In a big blow to the collaborationist regime of Barack Hussein Obama and his ally Hugo Chavez, the people of Honduras went ahead with their elections. Both Obama and Chavez tried to prevent this by intimidating Hondurans into restoring their Radical Progressive Tyrant, Zelaya. Instead, the small Central American Nation stood up to Progressive pressure and went ahead with their elections anyway.
Unless something monumental happens in the Western Hemisphere in the next 31 days, the big regional story for 2009 will be how tiny Honduras managed to beat back the colonial aspirations of its most powerful neighbors and preserve its constitution.
Yesterday’s elections for president and Congress, held as scheduled and without incident, were the crowning achievement of that struggle.
National Party candidate Porfirio Lobo was the favorite to win in pre-election polls. Yet the name of the victor is almost beside the point. The completion of these elections is a national triumph in itself and a win for all people who yearn for liberty.
Read the rest.
Make no mistake about it, this was a massive blow to the Transnationalist Progressive Movement. Both Obama and Chavez have suffered a major defeat in their quest to establish another Progressive dictatorship. It has been a tough November for the Left. They lost the elections in Virginia and New Jersey. Their Islamo-Imperialist allies suffered a defeat at the hands of the Swiss Resistance, who have rejected their colonial symbols. Since 9/11/2001, the Progressive-Imperialist alliance has been on the march triumphantly. Now the tide is turning and as Saul Alinsky once said, “”Keep the pressure on”. We must keep exposing the agenda Progressive Collaborators and the Islamo-Imperialist without mercy.
Let us show support to the brave Honduran and Swiss people by buying their products and if possible, traveling to their nations! They have earned our respect in my opinion. For the first time in years, I feel optimistic about events!

Hey Obama…. Hint hint, you’re next to find the trash heap…
The Obama spanking never ends.
Morning
Good Morning Rodan, and everyone!
My step mother in law is from Honduras, love her! and so was my husband’s adopted little sister (she has passed on).
Thanks for keeping up on the topic! Thanks for keeping up on the Climategate stuff too-snork!
I haven’t been able to participate much since the holiday and wanted you all to know how much I/we appreciate this blog!! :0)
good mornin all…..a fresh thread for a new week. congrats on the elections in Honduras and CRU admits to dumping original data and the coffee is hot.
Doesn’t the left frown upon the US forcing an agenda on sovereign nations? Haven’t heard a peep all this time.
Honduras has to be unsettleing for Hugho & BHO.
Barry knows that he can suffer a revolution at the ballot box & Hugo just a plain old revolution.
How inspiring that Honduras and Switzerland are standing strong against evil. They see it, they smell it and they are pushing back. I love that Honduras is so NOT impressed with Zero, they just ignore him. LOL
And Switzerland is saying fck P.C. stupidity. They are watching Muslim treachery around the world and in their own country. I applaud them for putting pressure on these aggressive savages who shun the light of civilization and just bring darkness. Now is the time to go further and ban the building of new mosques altogether and stop immigration of these dangerous elements.
@ chickadee:
The minarets are towering & overbearin. To me they connote Islamic triumphalism.

It is so disgusting how Zero smiles at that pig faced slob. Unabashedly, like a school boy with his first crush on a girl. Or a kid on Christmas morning looking at a big nicely wrapped gift under the tree with his name on it. He is way to ga ga over that beast. Those photos are catching up to him and will help defeat him in 2012.

After reading some information about the importance of having a strong and caring father in one’s life to prevent all sorts of emotional and personality disorders, it would be interesting to know if in fact there is an apparent correlation between the left and right in that area.
Considering divorce became rampant beginning in the 70s, it makes sense that the world is how it is now.

From what I have noticed, a lot of people on the left do not support more troops to Afghanistan.

As close as John Nolte comes in this article even he doesnt get it, the MSM committed suicide long before they jumped on the President Bows-A –Lot bandwagon, it was just their jumping on that bandwagon that was what caught the majority of America’s attention to their suicide. The Rathergate incident was a telling sign, but most Americans bought the MSM narrative, that Dan Rather was the exception not the rule, when in fact Dan Rather’s treatment of the fake Bush memo was the MSM journalism rule, not the exception.
The MSM in America has been completely corrupt and untrustworthy since the 60’s and their virulent attacks of the Vietnam War.

