  • Even if it was legal (which its not, because it violates their constitution) the idea of change term length to such a large extent is inflammatory, and your second point is simply inapplicable. Third if you have to be a negative, condescending, ass-hole to make your point then you may to question its validity.

  • yes it was a coup, and the fact that he controls the census bureaus and the media would have nothing to do with that number being high, now wouldn't it. Also the little fact that a very large amount of Venezuelans have fled the country to escape from his dictatorial regime or the street violence which is now all to common in Venezuela.

  • @dudemister111

    "Also the coup in Venezuela almost 15 years ago, or some time frame like that established a Socialist almost Communist state, which has caused a great deal of suffering to the people."

    a) it wasn't a coup.

    b) he has approval ratings of over 60%, more than any american president in history and no one claims them to be fake.

  • Also the coup in Venezuela almost 15 years ago, or some time frame like that established a Socialist almost Communist state, which has caused a great deal of suffering to the people. It is different and can not be used as an example of what is happening in Honduras because their coup went more conservative in response to their president trying to undermine their constitution. This is a completely different situation, that ties in closely.

  • I think were not giving enough importance between the difference of Latin American liberalism and U.S. liberalism. The president of Honduras was trying to increase the time a president could serve. This was deemed wrong, and thus the coup. There is a heavy notion in Honduras to go towards the way of Venezuela which is the last thing we want. The coup was violent only in response to the violent protests of the small minority of communists who protested. The U.S. should stay out of it.

  • dude sounds sooo freakin stoned. he's way too chill to be talkin politics.

  • Mr Weisbrot is a very, very, very, very thooouuughtfuuul maaan!
