Suppose President Obama was in his second term and decided that he wanted to stay in office indefinitely. Let's further suppose that he was insisting on pushing forward with a referendum to amend the constitution so that he could become a dictator. Let's say that the Supreme Court ruled that such a vote was illegal and that the Congress was opposed as well. Imagine that the opposition not only consisted of other political parties, but also his own Vice-President and leaders of his party. Imagine if he called on Hugo Chavez to illegally ship ballots to our country to force this vote. To make matters worse, imagine President Obama organizing a mob to storm the facility that was holding the illegal ballots. Stay with me, the story gets better. Now, let's say that under our constitution, the Supreme Court was allowed to order an arrest and in fact they ordered that the President be arrested in order to preserve democracy and the rule of law. This is exactly what happened to President Zelaya in Honduras and yet our President decided to line up in support of this wannabe dictator along side the likes of the Castro Brothers, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and every other Marxist in Latin America.
Apparently, the Democrats in Congress are starting to realize the fallacy of their ways and are back-peddling on their support of Zelaya. Too bad the mainstream media is not following their lead. they continue to report the situation in Honduras as a military coup.
From HotAir:
The Obama administration jumped quickly into the fray over the
removal and expulsion of president Manuel Zelaya from Honduras, calling
the action a “coup” and demanding his reinstatement. Fellow Democrats
in Congress followed suit, but The Hill
reports that they may be changing their minds. Suddenly, they have
begun acknowledging the crimes Zelaya committed and stopped calling for
his return to office.
Maybe the national media can finally follow suit and report the
entire story on the Honduran crisis. While the Hondurans made a big
mistake in forcibly exiling Zelaya, they had ample reason to arrest him
and try him for several violations of their constitution. It’s
entirely possible to criticize the manner of Zelaya’s removal while
still recognizing the necessity of protecting the nation from a
dictatorship in its nascent stages.
