He may have been democratically elected, but that does not trump the law. Honduras in a Republic. And it seems that they follow THEIR Constitution, unlike our Representatives. Would you be so forgiving of their leader if, instead of a leftist President seeking to overturn their Constitution, their democratically elected President was more to the right?Cargosquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109858929179841075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30821890.post-88711511441708105842009-08-06T18:28:51.186-04:002009-08-06T18:28:51.186-04:00I wish you were correct Cargosquid but Obama's...I wish you were correct Cargosquid but Obama's government has not seriously taken any action to support Zelaya. Zelaya is the democratically elected leader of Honduras...<br /><br />Obama's admin appears to be all talk and no action backing up his talk. No action that would pressure the military coup leaders to step down and restore the people's leader in Honduras. Heck, the SOA is still training the Honduran military. This is the training that has been used to repress people in South America for decades....Star Womanspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851972708434732223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30821890.post-78821047418017390992009-08-04T19:20:21.607-04:002009-08-04T19:20:21.607-04:00Why is it that you only support "democracy&qu...Why is it that you only support "democracy" when it is being supported by dictators for life? Contrary to what you believe, Obama is not supporting the Honduran government but is courting Zelaya, Chavez, and Castro. That's the problem.<br />Zelaya was arrested on order their Supreme Court and under the authority of their Congress and Constitution. A member of his OWN party replaced him.<br />Here's a counterpoint of your communist link:<br /><br />http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/2009/08/us-supporting-communist-takeover-of.htmlCargosquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109858929179841075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30821890.post-86147881309060291822009-08-04T15:48:45.970-04:002009-08-04T15:48:45.970-04:00Hondura's actions in removing their President ...Hondura's actions in removing their President was within the context of THEIR constitution.

As you should know, I'm not drawing the concept of exporting democracy out of thin air. <br /><br />Instead you prefer to ignore the major points and sidetrack in order to decrease any influence for an opinion other than yours. I have found numerous right wing extremists utilize this tactic.<br /><br />Sorry I won't play your game. I also refuse to support what is supposed to be "our" government's influence in dismantling a democratically elected government of Honduras and replacing it with a dictatorship to further the interests of the rich and the powerful to exploit others.<br /><br />Your second comment merits no reply. It is stupid and insulting and it appears you prefer to act like a bully to other folks.Star Womanspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851972708434732223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30821890.post-62769926089132207842009-08-02T19:20:05.961-04:002009-08-02T19:20:05.961-04:00And third, the "exploitation of the South Ame...And third, the "exploitation of the South American people" by the "capitalist Robber Class" is certainly no more scandalous than President Barry's continuing exploitation of the stupid.James Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983017193858666436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30821890.post-25332990389115764992009-08-02T19:18:53.490-04:002009-08-02T19:18:53.490-04:00First, we're not a "democracy"; we&#...First, we're not a "democracy"; we're a constitutional republic.
