Honduras crisis ending with a whimper

Roberto MIcheletti's first public statement when coming to office, was that he would uphold the elections November 29, which were already programmed long before Zelaya was deposed.

In fact Zelaya was deposed BECAUSE he would interfere with the elections, which constitutes treason according to our Constitution.

Tim Padgett is obviously very uninformed as to what actually took place in Honduras, which is quite unfortunate given that he was assigned to write an article about their crisis. First of all, no military coup occurred in Honduras. After Zelaya's REPEATED violations of the Honduran constitution (art. 239), the Supreme Court voted 15-0 (with over 1/2 being members of Zelaya's own political party). The action was approved by their congress (122-6 vote). The military simply carried out the orders given it by the Supreme Court, but was never at any point in control of the govt. The arrest and removal of Zelaya was in accorance with Honduran law and its constitution, except deporting him out of the country.

If it's ordered by the legislature and the judiciary, then it can't very well be illegal. One branch makes the laws, the other interprets it. I trust their judgement over the opinions of some Chavista thugs.

Also, why does the original post characterize the future President as "a (somewhat) democratically elected leader?" It seems like that qualifier was thrown in out of spite for Honduras.

' The international condemnation of the Honduran coup forced the government to quickly hold elections to hand off control to a more legitimate leader. This has been a consistent pattern in recent coups.'
This is the stupidest thing the writer could have possibly said. The elections are being held at their normally scheduled time. The primaries had been held previously under Zelaya's administration. The interim government always intended to hold the regular election at the regular time. It was Zelaya who did not intend to hold elections. He misappropriated the money and never provided ANY budget whatsoever to the electoral commission because he never intended for there to be any election. One of the first things Micheletti did was to budget the money for the electoral commission, not because of international opinion, but because Zelaya had refused to do it.

There have been claims that Zelaya's desire to change the constitution was legal, but the Honduran Constitution also states that it is the legislature, not the president, who can call a constitutional assembly.

This event has really opened my eyes as to how much our media is controlled by communists. I used to want to be a journalist when I was young. The amazing bias of the press to tell lies and pass out misinformation has flabbergasted me. I didn't like Obama before, but he could have done almost anything except mess with Honduras and I would have grumbled about the stinkin democrats and let it go at that. This support for the chavistas has been astonishing.
I hope Jim De Mint runs against him in the next election.

It really is amazing to me how people in the US actually believe their political system is "filled with communists" and how Obama is a "radical leftist"...

Coming from a country were we do actually have a communist terrorist organization trying to create a revolution of the proletariat, and where presidential candidates openly threaten to abolish free market (and they get 30% of the votes!), it just amazes me how anyone could call any American socialist a "radical". You just have no idea what a radical is...
