The unholy alliance between leftists Hugo Chavez, Manuel Zelaya and Barack Obama suffered a crushing defeat at the polls in Honduras this weekend.

Despite their best efforts to delegitimize the elections, and the claims of pro-Zelaya propaganda, Hondurans impressively turned out at a rate greater than 60% to elect a decidedly non-leftist candidate. Although the Obama administration recently backed off its insistence that it would not recognize the result of the elections, despite their having been scheduled since well before Zelaya was removed from office for his thuggish and unconstitutional plans for dictatorship, the White House worked tirelessly for months to support the efforts of Hugo Chavez and other brutish regimes to create a legitimacy crisis in Honduras.

Still, leftists are continuing to push for crisis in Honduras. Brazil won’t recognize the election, while the United States is again waffling, and threatening to bully Honduras into restoring, however briefly, anti-democratic brute Manuel Zelaya, in what I can only assume is a symbolic gesture to the power of leftwing dictators to tear apart constitutional governments. It seems the thuggish instincts of this Chicago-style President are hard to shake.
