Honduran Liberty Preserved

The Obama Administration and their socialist allies in Central America attempted regime change yesterday when Manuel Zelaya, the ousted president of Honduras, boarded a Venezuelan plane in Washington and tried to land in his former country.

Thankfully, the interim government prevented Zelaya’s return and managed to protect their nation’s constitution for one more day from the designs of Latin autocrats and their Washington sycophants.

But as proud as I am of the actions taken by the Honduran military, I am daily filled with shame by the actions of Obama, a man I voted for. To allow a Venezuelan plane to take off from Washington and travel to Honduras to effect regime change is despicable.

Obama has consistently made himself and now our capital a tool of Chavez’s dictatorial foreign policy. The man who did nothing to topple the theocratic totalitarian government in Tehran is now doing his best to thwart the liberty of 7.5 million Hondurans.

Obama’s foreign policy and his specific handling of the Honduran crisis constitutes a radical departure from the founding ethos of this nation that America must serve as a beacon of liberty to the rest of the world.
