		<description>So what else is news.  Sen Jim DeMint of South Carolina is a good example of stupid remarks coming from the republicans.  Is he advocating a military coup to overthrow the Obama duly elected presidency?  It seems that way, doesn&#039;t it?

First, the Governor of South Carolina abandons his post, his Christian morals, his family and high tails it to Argentina to be with his &quot;the love of his life&quot;  and now one of his team members in government advocates military takeovers in Latin America.  President Obama better be careful.  He just might find himself be placed under house arrest by the military, supported by the Supreme Court Justices.  Far fetch?  With thing the way they are now the republicans, I wouldn&#039;t doubt it.

My advice to South Carolina?  Get rid of all your bible schools and replace them with good old fashion American public ones.  You sure don&#039;t need any more dumb ass ignorant hillbillies representating your already backward state.</description>

		<description>This country, in order to survive as a free democratic republic, has one major task: erase either completely or reduce to the equivalent of an annoying pimple the Republican party along with all those who stand with it in disgustingly nonsensical and vitriolic stupor.

Can someone name one positive Republican accomplishment in the last 100 years?  Maybe when Eisenhower managed to flush and effectively banish McCarthy back into the whiskey bottle, but that was one Republican ridding us of another Republican.  Teddy Roosevelt brought more to the table than most, but even he basically read the handwriting on the wall, bailed out, and formed his own Bull Moose Party. 

Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush-I, Bush-II -- who have I missed, and again, can anyone name a single and significantly uplifting accomplishment by anyone on that list?

DeMent(ia) thinks the Honduran coup was a good thing.  I remember back in the Nixon years when he and Kissinger masterminded (and assigned the CIA the task of) overthrowing the democratically elected Salvador Allende in Chile (a &quot;leftist&quot;) and installing in his place the truly demented (DeMented?) fascist Augusto Pinochet (a product, I believe I&#039;ve read, of The American School, or whatever it&#039;s currently known as).  Pinochet himself was responsible for the tyranny which resulted in untold numbers of murdered innocents and the imposition of years of horror on the Chilean people.  But that was, don&#039;t you know, a &#039;good thing&#039; because Allende was a leftist. Can&#039;t have that, points of view other than corporate statism (fascism is another word for it) can&#039;t be allowed to take root.  Not even here in the US.  ESPECIALLY not here in the US.

As I noted above, we must rid ourselves of &#039;that&#039; philosophy before it&#039;s too late.  We&#039;ve made some progress in the last two election cycles but are always in danger of backsliding once again into the black hole of mass ignorance as personified -- demanded -- by the GOP.</description>

		<description>I still chuckle when thinking about when Rick Sanchez of CNN asked Jim Demint, &quot;What the hell are you talking about?&quot; a couple of months or so ago.  I saw the clip on the Daily Show.  Speaking of which, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are on vacation this week.  I miss my 4 day a week political comedy.</description>

		<description>So Pus Phlegmball wants a revolution in America.  He&#039;s too dumb to realize that we had such a revolution in the fall of 2008 when the Democrats took all the reins as provided by the electorate.  I suppose that this revolution will be led by a saber wielding Pus charging into the fray, his Oxycontin tablets at the ready.  As the bugle calls for the charge, Pus will be run down from behind by his own troops and left to rot on the battlefield by his zealots as they scurry to find a new leader in Sarah Paleface.

Ye gods!</description>

Tim BSculik babbles:
Adolph Hitler was elected as well...

So were Reagan, and Bush Jr. (in 2004). And all three were disastrous in their own unique ways. 

I&#039;m sorry... what was your point again?

I know this is well-known by now,but when has he made a point?
He&#039;s so smug, I&#039;m starting to think he&#039;s a reincarnation of b-cup.
Good job tearing him up though, folks.

		<description>Senator DeMint can go Cheney himself. He insults the whole great State of Minnesota!

It&#039;s nice to know when Americans want health care reform, our economy is crumbling, unemployment is rising, we are still stuck in two failed wars, more Americans are losing their homes and asshats like Demint are more concerned about poor widdle Norm Coleman losing his senate seat legitimately to Al Franken.

&lt;strong&gt;Senator Demint you are a DISGRACE to the Senate, to your state and to this country!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>It doesn&#039;t matter whether Honduras suffered a coup or not. The fact is that the election of Al Franken is the result of, arguably, the most carefully scrutinized Senatorial election in U.S. history.

Alas. The Reichwing slime machine is pulling no punches trying to invalidate the lawful election of a U.S. Senator.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether Honduras suffered a coup or not. The fact is that the election of Al Franken is the result of, arguably, the most carefully scrutinized Senatorial election in U.S. history.</p>
<p>Alas. The Reichwing slime machine is pulling no punches trying to invalidate the lawful election of a U.S. Senator.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5716708', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Daddy-O Says:
Then again...how long to you let a President PRETEND he&#039;s still President, after he&#039;s either 1) been legally removed from office or 2) committed unConstitutional acts that demand his removal?

Somewhere around 7 years? I don&#039;t know much about current Central American politics. I do know that in the past we&#039;ve supported a lot of facist dictators out of fear of communism. We&#039;ve yet to address the root causes of popular support for communism in this hemisphere. That philosophy appeals to the masses who have been enslaved, impoverished, dispossessed, and ill-used by their governments. Serfdom and the ascendency of the Russian land-owner classes led to their revolution. I cherish our constitution, but wonder how long our corporate elite thinks they can enslave us before we grab our pitchforks.</description>

Luis Chapulin M

Yeah I just read relevant parts of it tonight and there seems to be conflicting things there so that most likely both sides can claim to be acting within its framework. Its pretty complicated then again I am also not a lawyer.

This is a fairly complex situation. Other nations are only chiming in one one side or another (mostly against the coup) for one reason only: Their domestic politics. What the coup SOUNDS like via the news reports. 

But it&#039;s shades of gray versus black and white, and nobody looks completely in the right. But I have to conclude that, according to Luis and his translation of the Constitution and other interesting thoughts, the President of Honduras should have been removed from office, but NOT by the military. 

Then again...how long to you let a President PRETEND he&#039;s still President, after he&#039;s either 1) been legally removed from office or 2) committed unConstitutional acts that demand his removal? Coups are ugly, but as far as I&#039;ve been able to see, this situation justified it.</description>

Which paper would that be timmy? Give us some names and facts please.

&lt;i&gt;Daddy-O&lt;/i&gt; sed:

&lt;i&gt;ha ha&lt;/i&gt;

Timmeh? Giving names, facts, links, etc, to support his statements? Really? That&#039;s what you expect?

&lt;i&gt;ha ha&lt;/i&gt;

Timmy is a troll. He is having a FINE time rattling our cages. 227+ posts, mostly in response to the ancient argument about Election 2000? He hit the jackpot today. 

Thank you, Luis Chapalin, for every one of your posts herein, and every person who intelligently examined the Honduras coup. You can tell the decent, honest people in here just by reading their posts, every time.</description>
