BOREV: "Republicans Strangely Intrigued By This 'Coup' Idea (plus video)
"Republicans Strangely Intrigued By This "Coup" Idea

In the past week the Honduran coup regime has suspended civil liberties, revoked the free press, disappeared enemies, detained protesters by the hundreds, and oh, hi, opened fire onto mass demonstrations to kill young children. Naturally, House Republicans have formed a massive caucus to back these measures, which favor unpopular leaders often marginalized by Jeffersonian democracy.

So now we've got a video with some slave state Senator comparing the coup regime to Gerald Ford (?), seventeen Senate Republicans demanding we stop using the phrase "coup d'état" altogether, and beloved congressman Connie Mack asking us reclaim the word "coup," for democracy. Oh also Cubo-Floridan wingdiddy Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has introduced a bill to disband the OAS for some reason. Republicans will regain the White House, never, until the coup, the end.

1. Hmm. I just realized that once we normalize with Cuba the Miami Mafia
and their buddies will need a new enemy so they are preparing.

Otherwise they stand to lose millions of dollars in "aid".