Yeah, his about-face is a big deal around here, but that is only because we were all to a lesser or greater extent members of the LGF community. Sure, he threw us under the bus for something, but I don’t think it was a shadowy cabal of Leftist Islamofascists who showered him with cash to do so. Now, he may think that he’ll make more money on the side of the Left (ain’t that a hoot if it is his reason? Moving Left for Capitalist reasons would be like a man sucking dick for heterosexuality), but I don’t think he’s being paid right now. If he was, he wouldn’t be hawking his lame calendar the way he is…
@ doriangrey:
The sad part about this is the affect it has on the population. I talk to neighbors who are CLUELESS about the world casue they only get what the MSM tells them. The real facts are lost on them.

Obamacare To Hike State Taxes
While Obama has been at great pains to make a show of avoiding taxes on the middle class to pay for his health care changes, his proposed increase in Medicaid eligibility will have a huge impact on the 39 states whose income cutoffs for the program are below those required in the new federal legislation.
All states except for Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin (plus the District of Colombia) will have to raise their eligibility for Medicaid under the Senate health care bill. And they will have to pay for part of the cost. Under the House bill, with a higher Medicaid eligibility standard, Massachusetts and Vermont would also have to pay more.
The magnitude of the new Medicaid spending required by Obamacare is such as to transform the nature of state finances. A large part of the reason that some states, particularly in the South, have been able to avoid higher taxes is because they have chosen to keep down the Medicaid eligibility level.

I think libs reek of anger and resentment because they know they are cowards. When they take to the streets and protest, they are just trying to act up and prove they aren’t cowardly losers. Notice they never go after the enemy who would tear them limb from limb but against us, the ones who stand between them and the beasts of the world.

Completely ignore the fact that “global average temp” hasn’t gone up. Yet continue to spew the theory of Global Warming caused by CO2 going “from 284 parts per million (ppm) to 388 ppm—a remarkable jump to the highest levels seen in millions of years.” So WTF what! Remarkable PPM? Yum no. (And they bank on regular folks not realizing how small that “jump” is in numbers as well) Fact is C02 has been at much higher levels then that, double that 388 ppm (millions of years is a blip of nothing in geologic time!) and the globe still went into a ice age (there is no evidence in the geologic record that C02 does anything of the sort to the overall temps! Ice core records tell us rise in atmospheric C02 follows rise in temps!)

The problem is that nowadays to win the Presidency you have to be TV star “quality”, and those qualities as an actor in no way translate into the qualities needed to be a good President. It’s like choosing your doctor based on his golf game. He may be damn good at it, but it has nothing to do with what you need him to do. Obama won on star power, and he is abyssmal. It may very well take the country a century to recover from him, what with the exploding deficit and crumbling military credibility overseas. That’s if everything keeps on like it is right now. If Iran gets nukes, Obama may not ever be recovered from.

@ Morgan:
Mitt Romney knows nothing about job creation. When he ran Bain Capital, he would takeover companies, outsource the work to China or another location and then sell the company. That is not job creation, It’s Vulture Corporatism.
Romney would make sure unemployment is at 20%. He knows nothing about job creation. Look up his record and you’ll see.
@ Kitteh:
You don’t, not ever. That is why the Donks want to get anything that they can. Then periodically you have to reform the reform because it is falling apart (like, say, Social Security). You eat the elephant a bite at a time. In some ways socialists are more dangerous than Communists. Communists believe in violent revolution, but when they play that game you can whack them and it is just par for the course. Socialists are more patient, work slowly through the institutions of a free society, and slowly take away the freedom with their socialist agenda. As tempting as it might be, you can’t just shoot them. That gives them an advantage.

Let’s see what happens. I just don’t want the Big Government Compassionate Conservative spread Democracy around the world crap.
@ Rodan:
I’m not sure if Mitt Romney’s history at Bain could be described as “vulture corporatism”. There are several companies which benefited from Bain’s investments, like Staples and Steel Dynamics here in Indiana. The results there have been company growth and more jobs.
The term may be used to describe some of their actions, but not all. Also, your points haven’t led me to think Romney could be as bad (if not worse) than Timothy Geithner. Romney’s leadership in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City tells me that if he can make the management of the Olympics a financial success, why can’t he do a better job running the Treasury?
@ Morgan:
Very true, no body can be worse than that clown. Plus I believe Romney has never missed paying taxes.
Valid points. Ok you convince me, have him at Treasury or even nominate him as Federal Reserve Chairman.
