A Coup Caucus?
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Mark Goldberg identifies the Republicans who are supporting the coup in Honduras, the second break with President Obama’s foreign policy in less than a month.
Florida Republican Connie Mack is circulating a congressional resolution that effectively supports the coup. So far, the Congressional Coup Caucus includes Dan Burton (Republican from Indiana), Jeff Fortenberry (Republican from Nebraska) and Dana Rohrabacher (Republican from California).
The resolution is kind of what you’d expect from the Venezuela-obsessed Mack: “Whereas since his removal, Mr. Zelaya has been flown around the hemisphere by Hugo Chavez’s private jets.”

There is NO coup! What Connie Mack is rightfully defending is the human rights of Hondurans.
The U.S. should be supporting Hondurans and the rule of law, not Zelaya, a Chavez clone desperate to enslave Hondurans! It's despicable that, rather than defending the human rights of Hondurans and Latin Americans, Obama is siding with the Marxist thugs who are trampling on those human rights and working with drug cartels and Islamic terrorist to destroy the U.S!
I guess it was to be expected from Obama. As his parents, relatives, friends and mentors, Obama is a Marxist who hates the U.S. As such, he sides with Marxist dictators and would-be dictators who seek to enslave their countries and destroy the U.S.
Zelaya behaved illegally and the Honduras military acted under the orders of the country's Supreme Court to remove that president, and to elevate the person next in line under the Honduras Constitution. This is Constitutional Democracy in action combating illegal behavior by a sitting President. Is that why Obama does not like it?
Zelaya was implementing in Honduras the scheme devised by the enemies of freedom and implemented by Chavez and the rest of the Marxist thugs to gain absolute power. They would like Zelaya to be reinstated so he can continue with his plans to enslave Honduras while pretending to act democratically. Is that why Obama wants Zelaya reinstated?
