What the hell does John Conyers think that his job is as US Congressman? Obviously reading and understanding what he votes for isn’t something he thinks he should do. I would have to believe that his constituents however do. Oh wait, probably not. After all they keep voting this lame excuse for a representative.
Consider the company that he keeps. His wife plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit bribery.
The people of Honduras recently, peacefully and legaly, overthrew their President and defended their Constitution. Meanwhile the UN, OAS, Obama and Chavez all are whining about how unfair this is. The Honduran Supreme Court and Congress authorized this and the military did their sworn duty. Too bad this doesn’t happen in the US. Barney, Nancy, Harry and company should all be escorted out of office.
From the Wall Street Journal…
What an irony - the OAS kicked out Honduras out of this lame duck on July the 4th for defending its sovereignty and Constitution! Wow!
Thank you so much OAS for showing the entire world how you have become a farse. Why nobody there has ever said anything about how Chavez has violated the freedom and liberty of Venezuelans over the past 10 years?! Why the OAS doesn’t says anything about all the crimes the Sandinista president Daniel Ortega has done in over three decades?! Why does the OAS allowed the return of Cuba to the org while it’s obvious that the Castro brothers are tyrants?! Why doesn’t the OAS says a thing about the socialist and corrupt governments of Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina?! Why does the OAS declined to hear what us, Hondurans, have to say about Zelaya. That is, through the Catholic Church Cardinal in Honduras, Protestant church leaders, Civil Society org’s, etc/ Why? Why does the world turns against us?!
OAS, Why the double standard? Why the US, a self-proclaimed friend of our country decided to side with dictators such as Hugo Chavez, Rafael Correa, and Daniel Ortega? The people who is hurt with this lame polarized decision isn’t our new president -Micheletti- nor Chavez’ puppet -Mel Zelaya- but us, Hondurans. Thank you OAS for showing your true colors.
Proud Honduran,

And another insightful comment d’Jour…
-AND here we go again with biased reporting from “progressive socialist” (and here I cannot use the descriptive words that are appropriate because I would be barred from these pages) reporters.
Let’s Review… Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad steals the election, shoots and kills protesters on the streets of Teheran, and the entire world says “…nothing…”. Honduras peacefully removes a HUGO CHAVEZ FRIAZ wannabe Dictator from their country UNHARMED on the morning that he intends to grab power through an illegal vote with ballots printed by Venezuela, and the entire European Union, the OAS and the Mrs. Clinton-Obama group promptly castigates the poor beggar country. As for the Mrs. Clinton-Obama Administration, it seems eager to jump in on Honduras in a way Mrs. Clinton-Obama claimed was counterproductive in Iran. Yet the stolen election in Iran was a far clearer subversion of democracy than the “coup against democracy” in Honduras. This should not surprise anyone. Mrs. Clinton-Obama favored the recent re-admission of the Castro Brothers and Cuba into the Organization of American States (OAS) without enforcing Cuba to make any democratic changes. It will not surprise me when, one day soon, Obama himself apologizes to the Castro Brothers for the “abuses” they received from the U S. Now the Mrs. Clinton-Obama administration wants to reinsert a dictator upon the Honduran people. Remember what happened in Haiti when Bill Clinton reinserted Jean-Bertrand Aristide upon the Haitian people? Remember the bloodshed and the deployment of US Troops?
This was NOT a Military Coup. It was people defending their constitutional right to freedom and democracy! It is unfortunate that the military was asked to extricate Zelaya from his bed and send him UNHARMED to Costa Rica. Would it have been better to use civilians and then listening to the world press rant about “unruly extreme right wing mob” forces president to flee the country? If the reporting in 2009 was around in 1775, we’d all be singing God Save the Queen.
The OAS is leftist and the UN as well. Hat’s off to new Honduran President Micheletti who will not bow to Red Bullies under the guise of international “democracy”. The true abuser of democracy is Mel Zelaya, the adored symbol of the Latin American (and U S?) socialistas. Honduras has no OIL like Iran, no MONEY to BOW to like King Saudi Arabia, and no NUKES like North Korea, so naturally the UN, the OAS, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama have no fear of pushing around the little banana republic.
