. Can you imagine Reagan or George W. listening to this bird trample on our flag.
    Coincidentally, the OAS gang recently lifted its ban on Cuban member ship, which gives the Castros a seat at the table. I’ve no doubt that there were a few quiet meetings recently, that included Obama, on Zelaya’s planned hijacking of the Honduran presidency, a la Chavez Docrine. 
    So, where was our president when Zelaya led a mob to storm the military base where the Venezuela-printed illegal ballots were being held.
    Try Moscow, Russia in subservient meetings with ex KGB boss Vladimir Putin. I’m sure the U.S. alignment with Zelaya’s coming hijacking of the Honduran presidency was a sizeable part of their talks in the Kremlin.
    Consider that 45.7percent of Honduras’ exports are purchased by us. It came as no surprise yesterday, Monday, July 20,  when Obamatron Secretary of State Hillary Clinton momentarily interrupted her Apology Tour  in India to threaten Honduras with export sale curtailment if they did not reinstate erstwhile dictator Chavez … Oops! Zelaya.
    According to a recent Associated Press release, “U.S. officials have promoted talks in Costa Rica’s capital (San Jose), hoping to ease Zelaya back into the presidency without violence while resolving the concerns of Honduras’ Supreme Court, Congress and military, which say they legally removed the president for violating the constitution.”
    So, how long will it be before the Barack Brigade reverses our Constitution’s Amendment 22 limiting U.S. presidents to two terms, thus lining up with the Chavez-Castro Doctrine.

“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.”
