Honduras Update Part 2
From: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99PJJQ05&show_article=1
The author of this article says “Honduras’ coup-installed leader has…”, but I say what coup-installed leader? The countries Supreme Court found the (former) Honduran President to be in violation of the law and the countries legislature voted to remove the President from power.
In the US, if the same would have happened to President Nixon, if he would not have resigned, the Congress would have passed articles of impeachment and the Senate would have ratified it and the President could walk out or be escorted out of office.
Would the world have called the new US President a “coup-installed leader” I think not.
This was a peaceful transfer of power, through the constitutional process of Honduras and should be held up as a gold standard for the region and for the world. The UN, EU and US should all be tripping over each other to offer assistance so the rest of the world can see, it is ok to stand up and remove a head of state that is operating against the countries constitution.
However, what is being taught now is, if your country’s head of state (President or other) is preparing to grab all of the power and kick the constitution to the curb you better not do anything but let them take over and be tyrannical. Much the way that Adolf Hitler became powerful, through changing the laws while most everyone stood by and watched, but did not say a word.
What a great time our world could have had between 1939 and 1945 if the Germans would have held to their own law and removed Adolf Hitler, instead of bending, changing and replacing the law for him to rule supremely.
The people, military, congress and courts of Honduras, you are all to be commended and lifted up as a shinning example for others, including the US to follow. Thank you.
