The ideological Marxist occupying the Oval Office has sided with fellow communists Hugo Chavez, Raul Castro, and Danny Ortega against the people of Honduras. The corrupt Marxist Honduras president, Manuel Zelaya, was ousted on the order of the country's Supreme Court and democratically elected legislature after attempting to extend his presidential term in violation of the Honduran Constitution.
The same president who went out for ice cream while the Iranian mullahs butchered people in the streets, insisting he didn't want to "interfere" in the internal affairs of another country quickly changed his tune when it came to re-installing a corrupt Marxist/ideological co-hort in Honduras. The White House hascut off aid to Honduras (while seeking to send nearly a billion dollars to the corrupt thugs of Hamas) and denied visas to the interim president of Honduras, Roberto Michellitti, and other members of the legitimate democratic government.
To their credit, the Hondurans are not backing down. “We will not back down. Dignity does not have a price in our country.â€
Ask yourself this question: Why is it "progressives" are always siding with thugs and tyrants against the people? True, the U.S. has had to deal with dictators when necessary to pursue other strategic objectives. The example the left always uses of dictators embraced by the right is Augusto Pinochet of Chile; a man who eventually gave up power to a democratic government, leaving his country freer and more prosperous than he found it. Is the same true of Castro? Of Chavez? Of Mugabe?
moonbatteryNot much about Honduras in the news lately. I wonder why.
