President Obama has stuck his nose into the affairs of a sovereign nation and demanded that Zelaya be returned to office. Why would he support a communist, rather than help Honduras to be free of communism if he is not one of them? Think about it.
The American people are censored from the real news by liberal news media that will not tell the truth. You will not hear this on CNN, ABC or NBC.
Socialism/communism is when the state controls production of industries. What has Mr. Obama achieved that no ordinary citizen wants? Obama nationalized financial and auto industry, even firing and hiring executives and dictating their pay. Now it is the healthcare industry’s turn to be nationalized. The healthcare industry only accounts for 1/7th of the entire economy of America.
If it wasn’t before, the ultimate purpose of Barack Obama is now clear to most people, that his role is a dictator. Of all Americans with the “Cybersecurity Act of 2009,” Obama wants to take control of the internet and private networks, this bill is making it’s was through congress now and it will give Obama’s executive branch the power to shut down the internet for any reason he considers a Cybersecurity emergency. Obama wants to shut down all opposition to his totalitarian programs and regime. He wants to stop any and all warning from going out when Obama’s initial troops begin arriving in our towns and cities.
Obama is already going against the will of the people with both his Obama care and “CAP and Trade” bills, both of these bills are designed to further gut the country of it’s wealth and liberties. This will create a situation where America will not be able to survive.
Since usurping the United States presidency, Obama has instituted one assault after the other against the American people. Why? Could it be that he is a Muslim and the American people are infidels to him? No one in his/her right mind would be doing these things except out of hatred for his victims.
Even before he was elected, he spoke with disdain about the constitution. No wonder. He is a member of the Marxist Council on Foreign Relations, which is working to dissolve America and merge it into a one-world government.
And, no, this is not a race issue as Mr. Carter would like for Obama to think, but it is for his performance since he became president.
The elites of both parties consider themselves to be citizens of the world, not of the United States of America. They think the United States of America is outdated, according to them, the Declaration of Independence and the constitution should be tossed away as a relic of forgotten history. To these people, the United States is no longer a sovereign nation and Obama made a speech to our enemies in some of the Muslim countries he visited, saying that America is not a Christian nation.
No longer governed by the consent of its citizens, but instead nothing more than a spoke in their global village, the elites want to pick our pockets and tell us to shut up and pay our taxes and believe what they tell us. It’s time for the American people to start speaking out for our freedom and our country, loud and clear and start thinking about how we can vote those people out of the White House in 2010. If we can accomplish that, then those people who are voted in can block Obama’s agenda.
And there is another way also. The Bible says in 2nd Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sins and will heal their land.”
God bless America,

As for Zelaya, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton are simply standing up for the democratic principle: Zelaya was not given "due process of the law." Where was the trial? Why wasn't he given the opportunity to defend himself? Why was Zelaya simply sent on his way? Answer: because the right wing had NO case against him! If the Honduran people voted him into office -- and they did -- he has a responsibility to them, to complete his term in office. As President Arias said, "Clothing a coup with silk does not undo the fact that it is still a coup."
It was the wealthy Honduran business owners that had Zelaya tossed out because he had about doubled the minimum wage that the buisness owners had to pay.
I don't take any side. OK, so Zelaya is out. It would appear that he has no concern for the safety and security of his fellow Honduran. He stated that he didn't carte if anyone was killed supporting his cause. This is politics in Honduras. I agree that Obama should stay clear of this and offer no comment. What Obama and other organizations have done by denying finances to Honduras has only hurt the people who live there. As the new government is now spending their reserves, the hurt will continue for some time. I believe that Obama didn't give this much thought.

Not everything is a conspiracy, I have to give major kudos to the editor for publishing views that are controversial as much as they do.
For craps sake, they publish my letters to the editor!
And as stated before, Republicans are not always innocent but anyone who believes that Democrats are any better are living in a dream world.
