Honduras Acted Lawfully To Remove Leftist Despot

Of all the miserable behavior coming from the Obama Administration, surely the most seemly has been Obama's backing of former Honduran president Manuel Zelaya. Zelaya was trying to impose a Venezuelan-style dictatorship on Honduras, when the Honduran legislature and the Honduran Supreme Court removed him from office.
Obama and the Democratic Party, both of which have shown more sympathy for dictatorships than free people condemned it as a coup and have applied enormous pressure on Honduras, trying to force that country into a leftist dictatorship.

Well, the Library of Congress has handed down a finding regarding Honduras's actions and guess what? Honduras acted lawfully to remove Zelaya. And guess what again? The Democrats are trying to force the Library of Congress to retract the finding.

The chairmen of the House and Senate foreign relations committees are asking the Law Library of Congress to retract a report on the military-backed coup in Honduras that they charge is flawed and "has contributed to the political crisis that still wracks'' the country.

The request, by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. and Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., has sparked cries of censorship from Republicans who say the Democrats don't like what the August report said: that the government of Honduras had the authority to remove President Manuel Zelaya from office.

Zelaya has been holed up at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa for several weeks, and high-ranking U.S. officials arrived Wednesday to try to broker a resolution.

Critics of the Obama administration -- which condemned Zelaya's removal in June -- have pointed to the report as evidence that the White House was wrong when it sided with most Latin American countries in calling for Zelaya to be returned.

Wrong! The political crisis that "still wracks" Honduras is a consequence of Barack Obama, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, Cuban dictator Raul Chavez and other leftist interfering in Honduran affairs.
