Zelaya has returned to Honduras

Neo-Neocon links to Fausta.

Reynolds links to La Gringa, on the spot in La Ceiba.

Obama's continuing support of Zelaya shows, among other things, his contempt for the law. ("You, a law professor!" Lecturer, actually.) He learned the rules in order to be able to game the system.

Update: More, from Jennifer Rubin, who quotes the WSJ.

Honduras is heating up fast

I'm glad that Neo-Neocon is keeping up with this. I can just send you over to her place.

Babalu has posts worth reading as well. Don't miss this one, about Zelaya's computers.

If President Obama had made a statement supporting the rule of law in Honduras, it would not have helped Zelaya. Chavez is Zelaya's ally. So the President of the US is supporting an ally of Chavez, and making it more likely that there will be civil war in Honduras. If it comes about, it will be something that looks a little like a civil war, but is actually a war of conquest by the hemispheric Socialist/Communist coalition. Might be more than that, considering how cozy Chavez is with Ahmadinejad. The Brits used to call international relations "The Great Game." Obama appears to be surrendering a lot of pieces.

Althouse linked to a Limbaugh transcript today. Search [ctrl-F] for "the CIA" and read along till you get to the bit about chaos.

What happened in Honduras

Told by a Honduran. "Octavio Sánchez, a lawyer, is a former presidential adviser (2002-05) and minister of culture (2005-06) of the Republic of Honduras." In the Christian Science Monitor:

Sometimes, the whole world prefers a lie to the truth. The White House, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and much of the media have condemned the ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya this past weekend as a coup d'état.

That is nonsense.

In fact, what happened here is nothing short of the triumph of the rule of law.

The OAS, in suspending Honduras, shows that it is another dictators' club. The Obama administration, in supporting Zelaya, shows that it does not support the rule of law. Now Zelaya is making threats and rallying support.

And then there's this, from Neo-neocon:

End22: is this why Obama supports Zelaya?

This is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen online—a movement to repeal the 22nd amendment. You know, the one that limits a president to two terms.

Think it can’t happen here? Think again. These people set up this group on Obama’s inauguration day. I’m fairly certain it’s a very small movement now. But this can grow, depending on how much money they get to spread their message. It’s a move for Zelaya-style “democracy” in this country.

Gerard Van der Leun, commenting on that thread, notes that Barack3rdterm dot com, net and org also point to end22 dot com. I think the favicon of a squared-off blue O followed by an exclamation point is evidence that it's not a general opposition to term limits that fuels these people.

And an update: Why Honduras matters.

Thanks to Althouse commenter elHombre for the Sánchez article.

Obama's Chavismo revealed by reaction to events in Honduras

Read Neo-neocon on this. Compare with Obama's unwillingness to speak for freedom in Iran.

And an editorial there.
