A Quick Thought About our Dear Leader
In the last couple of weeks we've seen two major events on the international scene, and so far President Obama is 0 for 2 on supporting freedom. Instead, both times he has come out in support of dictators.
With the Iranian Election, the Ayatollah sanctioned election was obviously and demonstrably rigged in favor of the incumbent anti-freedom, anti-western president Ahmadinejad and as such resulted in an uprising of freedom loving Iranians who wanted their candidate, Mousavi to have a fair shot at things. In fact, because the election was such a farce it actually pushed the Iranian people to question their entire form of government with a religious figurehead in control of the entire country. The resulting protests and demonstrations were awe inspiring if you happened to follow them on Twitter and Youtube. Obviously, the media didn't do much to cover them and the Iranian Government tried to squash all coverage.
Sadly, now it appears that the resistance has been crushed, with snipers shooting at random protesters, dissidents being hung in the streets, and the international community turning a blind eye to it all, it appears that the Ayatollah and his puppet Ahmadinejad are safe and sound. President Obama feels as though this is the correct outcome as he stated "we should let the Iranians sort this out" and made it a point that we should not interject our outside opinions on the affairs of a sovereign nation.
Next, we saw a situation develop in Honduras where the President of that country tried to sign an order into law that would in effect give him dictatorial powers overriding his nation's constitution and due process. The Hondurans obviously weren't going to put up with this so their military took control of the nation and the supreme court overturned the President's action and kicked him out of office. Ask yourself, wouldn't you hope that our military and supreme court would do the same? I know I would.
What did President Obama have to say? He condemned the actions of the Honduran military and said that "governments should never interfere in the democratic process" (the president was elected, so it was wrong to throw him out of office.) Well excuse me dear leader Obama, but if you try to make yourself a dictator, you can bet your ass that you're going to be thrown out of office. If our military and supreme court won't do it, there are plenty of us Americans clinging to our guns and our religion that will do it instead!

I am no fan of obama but what should he do? Invade Iran? The U.S. should back away from militarism that is breaking the back bone of this country
