In Honduras, the about-to-leave President Zelaya tried to pull a Chavez and hold onto power. The Supreme Court disagreed. So did the majority of people. The army stepped in. He's out...and guess who claiming foul? Guess who's meddling? Well, sure, Ugo, but also Hillary and Obama.
In September, 2008 I wrote this about then-candidate Obama and the Democrat Party:
"In the 1960s-70s, the American Left adopted the "enemy of my enemy
is my friend" line of political alliances and began hugging communist
dictators, hoisting their flags as a big "in yer face" to the
establishment. In those days the Democrat Congress kept these radicals
at arms length as useful idiots, then were forced to turn their backs
and hold themselves blameless as those dictators turned genocidal. It
had become a matter of face, and a slow down-hill slide since. For you
see, ever so subtly, the party of the Civil Rights Movement, did not
want to have to belly up to the truth of the obverse of that line,
namely that "the friend of my enemy is my enemy".
They have now. The American Left was always indifferent to the
massacre of innocent life if it brought about a desirable political
end, even back to the days of Stalin and Walter Duranty. By the 60's
they had enlisted an army of cannon fodder from the more affluent
sectors of American society who simply could not, by a tortured
self-delusional teat-fit sort of logic, allow themselves to see the end
results of things they set into motion. Today those armies have
swollen, probably in numbers, but most certainly in decibel levels
(thanks to the internet). So now it is official...
...the friend of their enemy is now officially their enemy. To
hell with the old sentiments of the civil rights movement. To hell with
the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." To hell with John 15:13, once upon a
time a liberal call-to-arms. The answers are no longer blowin' in the
wind. You see, the 'friend' of their enemy happens to be human liberty
in Iraq (and elsewhere). The Iraqis know it and are grateful for it,
but the Democrats, Obama, dailyKos, et al, will have none of it."
Seems I nailed it.
