Me too.
Well lets see. Honduran president making an end run around their constitution. A legislature and court with the balls to play the "separation of power card" (unlike our own) and three leftist who condemn that same separation of power from doing its job. Hmm, It doesn't bode well. BTW love the name "Three if by government"
I think there were probably just two sets of ballots printed — one already filled out for the voters’ convenience and stuffed into precounted ballot boxes. A full-service ‘election’ Chavez-style.
In Honduras the rule of law needs to be respected. In Iran, not so much.
I’ll come down on the side of freedom in any case, and socialism isn’t freedom.
My mom always said, “Show me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.”
Who are your friends President Obama?

“Honduras Displays Rare Courage
Last week, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was deposed by the nation’s military after its supreme court found that he was violating the Honduran constitution. Article 237 of the Honduran constitution limits the president to a single four-year term. This was not acceptable to Zelaya, who, in his best impression of Venezuelan thug-dictator Hugo Chavez, tried to circumvent the constitutional term limitation by scheduling an unconstitutional referendum to stand for a second term. Thus, the intervention of the court and the military.
First and foremost, then, this was not a coup as President Barack Obama, the UN and the Organization of American States (OAS) have stated, but a restoration of constitutional rule of law, something painfully unfamiliar — detestable, even — to the aforementioned Friends of Chavez.
The OAS suspended Honduras until Zelaya is reinstated. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has promised to work on a “deal.” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said, “Our goal remains ... a peaceful solution to this crisis. We’re very focused on the need for a dialogue to restore him back [to office] and restore the democratic order.” Uh, memo to Kelly: The people of Honduras do have democratic order — it’s called defending the constitution when it’s under assault. May they remain steadfast and may that resolve spread to the U.S.”
