The Hondurans Defend Their Constitution

The Boot Licking Press and the despots are attacking the people again.  In the right corner are the people of Honduras, their national Congress, Supreme Court, Attorney General, the Military and the Honduran Constitution.  In the left corner are Hugo Chavez, the Boot Licking Press, the Castros and the Dictators in Training-Presidents Zelaya and Obama. The Honduran people are an inspiration to us in America, as they defend themselves against tyranny and despotism.
 
It seemed easy, to Zelaya and his fellow dictators.  They simply run rough shod over the Honduran Constitution with thugs and phony ballots on an unconstitutional referendum to keep Zelaya in power and turn him into the next Chavez.  They miscalcualted, and so has Obama and his boot lickers.  Not that the truth of the matter is being reported; with notable exdceptions, like the Wall St. Journal article by Mary Anastasia O'Grady on June 29, 2009.  In it, she states "That Zelaya acted as if he were above the law, there is no doubt.  While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president.  A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress."
 
Zelaya thought he could declare his own referendum and had Chavez send him ballots from Venezuala.  What, Obama, ACORN and their thugs weren't available?  Zelaya could've received greater volume discounts that way.  What a shame.  He thought the military would distribute the ballots and manage the vote.  They refused and finally acted on orders from the Honduran Supreme Court to defend the Constitution by arresting Zelaya.  It was not a military coup, it was an act of law.
 
Obama is showing he also believes he is above the law.  We can take inspiration from the actions of the Honduran people; who until recently were crushed under dictatorships and have now thrown out a despot.  It's only fair, we inspired them in the past.  The general structure of their government is based on our own: with a division of powers, a President, a Congress, a Supreme Court and a Constitution.  There are some diferences.  The Honduran government is a national government imposed directly on the people, instead of the Federal system we have with our Amendment process.  Even with these differencies, the people and the rule of law triumphed in Honduras.
 
What Obama is doing in America is unconstitutional and against the law only as long as we allow him to trample on the Constitution.  The theme of the Fourth of July has always been about freedom from oppression, whether imposed from abroad or from our own government.  (At the time of the signing of the Declaration, we were Englishmen and part of the British Empire, even though we were taxed while not being respresented in the British House of Commons).  We are hardly respresented in this government, as we are being taxed at ever increasing rates.  So I suggest an additional theme for the day.  On the Fourth, we declare our independence again and show our solidarity with the rule of law and the Honduran people.
