Obama is once again on the wrong side of an issue. This time it is the Honduran people’s attempt to maintain a democracy, their constitution and the rule of law.

The Honduran Congress and Supreme Court recently ousted President Manuel Zelaya for flagrantly violating the constitution. Zelaya grabbed for unrestricted political power, continuously ignored rulings of Congress and the Supreme Court and allegedly supported drug trafficking primarily from Venezuela. Consistent with Honduras’ constitution, Congress removed him from power and the Supreme Court ordered the military to remove him from office.

Obama has teamed up with his buddies Fidel Castro, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez and assorted lowlifes from the United Nations to penalize Honduras and seeks to reinstate Zelaya, by force if necessary. U.S. economic support for Honduras is being withdrawn in an attempt to cripple and intimidate the Honduran people. As reported in The Spokesman-Review on July 1, Honduran crowds in the streets were shouting “It wasn’t a coup! Democracy, yes! Communism, no!”

Obama’s sympathies and efforts, however, are aligned with the Marxists Chavez, Castro and Zelaya against the will of the Honduran people who are trying to defend their constitution and democracy. This is starting to sound familiar.
