Congeries of cross connected concepts
It seems the Obama Administration, along with its allies Venezuelan President Chavez and Nicaraguan President Ortega, have managed to get former President of Honduras Zelaya back in office. One might also note that Ortega is busy doing the same thing Zelaya tried but with less pushback and certainly no even mild disagreement from the Obama Administration. Let’s watch for all those who objected to the Honduran government “illegal acts” rise up with criticsm of Ortega’s putsch in progress.
Given this contrast, and President Obama’s sucking up to China, Russia, and Iran, support for global blasphemy laws, at what point may we conclude that Obama isn’t indifferent to liberal democracy, but actively opposes it?
P.S. Senator John Kerry, desperate to not be the last to get in on the opposition, pushed to have the Congressional Law Library to withdraw its determination that Zelaya’s removal was legal because leaving that out there tends to let slip the mask.
P.P.S. Then there is the Democratic Party in New Jersey pre-emptively setting up for encouraging voter fraud (via Instapundit and Ace of Spaces).

Utterly disgraceful. The USA has forced Honduras to ignore its own constitution and allow a man who was attempting to subvert that same constitution back into office. Which I suppose is consistent—The US government doesn’t care one whit about the rule of law in Honduras.
The men who had Chavez briefly under their control several years ago have much to answer for. When you draw your sword against the king, you throw away the scabbard. Their failure to do so, their failure of will, has had and will continue to have the most serious of consequences for their country, the hemisphere, and the world.
