Barack Obama Supports Would-be Banana Republic Thug Dicator

The president of Honduras was arrested.

Obama came out in support of him. Apparently he had been arrested by the military by court order, and then got removed from office.

"Even as it stands, the Home Guard could only exist in a country where men feel themselves free. The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."

"Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."

"Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence."
-Sir Robert Peel

Judging by the article, the court was in the right, but I feel as though Obama is going to try and do something foolish here, like putting the guy back in power.

Ok, I'll bite - what foolish things has Obama done?

Blowing billions of dollars to try and save failing businesses instead of simply letting the market run its course stands out to me.

Or seen from another perspective investing billions of dollars into ensuring the jobs of many Americans, not just in the companies that the government is supporting but in a whole range of industries and communities which only exist because of those companies?

What is more important - sticking to your free market principles or concern for the welfare of real people?

Does the fact you disagree with a policy render it "foolish"?

I would rather see a company survive or fail on its own merits than have to watch a government step in because they can't come up with a good business plan on their own. The banks shouldn't have been bailed out at all, and now the taxpayers are on the hook for almost $1.5 trillion for those alone. If they had let things happen, yes, we would have been a lot worse off now, but the system would be cleared of all the garbage clogging it. Now we get to sit and watch the inevitable happen anyway, just a few years later.

As for the communities, Detroit should have diversified their industries earlier on. Sticking with just one industry as your region's lifeblood is sentencing that region to death when the industry eventually leaves/fails. They have been able to attract some films there, but it's pretty much too little, too late at this point. Unemployment is skyrocketing, their city and state government is crooked beyond repair, and I don't even have to mention the lack of aesthetic appeal the city possesses. The entire city could benefit from a rampaging bulldozer pushing everything down in its path, but let's waste billions of dollars (thus far) propping up a failed company just so the communities don't wind up burned-out, riot-gutted wastelands. I left the area a few years ago and the only two things I regret are that I didn't do it sooner, and that I didn't bring my family with me so they could retire here in Florida.

Yep, only someone with a severe disconnect from reality can honestly think it's a good plan to solve a debt problem by going more into debt. And creating money out of thin air.


Then of course, in relation to the OP, he thinks its an illegal coup to have a legally elected congress and legal court system remove a crooked politician.

It never ceases to amaze me how pointing out the errors of givernment and how they cannot solve the problems of the world equals a lack of caring for people.

Hmmm, Orwell was a Socialist while Goldwater was a hardline conservative

So did we already establish why Zelaya is a "would-be thug dictator" or is this merely the usual namecalling of the far right?
