On December 1st, 2009 the people of Honduras scored a victory for themselves by showing
with their votes they did not want former president Manuel Zelaya to be able to run over
their constitution. More importantly they struck a huge blow to ugly-elitism world-wide.
Politicians around the world have thought too much of themselves for centuries and in
2009 we saw a humble but proud little nation defy them and win. They did this by
electing Porfino Lobo president with 55% of the vote.
Even as the United States state department was backing away from its previous
anti-Honduran-constitution stance, elements of the world press were still referring to
Zalaya's ouster as a military coup
(http://www.democracynow.org/2009/12/1/hondurans_divided_after_coup_backer_wins ). This in spite of his ouster being ordered by both the Supreme Court and congress.
The world's politicians and their sycophants in the press were still feeling the sting.
A politician with apparent good intentions defied his nation's legislature, courts, and
constitution and ended up standing in his pajamas on the tarmac of a Costa Rican
airfield, his country moving on without him.
The inevitable evolution of society towards a socialist collectivism had not just been defied by the tiny nation of Honduras, it's proponents had been humiliated. Zalaya in ankle chains in his pajamas had become the new symbol to replace the tared and feathered tax collectors in pre-revolution Massachusetts.
International socialism was potently portrayed as very possibly being on the wrong side of
history just as absolute monarchy had been a few centuries earlier.
So let those who share our values, who respect individual dignity and see the value of the rule of law, never forget that day.
Long live liberty!
