Before a Senate Committee 1987
A true American Hero and Patriot
I've carried this image in my briefcase now for over 20 years to remind me
what patriotism means.
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Last Saturday, Honduran soldiers marched into the presidential palace, bundled up President Manuel Zelaya and put him on a plane for Costa Rica.

We really like gun owners.
The ouster had been ordered by the Supreme Court and approved by the Congress, as Zelaya was attempting an illegal referendum to change the Honduran constitution so he could run for another term.
Will someone please explain why this bloodless transfer of power to the civilian legislator first in line for the presidency, in a sovereign nation, is any business of the United Nations, the Organization of American States, Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers or Barack Obama? For all have denounced the "coup" and demanded Zelaya's immediate return.
The hypocrisy here is astounding.
Chavez was imprisoned for his bloody coup attempt in Venezuela in 1992. And to have Fidel Castro's dictatorship of half a century denouncing a glitch in the democratic process of a Western Hemisphere republic is beyond parody.
What percentage of the 200 member nations of that septic tank of anti-Americanism, the United Nations, are democracies? How many leaders of its member states came to power through free and fair elections?
Pat definitely has this one right and he remembers the days of Reagan and Ollie North, both great Americans.

I love Ollie North, he needs to set Obama straight. I'm sure Obama would not listen though. I haven't seen Ollie on Fox lately and I think the War Stories have been re-runs lately, hope all is well with him.
