I was just gonna say…
..that we havent heard much from our Republican leaders on Honduras.
“Americans should support the Honduran people and their legitimate leaders in their brave and heroic stand for freedom and the rule of law.”
The Statement:
"The people of Honduras have struggled too long to have their hard-won democracy stolen from them by a Chavez-style dictator. The Honduran Congress, the Honduran Supreme Court, and the Honduran military have acted in accordance to the Honduran constitution and the rule of law.
“For weeks leading to his arrest, Zelaya flouted the constitutional authority of the Honduran Congress and Supreme Court, and claimed for himself extra-constitutional control of his nation’s military and political institutions. Every institution from the Electoral Tribunal to the Supreme Court ruled that his actions were unjustified and illegal. Zelaya’s open defiance of democratic norms has set Honduras on a path toward violence, instability, and tyranny.
“I am hopeful that as President Obama grows in office, he will eventually turn away from despots like Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, and Zelaya, and give the United States’ full-throated support to the people of any country who are fighting for the same values we cherish and defend in America. The people fighting for freedom around the world, in Iran and Honduras, should never have to wonder which side America will choose between freedom and tyranny.
“President Obama’s call for the reinstatement of Zelaya is a slap in the face to the people of Honduras. And the resolution written by the Organization of American States tramples over the hopes and dreams of a free and democratic people.
“The rule of law is working in Honduras. President Obama should not undermine the democratic institutions that guarantee freedom by forcing an illegitimate President back into power.
“This is not an ideal transition, but Hondurans are adhering to their constitution. The United States should support the Honduran people and their legitimate leaders in their brave and heroic stand for freedom and the rule of law.”
Comrade Obama will have none of this dissent.
If Demint isn't careful he'll find his rations cut in half.
Obama's Proletariat bows to no man *

What the hell is that avatar?! Is that Sean Penn?
Hey George, it's supposed to be George Washington "The Real Revolutionary". The Face is Washington off of Mount Rushmore.
If it isn't that obvious, then I'm going to change it.
Mojito; nice try, but it's not obvious. I'd recommend against it.
The Face is Washington off of Mount Rushmore.
Too bad there's not enough space for George W to say Che, you putz!
The "Statement" very well said
Val,
If you haven't heard from our Republican leaders in Congress, it's because you probably haven't been listening to Spanish speaking radio. You'll never hear it from the MSM.
The first one to speak on this issue was Congresswoman Ileana Ross-Lehtinen. Senator Mel Martinez also made a very good and strong statment, as did both Diaz-Balart Congressmen.
In addition, Ileana Ross-Lehtinen, Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart, Connie Mack and other Republican members of Congress have sent a letter to President Obama.
The statement says it very clearly.
The Washington face looks like Spencer Tracy.
Would it work to put Humberto Fontova's face? or Biscet's? They are at least true brave fighters for freedom.
Mambi, I see your point. The avatars are so small that subtle parodies become difficult. It would probably be this way regardless of the face I use since the hair and beret are so associated with El Chancho. I'll have to find another one.
Honey, I see your point and agree, although I would also call George Washington a "brave fighter for freedom", am I to assume from your comment that you wouldn't?
Mr. Mo; you hit the nail on the head. The size takes away from the graphic, plus no matter who's face you put on there it will always appear to be the "Butcher of La Cabaña." Get those creative juices flowing, I'm sure you can come up with something better. Good luck.
Of course not, Mr. Mojito. My reference was to Che and I was merely asking if Fontova's or Biscet's faces would be more easily recognized than Washington's in the beret.
Ah I see Honey.
I went ahead and went for Obama with his arm around Karl Marx. We'll see if this one is more obvious.
