The Golddigger and President Pyrite Keep Giving Honduras The Shaft
October 1st, 2009 at 11:11 pm by BrianAnd I don’t dig it. But Jim DeMint does rock.
On Thursday morning, the freshman Republican announced that he would lead a congressional delegation to Honduras on Friday ahead of the country’s Nov. 29 elections.
…
“While this administration has failed to act decisively in Afghanistan, it is has no problem cracking down on a democratic ally and one of the poorest nations in Latin America,” DeMint added. “Now, President Obama and Democrats’ blind support for this would-be dictator and friend of Hugo Chavez will prevent members of Congress from learning the truth first hand.”
Lurch McKetchup is trying to obstruct DeMint’s fact-finding mission to Honduras so that DeMint can be present for a Foreign Relations Committee vote where justice and competency are sure to lose to two more Obama comminees.
Typical for the guy who ran around undermining Bush abroad to our ostensible allies when he was making his case for the office in 2004 or who all sat idly by when Jim McDermott and David Bonior ran off to Baghdad on the eve of the invasion. Or when Natasha Pelosivic rushed off to Syria to lick the boot heel of Baby Assad.
What’s good for the goose.
What’s the worst he can do after all they’ve done? Censure you on the floor?
Honduras is a friend of ours. If Zelaya gets back in it won’t be anymore. There would be a bloody crackdown on everyone who enforced their Constitution. The judges would be thrown in jail. The opposition killed. Dissenting publications squelched. And blood on Obama’s already filthy hands.
Do it, DeMint. Shine the disinfecting sunlight of the truth on the tools of Venezuela in Washington.

“Lurch McKetchup” – Absolute Platinum, Brian. I’m still laughing as I type this, even though this situation is as serious as Cancer.

Compare Brian’s conjecture that Zelaya would lead a bloody crackdown if he was returned to office to the reality of the Micheletti regime. Constitutional protections have been suspended, all opposition radio and TV closed down, and peaceful protesters killed. Brian accuses, perhaps falsely, one side of wanting to do what the other side actually is doing.
Constitutional legality may have been initially on the side of those who deposed Mel Zelaya, but morality is probably against them. They represent the economic elite who want to keep all that they have and keep the poor as poor as they are today.
Honduras does not need a Chavez. It needs a Lula da Silva.

Perhaps falsely. Perhaps completely true. The media crackdown was after Zelaya’s people were going to promote a 3 month anniversary riot to reinstall himself.
I’d say the jury’s still out on Lula. With Brazil’s oil discovery, he can now afford to start making all kinds of promises and social programs to keep himself in power until he feels like he doesn’t love the limelight anymore. Has that ever happened before?
Lula who is throwing gas on the current crisis by hiding Zelaya out in the Brazilian embassy.
Any time you feel like conjuring up a link to the brutal crackdown on “peaceful” Zelaya supporters. The main places I see commenting on the so-called crackdown are lunatic sites like the World Socialist Web and Raw Story as if I’m to make a distinction between the two.
The fact is the only way Zelaya can come back to power is through violence. Cue the rabble rousing teacher’s unions, as leftwing in Honduras as they are here. Three protesters have died since Zelaya’s peaceful ouster after he tried to make himself dictator for life.
Three protesters egged on by Zelaya interlopers seeking to promote a violent return.
Micheletti must be allowed to setup an election and he should not stay in power either if only to quell.
Anyone who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Chavez is an enemy of freedom and an enemy of this country.
