The deposed president, Manuel Zelaya, said the “brutal” coup, including what he called a threat by soldiers to shoot him dead if he did not stop talking on his cell phone, was a blow against democracy.

Please. They weren't even so BRUTAL as to take the phone away from him?

Zalaya loves Obama and the feeling appears mutual.

Check out the pic of Zelaya holding up a poster of Obama and smiling here(it is too big to post):

I think you are right on target. To me, and I think the ones who have read or heard (main stream media in the US is not doing a very good job of informing about the Honduran side-—Michael Jackson coverage interfering too)about the plight of the Hondurans and their lawfully appointed President Micheletti. I cannot believe that our government is standing up for Zelaya..which only proves that they 1. Are grossly ignorant of the facts 2. As you said, in total disrespect for the Honduran Constitution or 3. See a political and monetary gain by reinstating Zelaya

I have read that Honduras is vastly wealthy in natural resources. My take is that they plan to keep Honduran true democracy under their thumb, rip off their resources, and possibly even use Honduras as a base of operations when the invading Communist army comes up from the south into the U.S.-—just something to think about. You know how tight the USSR is with Latin America. Also, the Chinese have a big stake in the Panama Canal. The Chinese have been making the canal wider so they can get those big ships through into the port of Houston.

No, as far as I know, Obama has not given any evidence or reasoning for his actions. But when our president sides with Chavez, Castro, and the UN....we all know what is coming our way.

Figures the organization founded by Communists would support a dictator.

Looks like the military and the people of Honduras are more aggressive than Americans when it comes to their President breaking their Constitutional law. Now who would have ever thought the Hondurans were more committed to the rule of law than are Americans? From where I sit, the people of Honduras are more committed to their rule of law than Americans.

The Hondurans have made a loud, clear, and decisive statement to the world. They will not tolerate a communist as President. So what did they do? They kicked his communist ass out of the country.

Kudos for the Hondurans. Pray for America as we pray for you. We find ourselves at a similar intersection. The light is flashing red continuously. So, liike the Hondurans, sooner or later, one of us will have to risk running it. Once one brave soul takes the risk, the rest, who still believe in the rule of law, are sure to follow.

Of course the communists in our midst will never follow. And they will be a great nuisance. But I remain confident, that inspite of electing a communist for President, most citizens in America are free market capitalists who support a Constitutional Republic. What the flashpoint will be to cause them to awaken remains illusive for now. But I figure, it’s coming sooner rather than later.

But we disagree.

I suggest capturing Zelaya, extraditing him home to the Honduras so he can be waterboarded by the Honduran military brass.

I thought dictators were only interested in preserving their own interests.

May the Hondurans drill any blue helmets sent their way, no matter from which member state.

The UN is getting to be like the ACLU, where I don’t even really need to know what they’re doing...I sort of know they’re doing the opposite of what I believe.

Yes, we disagree. You say waterboarding in Honduras. I say speedy trial and then Zelaya is shot for attempting to overthrow the nation’s Constitution.

What he did was treason. Plain and simple.

although current updates are very important to all of us, let us not forget and continue to postthe history of this event.
That the man was doing something that their supreme court said was wrong.
That their supreme court ordered his arrest and removal.

The MSM has a tendency to forget facts and cherry pick to suit Obama’s radical goals.
