Honduras did not have a Coup.

In fact the Supreme Court of Honduras with the consent of the Congress ordered the military to seize the former President and escort him out of the Country. Why? Because he was rabble rousing and tried to illegally change the Constitution of the Country.

I wonder why NONE of this was reported before. A Coup is when the Military seizes power , they never seized power, they acted under the direct orders of the Supreme Court and the Congress of Honduras. The Military was never in power. Congress replaced the President at the same time he was ousted by the COURTS and the CONGRESS.

thats what i was reading too....i guess Barack missed the memo....

This was actually reported the day the supposed "coup" took place. Why Obama along with the MSM chose to side with Chavez is anybody's guess.

birds of a feather?

That is awesome. I'll have to owe you rep for that one.

Using the hammer-and-sickle symbol for non-communists Chavez and Ortega is merely evidence of the political ignorance of this school of thought. There was lasting debate about the impeachment process for Zelaya, but the exact actions that the constitution provided for were unclear. The impropriety of forcible military removal and deportation of an elected head of state is even more apparent in that regard, especially since his "unconstitutional" actions involved an attempt to organize a nonbinding referendum, an action far too trivial to warrant such extreme retaliation.

neither ortega or chavez would be where they are had castro not supported them
so yeah, that tag doesnt fit

As coups go, this was a pretty benign one.

30 years ago, the military in Honduras would have slaughtered the President, his wife, his kids, his dog, all his close confidants, and 1000 of his supporters and their wives and children. This time, they gave him the option of house arrest or going to Costa Rica. That's progress.

"Chaveza"? Sounds kinda queer. As it were, Chavez came to national prominence as a result of an attempted revolt against then-president Carlos Andres Perez, which Castro issued a statement of opposition toward. I'd advise you to study your history a bit more.

ever do a typo?
this just makes you look like an even bigger asshole than before
