Tuesday.....International.....Honduras & Leftists

The latest nation to undergo turmoil is Honduras. Leftist President Manuel Zelaya wants to serve more than one term which their constitution prohibits, so he therefore wanted to hold a referendum, in effect attempting to change the constitution which only their Congress can initiate. The military said "No way!". The future of the Honduran people is what is important here, but what is very pertinent to today is that it is another example of what Leftists and Radicals do. They seek power in any and every way possible and then set out to extend it in every area of the lives of those whose representation they usurped. Constitutions mean little to them, unless they can make a case that it supports them, then they tend to sound like Patrick Henry. It is vital that the American people understand that Fascism is knocking at the door and it is wearing a smiley face. This is the essence of Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism, The Secret History of the American left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. (isbn 0767917189) I was pleased to see that Barnes & Noble is highlighting the newly released paperback edition and that it seems to be selling well again for it was a former best-seller. If you are concerned with the trend our country is taking, this would be an excellent book to start serious study with, and you can follow that with Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny which is still #1 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list!
