The people of Honduras have struggled too long to have their hard-won democracy stolen from them by a Chavez-style dictator. The Honduran Congress, the Honduran Supreme Court, and the Honduran military have acted in accordance to the Honduran constitution and the rule of law.
For weeks leading to his arrest, Zelaya flouted the constitutional authority of the Honduran Congress and Supreme Court, and claimed for himself extra-constitutional control of his nation’s military and political institutions. Every institution from the Electoral Tribunal to the Supreme Court ruled that his actions were unjustified and illegal. Zelaya’s open defiance of democratic norms has set Honduras on a path toward violence, instability, and tyranny.
I am hopeful that as President Obama grows in office, he will eventually turn away from despots like Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, and Zelaya, and give the United States’ full-throated support to the people of any country who are fighting for the same values we cherish and defend in America. The people fighting for freedom around the world, in Iran and Honduras, should never have to wonder which side America will choose between freedom and tyranny.
President Obama’s call for the reinstatement of Zelaya is a slap in the face to the people of Honduras. And the resolution written by the Organization of American States tramples over the hopes and dreams of a free and democratic people.
The rule of law is working in Honduras. President Obama should not undermine the democratic institutions that guarantee freedom by forcing an illegitimate President back into power.
This is not an ideal transition, but Hondurans are adhering to their constitution. The United States should support the Honduran people and their legitimate leaders in their brave and heroic stand for freedom and the rule of law.
Amen to that! Senator DeMint

JLenardDetroit Thursday, July 2nd at 2:11PM EDT (link)just sayin’ …. Not like anyone is/was formally challenging the Presidential Term Limit here - yet - or really demanding a change (though it has been tossed about a few different times, by both sides when they have a 2nd term President) but I think everyone understands and appreciates what I’m saying.
It would be nice if we gave a tad more concern for challenging things and folks on those grounds here a bit more from time to time.

As far as Honduras goes, I think you may be giving Barry a little too much credit. This man likes Chavez, Zelaya, Daniel Ortega, and what they are doing. His response to Honduras is not surprising seeing the Marxist moves he is making in our own country.
You need to be making this comment to the press
jyalai Thursday, July 2nd at 2:35PM EDT (link)I appreciate the post here, but opposition to Obama’s response to Honduras needs to go public. The Honduran people need to know that they are not alone in their fight with the rest of the Marxist world (UN), and Obama’s stance is not the American people’s stance.
What a beacon of light ....

Asking the Honduran people to take back Mr. Zelaya would be like asking the Romanian people to take back Mr. and Mrs. Ceausescu in 1989….
Thanks Senator
Common_Cents Thursday, July 2nd at 2:51PM EDT (link)Can we get a constitutional amendment proposed like Honduras has?

I appreciate your willingness to listen to the people you represent and keep your integrity and honesty with us.
The problems with Honduras must be broadcast all over our country. Without extreme pressure from you in Congress, Obama and his administration will continue to support the president. You can not rely on him to wake up one day and turn away from his support of these dictators. These are the people he emulates. He has shown through his ties to various groups and his own words that his foundation is in progressivism and Marxism. Congress must put enough politcal pressure on him that he has no choice but to reverse his stance.
Best of luck to you, sir. We’re behind you!

I’m disappointed, but not surprised that Obama has taken the wrong side in Honduras and in Iran. And YES, he DID take the WRONG side in Iran, bc he waited far too long to speak out, and then when he did it was all sorts of weak and watered down. Him and his stupid ice cream cones. Iran killing it’s own people, and charging the parents for the bullet fees. Shutting down communications…
I appreciate you Sen DeMint, but don’t be looking for Obama to change his colors. Not going to happen.
Senator, what steps are you willing to take in the face of an invasion of Honduras
civil_truth Thursday, July 2nd at 5:48PM EDT (link)…by American troops? …by Venezuela? …by an OAS-sanctioned invasion force?
Are you prepared to assemble a Congressional brigade to go to Tegucigalpa and publically stand next to the leaders of that nation if an invasion looks imminent to draw attention to that nation’s plight and stand up for democracy? Have you decided who will go, and what will be you signal to go (since if you wait for an actual invasion, then it will be too late)?
If not, you should be thinking about this and start planning this weekend.
RedState postings and press releases, meritorious as they are, are scant compensation for Chavez achieving regional hegemony and a secure base for lauching his revolution elsewhere in Central and South America. We need to throw a wrench into the Obama adminstration’s efforts to overthrow Honduras - and that will take more than words.
In brief, what actions do you have in mind personally to oppose Obama’s effort to undermine democracy and spread dictatorships throughout the world?
And Rightly So!
while you ask this of the Senator
Doc Holliday Thursday, July 2nd at 7:05PM EDT (link)you should ask the same of yourself. We all should be coming up with ideas, we all should be willing to do more than type. The Senator is taking a much bigger risk than we are by opposing Obama publicly. He should do more, the rest who have done nothing should to a lot more, and we should do more.