John Kerry has supported the Anti-American positions of Ho Chi Minh, Communist China, the Soviet Union, Castro, Ortega, Kim Jong Ill, Saddam Hussein, Aristide and Arafat. Most disturbing is Kerry's position on Communism. Communism is the greatest evil that man has ever known. It is responsible for more than 100 millions deaths (more than all the wars in history combined), millions and millions of refugees and the subjugation and slavery of over 2 billion people since WWII (70). Communist regimes always follow a similar pattern. A Communist regime has never been elected, so first Communists must orchestrate a revolution, often with the support of funding from preexisting Communist regime. Next, Communists dissolve private property, nationalize media and begin a brutal purge of political prisoners and the upper classes. To conduct it's class warfare and maintain control of the revolting people, the state will militarize, establish a large secret police presence, and create horrific labor/reeducation camps. The economy collapses, failed farm policies result in starvation, refugees flee, and the government begins to export Communist revolution abroad. How far the government is willing to push the Communist philosophy will directly equate with the severity of these events and the suffering of their people. This exact pattern has come to pass in the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, Angola, Eastern Europe, Yugoslavia, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Cuba. A few countries on this list have not experienced the true hell of Communism because the governments either didn't last long enough to take full root, or total Communist policies were not pursued in earnest. Kerry failed to stand against Communism and was ignorant of it's true nature. As history has proven time and time again, one cannot appease or negotiate with Communists or dictators, yet that is precisely the stance Kerry has taken throughout his career. His reliance on the United Nations is also misguided. In 1970 he told a Harvard newspaper: “I’m an internationalist,” Kerry told The Crimson in 1970. “I’d like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.” Kerry said he wanted “to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care.” US Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass) was suspected of offering Colombian Marxist FARC terrorists assistance while at the same time he was undermining the Colombian government. The evidence was discovered on the computer of FARC rebel leader Raul Reyes after his death in March at an Ecuadorean FARC camp. Interpol confirmed the computers were not tampered with or the documents manufactured by the Colombian government. While most of Congress was spending an August recess tending to local constituents, Representative William D. Delahunt was in Caracas, sitting down to a four-hour, one-on-one dinner conversation with President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela. That meeting, unusual for a sitting member of Congress and a head of state so critical of the US, sparked negotiations that led to the official announcement a US subsidiary of a Venezuelan-owned company will provide 12 million gallons of discounted home heating oil to Massachusetts consumers and organizations serving the poor. This meeting took place in November, 2005. Less than eight months after Delahunt’s meeting, the price of a gallon of gas hit $4 a gallon in the U.S. At the same time Massachusetts voters got a steal of a deal on home heating oil, Delahunt was opposing a Bush administration proposal to open up the OCS for drilling. That drilling would’ve yielded millions of metric tons of natural gas. So would’ve opening up ANWR, where huge reserves of natural gas still exist. Rather than betray his environutter allies, Rep. Delahunt chose to deal with Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.Ex-President Jimmy Carter invited Robert Mugabe to the White House in 1980 and fully supported this dictator's rise to power in Rhodesia. Moderate black Bishop Abel Muzorewa had been elected to the post of prime minister. However, President Carter with the support of the world press succeeded in declaring the election null and void. Mugabe, an avowed Marxist, was elected in a second election. The totals of the Zimbabwe disaster under Mugabe are still being tallied: 70 percent unemployment, a total dictatorship, the displacing of productive white farmers and the resulting destruction of productive farms, an exodus of three million Zimbabweans from the country. Carter has been instrumental in the rise to power of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Hugo Chavez was saved from recall by the voters in Venezuela in 2004 with Carter "monitoring" the election. The election was suspicious on many fronts. The exit polls conducted by an independent New York poling firm declared one half hour before the polls closed that Chavez had been defeated. When the official results were announced, Chavez was declared the winner by nearly the exact opposite percentages as the independent poll had determined. Jimmy Carter certified the Chavez victory anyway. Chavez has shown himself to be a continual hater of the United States. In 1994, without governmental authority, Carter went to North Korea and brokered a deal with Kim Jung Il that was supposed to keep that rogue state from attaining nuclear weapons. Jimmy's "negotiation" called for the United States to provide the North Koreans with $4 billion worth of light water reactors and $100 million in oil in exchange for a promise not to develop weapons plus assurances that inspectors would be allowed in. On Aug. 28, 2003 North Korea announced that it possessed nuclear weapons. Perhaps the most egregious and far reaching of the Jimmy Carter failures was his bringing down of the Shah of Iran in 1979, to be replaced by radical Muslim cleric Ayatollah Khomeini. The history of Iran is such that a secular government friendly to both the West and their trading partners along the ancient trade routes, such as India and China, had been an important stabilizing element in Mid-east politics for centuries. Jimmy Carter pressured the Shah, a longtime friend of the United States, to leave Iran. Then he denied him asylum and medical treatment. At the same time he supported the fundamentalist Mullahs who opposed the Shah. A religious revolution followed and the rise of Muslim fundamentalism had begun in the Middle East. The terrorism and overall unrest that plagues the world today can be properly traced to this specific failure of the Jimmy Carter presidency. (Didn't Jackson Jones (a democrat) buy votes for him?). Consider the "up to $5 million" in donations to the Clinton foundation from Gilbert Chagoury, known for his ties to Nigeria's former military dictator, General Sani Abacha. Clinton sold weapons to the Indonesian military, brought General Suharto, the Indonesian dictator, to the Oval Office and offered him F16s. The next day, a White House official told the New York Times Suharto was “our kind of guy.” Clinton's administration under the JCET program sent Green Berets into Indonesia. They trained the Indonesian Kopassus Special Forces in advanced sniper technique, urban warfare and similar tactics. ..... so much more..... so little time. And I am not saying Republicans are any better, but only fools believe democrats are.
