Gateway Pundit reports that Sen. DeMint went to Honduras and discovered that our ambassador is the only person who thinks there was a 'coup':
In a day packed with meetings, we met only one person in Honduras who opposed Mr. Zelaya's ouster, who wishes his return, and who mystifyingly rejects the legitimacy of the November elections: U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens...

The Hondurans I met agree. All everyone seemed to want was a chance to make their case, or at least an independent review of the facts.
I still want to know who's paying to keep the lights on at the Honduran embassy in DC. Shouldn't those shills for Zelaya diplomats be recalled?

Ian Vasquez at CATO wonders: What Does the State Department Not Want Us to Know about Honduras? "...a legal analysis at the State Department prepared by its top lawyer that apparently has informed Washington’s policy but that has not been made public..."

Gateway Pundit also reported that Honduran President Micheletti wants Zelaya arrested if he leaves his spider hole the Brazilian Embassy:
the Hondurans are fighting back against Obama's misguided foreign policy. They announced that they will arrest the corrupt Zelaya if he tries to set foot on Honduran soil. The leftist thug Zelaya is currently hiding out in the Brazilian Embassy in Honduras.

Erstwhile Honduran President Zelaya and UN work to undermine November elections in Honduras:
Micheletti said he was prepared to meet with Zelaya and a delegation from the Organization of American States, but only to discuss one topic: November elections.

On Wednesday, the U.N. cut off all technical aid that would have supported and given credibility to that presidential race. Conditions do not exist for credible elections, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said.

Honduran Embassy in DC Remains Loyal to Zelaya

Destroyed Police Vehicle

The Honduran Embassy is still carrying a torch for Zelaya:
September 22, 2009 – The Embassy of Honduras in Washington DC strongly condemns the use of violence and intimidation by military and police forces controlled by the illegitimate government of Micheletti against the people of Honduras and calls for the immediate restoration of peace in Tegucigalpa. According to reports from the ground, peaceful demonstrators supporting the return of the constitutional president of Honduras are being attacked and beaten and an overall atmosphere of insecurity is now being imposed around the Embassy of Brazil where President Manuel Zelaya is stationed.
La Gringa's got some pictures of those peaceful, masked, pitchfork-wielding demonstrators and much more on the violence and who's behind it. I just want to know who's paying to keep the lights on in Zelaya's Tilden St propaganda office.

Tea Partiers Stand with Hondurans for a Pro-Democracy Rally in St Louis

GatewayPundit called for Americans to respect Honduran Democracy

We had a good crowd at the Pro Democracy Rally outside Papagayos on Manchester in St Louis. I'd estimate that we had fifty people in total—not bad for a weekday evening.

I asked Karim (he helped organize the rally) how Americans might support Honduras. Specifically, I asked what businesses and products we could buy. Papagayos at 6922 Manchester Av, which is a combination Honduran market and restaurant, is an option for St. Louisans. He also mentioned that Hanes manufactures most of their garments in Honduras. Look for a "made in Honduras" label on T shirts and other clothing you're thinking of purchasing and do your part to BUYcott Honduras!

Patch of POedPatriot.blogspot.com and Michelle of ATraditionalLifeLived.com both got video. I was struggling with equipment problems—video camera wouldn't work, camera batteries died, and the voice recorder I used for an interview didn't work. Patch had a spare set of batteries. I don't know what I would do without that guy. It's like he's my very own nanny state. Checkout their sites later this week for video!

Freedom Rally to Support Honduras

Papagayos on Manchester (click picture to enlarge)

Leftist leader Manuel Zelaya was removed from office after he violated the Honduran Supreme Court's injunction against a referendum. He violated that injunction by having ballots for his illegal referendum printed in Venezuela and distributing them in violation of the Honduran Supreme Court. He's now effectively under house arrest at the Brazilian embassy in Honduras.

GatewayPundit has news about a rally to support Honduras:
...Hondurans are fighting back against the misguided Obama administration foreign policy. The St. Louis Honduran community is planning a Freedom Protest on Tuesday September 22nd.

PLEASE-- Come out and support the Honduran people.
We will meet in front of Papagayos at 6 PM CST on Tuesday. Papagayos is located at 6922 Manchester Av, St. Louis, Mo. 63143—see picture above.

Please wear blue and white!

Honduran Headache seems self inflicted: "Now [the Obama Administration] pulled $30 million in aid and threatens to extend this crisis to forever by not recognizing Honduras' November elections." Perhaps Honduras should be the beneficiary of the next Tea Party BUYcott.
