Honduras gives us an opportunity to gain insight into the Obama psyche and a very possible course of events that may unfold before the this administration leaves office.
The media would have you believe that the situation in Honduras is some sort of complicated incomprehensible political squabble of the kind that has plagued the Hispanic Americas for decades. Nothing could be further from the truth. The situation is very simple and clear cut. Its a battle between the forces of freedom and law and order standing up to defend their country form yet another would be dictator. Guess which side Obama supports?
Here is a brief synopsis of the events: Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed from office by order of the country’s judiciary, including the Honduran Supreme Court, in agreement with the Armed Forces and the Honduran Congress. The reason for this unceremonious removal is that Mr. Zelaya- taking a page from the playbooks of such champions of freedom as Castro ,Chavez, and our own Michael Bloomberg and maybe even from a future Obama play-book,-sought to remove restraints that would allow him to seek reelection beyond the constitutionally mandated four year term.
I for one can find no fault with the course of action taken by the other branches of the Honduran government against this budding dictator. Honduras like all the countries in the Hispanic Americas have precious little democratic tradition. The populations of the countries south of the border have a high illiteracy level are in large part completely ignorant of democratic principles and are easily manipulated by populist rhetoric- is it any wonder that Obama wants to bring seventy million or so into our country and give them the right to vote? Against this backdrop the actions of the Honduran Government are a rare example of a nation’s guardians of democratic principles standing up to the forces of tyranny. Chavez threatened to invade Honduras, the Castros condemned the Honduran Government as did Obama.
Isn’t it odd how Obama doesn’t want to “meddle in the internal affairs” of Iran, a country whose people are trying to overthrow one of the world’s most brutally oppressive regimes and yet jumps at the chance to immediately and unequivocally meddle in the internal affairs of a country whose government has deposed a dictator?
Where do you think that Obama’s sympathies lie? How about his goals? Obama and the liberals know fully well that whatever plan they might have to push for a populist backed third Obama term- rest assure he fully believes that he will win a second term-will have to overcome those silly barriers imposed by the constitution and upheld by the judiciary. (Yes I am very worried about the safety of some of our Supreme Court Justices.) As such Obama simply cannot condone a movement for freedom in which practically the entire government of a country peacefully preemptively removes form office a would be dictator. Certainly not in the legal climate, encouraged by the liberals, where foreign laws are used to set US legal precedent,. Heck Obama probably takes the situation in Honduras very personally.
Update
Its good to hear Rush Limbaugh echoing my point that Obama just might try to pull the same kind of stunt as Manuel Zelaya.
Good job Rush but I said it first 🙂
