Honduras: Undo The Coup

If the ousted president abused his power and was going against their constitution, then the military had every right to arrest him as a traitor. If the same thing happened here, the military would be justified in doing so.

Constitution's of nations are meant to be adhered to by the government and when that government should bypass said document, it is the right of the people to take matters into their own hands. After all, the power rests with the people anyway. Those who are elected are just stewards and servants. Who are they to grant themselves more power than what is written in their Constitution that the people have not granted them?

And then you have other nations, this included, calling for the reinstating of the deposed president. What give them the right to do so? Obama needs to tread lightly on this subject. Our military has taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Our reps in DC are treading on very thin ground and Obama is leading the way.

Stop your asinine gum flapping. In your analogy GW the Moron Bush should have been overthrown for going against the constitution for lying and killing over 4,500 Troops.

Then Congress should have impeached him if he overstepped his bounds. However, I would put Congress and the rest of the elected officials on the traitor list.
