DeMint Heads to Honduras Anyway

Published by Bane Windlow at 3:41 pm under Jim DeMint, South Carolina, US Senate

Good for him.

Six House members on Friday sent a letter to the president of the Honduran Congress warning that the Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and his travel delegation to Honduras do not represent the views of the White House or Congress, but are mere members of the “minority party.”

“We understand that you received visitors from our Congress who represent the minority party, the Republican Party, who have expressed views that differ markedly from those of President Obama’s administration and the Democratic Majority in the U.S. Congress,” they wrote.

Yes, Obama apparently hates the constitutional process.  Zelaya was legally and constitutionally removed from office for abusing his power.  The Honduran Parliament voted unanimously to remove him and the nation’s supreme court upheld it.  Yet, the Obama administration is outraged, outraged by the removal of a man who defiled the nation’s constitutional laws in an attempt to install himself as a lifetime dictator.  Why would Obama be upset about that?  It really makes you wonder.  He never criticizes Hugo Chavez or Raoul Castro, two soviet style thugs, but his knees practically give out on him when one of those bad boys gets overthrown.  You’d think he’d be supportive of the newly installed government that has a focus on protecting democracy.
