Bend over Hondurans, join us and the Iranians in being $H!T F%@KED by Obama

Manuel Zelaya was going to supercede the rule of law, and cross the Senate. The Senate struck back, and ousted him for going against the rule of law.

I think we all know that Obama couldn’t find Honduras on a map even if his teleprompter put a big red ‘X’ on it.

You never hear from Chavez or Hanoi Jane Fonda unless you take a position against a communist or marxist dictator. That is what this is all about. Zelaya was in the process of destroying the Honduran constitution, much like the usurper of the American presidency is doing by refusing to show his documents that show he is qualified under our constitution to serve.

The difference is we in America have been the victim of a coup that has brought a foreign born neo-communist college professor to power.

To bad our courts, congress and military do not have the balls to defend our constitution.

Ah come on people. A Little Communism never hurt anyone give or take 100 million or so.

Zelaya, Chavez, Castro, Obama – Band of Brothers.

ah the simple fantasies of life, like obama getting hooded and run out of the country by our military. i guess at least somewhere people dont like their constitution being crapped on by a wanna be despot.

BO and Hill are Comrades who are UnAmerican Neo-Fascists Taoists…or C.U.N.T.S…

O;ld Man – you forgot Ortega! Here we are allied with the top Commie thugs of S. America. Way to go Obama!

GlobalObserver   June 29th, 2009 - 9:34 pm

Where is the Republican outrage over this? Unless they’re just waiting for Obama to dig himself into a hole, their silence makes them just as guilty.

America…Honduras last time I looked was not an Islamic country…yet!

Bilderberg Bush-Obama doesn’t hesitate to speak out with other dictators around the world on this coup as being illegal, but he won’t step up and be counted to stand between two Islamic factions fighting in Iran!

His book was right…America…when it comes down to it…he will go with the Muslims every time!

======================

JUST ANOTHER SAD AND PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘DICTATORSHIP’ OF BARRY HUSSEIN AND HIS QUEST TO APPRECIATE ALL THINGS ISLAMIC AND DAMN ALL THINGS THAT ARE NOT!

Zbignew Brezinski’s diplomacy. Obarry doesen’t know where Honduras is on the f-in globe. A puppet is a puppet. You idiots really think these T.V personalities make policy? Read a fu-in book. Gotta go Michael Jackson special on CNN, “Cutting through the bull, no bias no bull” just straight up facts, facts after facts after facts after facts, so many facts you’ll pass the SAT, and then some more shocking revelations with some groundbreaking insight from some of the most brilliant minds in show biz.

So does that mean when Idi Amin Obama asked for a plebacite to be President for life…the pentagon shall not be heard from?

ben   June 30th, 2009 - 12:53 am

And Obama tells us the ouster of the Honduran president was illegal because he studied Honduran Law in Harvard. BO incorrectly calls Honduras a “democracy,” when it is actually a constitutional republic. And although Zelaya was trampling all over the constitution, he was generously given a plane ride to Costa Rica instead of being hoisted on a meat hook in some dungeon. Big surprise from a president who appoints a Supreme Court justice who thinks the US Constitution was written by a bunch of white men who are not as smart as she is, and therefore can be ignored when convenient in spite of the oaths she took to uphold it.

pavoldi   June 30th, 2009 - 8:30 am

I just got back from Honduras Saturday and the last thing I ever expected to hear was that the US was not fully supporting the defense of their constitution, including Zelaya’s ouster…

idjk   June 30th, 2009 - 9:08 am

Odd how fast (just hours) Obama and team came out on the removal of this illegal president but took a week to talk on Iran.

Honduras is screwing up Obama’s Puppetmaster’s Longterm Plan. Obama needs both North and South America to be Completely Socialist to help instill the New World Order. He is almost done converting the US into his Socialist Regime. The American Dollar will die a painfull death in 2010 before the Election. Amero’s will be introduced as the new currency of the realm in Canada, USSA, Mexico and South America (The Denver Mint has already printed up a Surplus of these and pictures of them are all over the Internet). This is the Reason congress is Ramming all these bills through without even Reading them. He still has the Health Bill (Socialized Health Care) and the Immigration Bill (No More Illegal Aliens – Everyone is a Citizen) to go as well as the Fairness Doctrine Bill (Shut Down Conservative Radio) and the Gun Bill (Disarm all Americans or make it so they can’t Afford Ammunition). No Doubt All of these will be rammed through before a 2010 Election. My Guess is that we will not have a 2010 or 2012 election.

And why hasn’t Chairman Obama meddled with Iran all of last week, while young peope over there are losing their lives while demonstrating for freedom and independence, etc. But Obama along with Hillary Clinton meddled with the Honduran dictator yesterday, what the hell does that tell you about this goddamn administration? It tells you all that this administration is crooket, & backwards, and it also tells that Obama is a “DICTATOR”! Make no mistake about that folks, this man is a leftist-dictator, and that why he along with Castro, Chavez & Clinton took the side of the dictator from Honduras & where are the Obamaites on this topic?

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!!

Sean R.   June 30th, 2009 - 1:23 pm

And BTW, leftist-progresstards DO NOT stand for freedom & independence, leftist only stand for “fascism”, “tyranny” anda complete dictatorship. It’s us on the right who stands for freedom, liberty, independence, etc.!

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!!