TY Sen. Demint! Now let's get the Congressmen
Doc Holliday Thursday, July 2nd at 6:37PM EDT (link)together and protest Obama on this! Republican leaders need to go to the floor, they need to stand on the Capitol steps, they need to go on all news outlets and say they support the Honduran democracy!
I am sickened that Obama has the authority to bully Hondurans because one of his Marxist buddies broke the law. I can not believe we have suspended military relations and there is a threat to cut off aid to Honduras. Is this going to be the 2000s version of the 1980’s Sandinistas and Contras fights? If so, we are ready to fight, if you and other leaders defy this president on Honduras, we WILL STAND WITH YOU!
If Obama cuts off aid, then conservatives should start a fund to give aid! If Obama and his buddy Chavez want to invade Honduras, we should support Honduras. I can’t believe the leftists in this country that always decry US “meddling” in Latin America are now so glad to have a president that is willing to threaten Honduras to break their own constitution! Is this America?

I did not read through the entire thing
Doc Holliday Thursday, July 2nd at 7:27PM EDT (link)And I don’t by the claim in the other thread the your name ending in “lib” stands for librarian. Unless you are an expert on Honduran law, you have little standing here. The former president of Honduras was trying to change a portion of the constitution that is not allowed to be changed. The Honduran SC said it could not be changed, so the former president was breaking the law.
It does not matter whether the proposed vote was binding, it was an attempt to break his nation’s law. AshvilleLIBERAL, are you on the side of Chavez, Castro, and Obama? Or do you stand for freedom and the rule of law? See, one vote is not liberty, liberty is the freedom to have many votes and many choices. Liberty is about following a Constitution that reduces the chance of tyranny.
I am no expert on Honduran law, but it seems the Honduran military and Supreme Court probably know a few things about it. Fidel and Chavez are spitting mad, that makes me think the Senator is on the right side.
Molon Labe!
ashevillelib, your claim to be a libertarian is not credible
civil_truth Thursday, July 2nd at 8:40PM EDT (link)First, your comments are in left-wing code, not in libertarian code.
Since you didn’t provide a link to this transcript excerpt, I had to do some internet searching to locate the full transcript, which I found on Real News Network.:
Military coup in Honduras
And perusing the other articles, reading the statement of purpose, and checking out the Board of Directors (which reads like a who’s who of the far left, not libertarians) gives a consistent portrait of the far left and Marxist analysis, not libertarians.
For instance, the TRNN Board of Directors list includes many Candians with whom I’m not familiar, but their American members include Jonathan Schell, and Makani Themba-Nixon (Executive Director of the Praxis Project).
More about Makani Themba-Nixon from the Praxis Project website:
And the TRNN Mission statement is full of left-wing code wordst, not libertarian, including this gem:

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies.

I’m just glad that clowns like that guy weren’t around back in 1989 in any positions of authority - they would have been similarly demanding that Nikolai and Elena Ceau?e?cu be returned to power as the “legitimate” leaders of Romania.
I hope the Hondurans can hold the line here - since if they don’t the payback will be horrid. Hopefully good people like Sen. DeMint will keep being very vocal about this one and not let that happen.

Jose Miguel Insulza, head of OAS to travel to Honduras to DEMAND ousted President Zelaya be reinstated. Who is Insulza?
Scope Thursday, July 2nd at 7:13PM EDT (link)Here’s the USA Today article-
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-07-02-honduras_N.htm?csp=249-RM_Exclude=Juno
In the above article, Insulza said that his mission will likely meet with rejection, bringing diplomatic and economic punishment for the impoverished Central American Nation. Hasn’t President Obama and Hillary Clinton already backed the reinstatement of Zelaya? Why would they do this, especially in light of the fact that they denied any support for the freedom fighting Iranians?
I found some interesting articles on Insulza. Here is his biography-
http://oas.org/documents/end/biography_sgInsulza.asp
I picked up on the 5th paragraph, last sentence- “He is a member of the Socialist Party” in Chile.
More interesting is an article I found from 2005, it is an eye opener- America’s protean left: Jose Miguel Insulza and the OAS

Take it to the floor, the steps and every outlet presented. If the media tries to filter this from coverage, frame the topic in a way it can’t be ignored.
