Rev is confused about the Zelaya thing, because he knows Zelaya is a leftist, like the Reverend is. So, when a leftist does something so obviously wrong and dictatorial as Zelaya did, the Rev professes ignorance. That's all it is. Rev really wants to support Zelaya. He just hasn't come up with a rationale yet.

We should be so lucky to have Rev not comment on things he knows nothing about.

Rest assured, if Palin were convicted of any of those ethic violations, he'd have a post up in 5 minutes.

Rev,
"cut taxes" is a policy, not an argument.

But in any case, "cut taxes" is a lot better than the Dem policy of "raise taxes." It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Besides, my #1 policy change would be to reduce government spending.

No comment on the Honduras thing…I don't have enough information.

But on the liberal arguments thing….

At last liberals have more argument cards to play. Conservatives have only one. The answer to all questions…all questions, is "Cut taxes."

That's the conservative answer to all questions…and when there are no questions to be answered, then the conversation is always about who to kill next. So there's that.

Rev and walter… you're both against the reinstatment of Zelaya, right? That doesn't mean we as a country have to get involved, but are you fundamentally against his reinstatment?

An interesting question. One wonders why Obama thought he could say "military coup" and everyone would just buy his version of events whole hog. It seems to me our constitutional lawyer President was playing the race/banana republic card.

Just put the brakes on the racist filth and we'll get along fine, walt.

larry, this is what YOU said……"I can't believe you'd be calling anyone a racist after the filth you wrote about Mexicans last week, walter."

you got no right to be calling anybody else creepy

I thought I'd try playing the card too, walter. Your use of it inspired me.

By the by, the way you refer to all hispanics as "Mexicans" is your show (in addition to the hateful filth of course).

No one will forget.

I feel like arguing with a liberal could be circumvented by just recording "yeah, but what about Bush and Cheney?" into a Yak-Bak

Well King, it does take the focus off our tyrant-backing President by implementing liberal argument #4–Bush is evil.

Right. Because that's soooo…….meaningless.

Rev is using liberal argument #3 – change the subject.

By: The Reverend

The Reverend — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:44:03 +0000

Yeah, damn right, just like we ran Bush and Cheney out of office for multiple war crimes and Constitutional violations.

Other countries aren't exceptional like America.

It would be like Obama pushing for lifting presidential term limits, having it die in Congress then trying to hold a national referendum on the matter. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling that such a referendum is illegal, Obama has his buddies from ACORN distribute and collect ballots then count the vote, with the results becoming law by executive order.

I would hope we'd run him out on a rail, too.

Get real, people. Zelaya did not try to amend the constitution legally, he just tried to get a simple ballot to allow him to stay on as president – no legal constitutional amendment. It was Zelaya who attempted a coup.

The Congress voted almost unanimously to impeach him. The speaker of the house ( from his same party) was elected to take over as acting president. Democracy is very much in rule in Honduras.

A constitution that criminalizes attempts to amend it is strange, but just off the top of my head I'd say it was to prevent people from doing what Zelaya tried to do. I would of course bow to superior knowledge of what their constitution actually says.

If I were a betting man I'd bet that there will be an attempt to force Z back into office, with Communists behind it and Ob behind them.

angryc,
Thanks for the kind words. I try.

As for keeping my equilibrium, I don't always succeed at that, but if I always unloaded on the commenters who were obviously trying to spin (you know the ones I mean), it would probably be counterproductive.

frank says, "What is interesting to me is a Constitution which makes any attempts at its reform illegal, with immediate removal from office being mandated."

I guess the Hondurans, who have witnessed dictator after dictator rule in Central and South America, felt compelled to prevent a reoccurence in their country. My reading of the Honduran Constitution is that the President may not violate the term limits provision, or he will be removed. I don't know if the Honduran Constitution would prevent their Congress from changing the term limits provision or not. Other parts of their Constitution have been amended. I only know that President Zelaya had no right. He was acting like a dictator.

What would you think if our President tried to hold an illegal vote to repeal term limits in the USA, against the wishes of Congress and in violation of the Supreme Court ? We'd remove that President from office too.

Actually Fred, it was you who brought Bush into the conversation with your first post.

And Obama is siding with the marxist leaders (Castro, Chavez, Ortega). But so are the UN and the OAS. He has lots of company.
