It's been really great news to all Democracy loving persons, that the Honduran Supreme Court recognized President Manuel Zelaya's illegal attempt to change the National Constitution, and thus enable himself to remain as president indefinitely. The Supreme Court acted in a timely fashion and ordered the armed forces to uphold the Constitution and temporarily remove President Zelaya while constitutional law and order could be reestablished in the country. Zelaya was put on a plane and sent off to political asylum in Costa Rica, while Hondurans can untangle the mess that Zelaya attempted to create.
Not surprisingly, the first to condemn the Honduran action was Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and his lap dog, Daniel Ortega. Hugo Chavez even offered direct intervention in support of Zelaya. The Honduran action should be a timely wake-up call to all would be leftist dictators who use democratic rhetoric to confuse the populace, gain power, and then attempt to change the Constitution so they can remain in power indefinitely, as in the Castro brothers in the languishing Republic of Cuba.
Some nations build walls to keep people out, while others build walls to keep their people in, and about the only other thing to be said about these demagogic quasi socialist regimes is that they will never have either illegal immigration or obesity issues to be concerned with.
