Left wing disinformation site. There was no military coup in Honduras as described. Of course, when have facts stopped the left from their fantasies? As for the Chavez coup, it was one of Bush's biggest mistakes to refuse to back it and instead press for Chavez to be returned to power. This was the State Department at its finest, licking the boots of marxist thugs to win approval from latin socialists in disregard to our own interests and the intersts of democracy in latin america.
When has the right stopped at killing farmers for their natural resources. Don't even pretend that "Democracy" is why America enters into Latin American affairs.
When have marxists stopped killing farmers and anyone else who gets in their way? Do you honestly think Castro, chavez and their followers like that moron Morales give a crap about the "people?" It is all about power. Taking, holding and exercising it. Always has been, always will be.
Laughable. Define "everyone" please. Were they Zelaya supporters, farmers, the homeless, Hugo Chavez himself? I'm sure if I walked out on the street and asked "everyone" I could find, I could make a case that muslims had tails and were actually the devil reincarnated with no penis'. Some people will really believe anything. August 07, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- I recently visited Central America. Everyone I talked with there was convinced that the military coup that had overthrown the democratically-elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, had been engineered by two US companies, with CIA support. And that the US and its new president were not standing up for democracy.
Power? Unexamined slogans work on Limbaugh lemmings not on me. To explore Power beyond propogandist slogans you have to ask the question, Power to what ends? I"ll do you one better at getting at the truth ...its about natural resources and unfettered access to them and I"ll bet you know it. The much promulgated ends we will go to to maintain "the American way of life" belies what the School of the Americas mission is. All the world is in the perpetual throws of a shoving match for haggling over resources and their cost. Promising Democracy is just our sheeps clothing, our Trojan Horse. What else do you think the CIA does anyway?
Ripkin doesn't smoke cigars but he was really ...punctual. Wonder if Latin America could have created their own MLB if all the talent hadn't been bribed to come over here; same for doctors and other professionals. Another motivation to subvert countries and whats held them back from developing.
