The Obama Administration continues its reckless policy of supporting a deposed leftist leader with dictatorial visions this evening, suspending military relations with Honduras after the government there removed Manuel Zelaya from power by court order.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration said Wednesday it has suspended joint military operations with Honduras to protest a coup that forced President Manuel Zelaya into exile. The U.S. withheld stronger action in hopes of negotiating a peaceful return of the country’s elected leader.

Let’s review the type of man that the Obama Administration seeks to return to power in Honduras, shall we?

Manuel Zelaya is a crony of Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez, has a radical far-left agenda, and has been accused of permitting the flow of tons of cocaine into his nation illegally. He attempted to hold a referendum removing the term limit for his presidency in the first step towards a Chavez-like scenario which permits a presidency for life. The Supreme Court ruled it illegal, but he pushed forward with it anyway, ordering the military to hand out the ballots. When the armed forces refused to be complicit in the crime, he replaced their chief.

Zelaya was moving forward with an illegal referendum to keep himself in power, ignored his nation’s laws, and wiped his posterior with the Honduran constitution. The Supreme Court ordered him removed from power, the military peacefully carried out the order, and he was replaced with the next civilian constitutionally in line for the presidency.

And yet here President Obama is demanding the return of Zelaya to power, apparently so that he can continue trampling on the constitution, ignoring the system of laws, and holding an illegal referendum. All while the president claims to be standing up for democratic values. Fantastic.
