Kerry blocks DeMint’s Honduras mission
Senator Jim DeMint thought it might be a good idea for someone to go to Honduras and gather some actual facts about the situation there rather than sit back in Washington and make grand pronouncements. Well, John Kerry, who happens to be the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says “nope” according to The Hill and DeMint’s office;
“No U.S. Senator has yet been to Honduras to assess facts of crisis. [Kerry] & Obama admin using bullying tactics to hide truth,” DeMint, who also sits on the Foreign Relations panel, said on Twitter after he heard the trip would not occur.
“@JohnKerry (Foreign Rel. chair) trying to hide truth to protect Zelaya, blocking our fact-finding trip to Honduras at last minute,” DeMint also tweeted late Thursday afternoon.
DeMint’s office followed with a statement. “These bullying tactics by the Obama administration and Senator Kerry must stop, and we must be allowed to get to the truth in Honduras. Not a single U.S. Senator has traveled to Honduras to learn the facts on the ground.
The first thing that came to my mind was Kerry’s little foray to Nicaragua along with phony soldier Tom Harkin in 1985. At the time Kerry said;
“We believe this is a wonderful opening for a peaceful settlement without having to militarize the region. The real issue is: Is this administration going to overthrow the government of the Sandinistas no matter what they do?”
My how things have changed, huh? Well, not really – Kerry is still supporting the communists over democratic opponents.

God save us from the Democrats.
No matter how many times it happens, it still shocks me. How can they be so damn blind and pompous.
You want to believe when it comes down to it they really do have the best interests of the us at hart. Bus after a while I start feeling like Charlie Brown going after the football.
John “Magic Hat” Kerry is a horse’s ass. Can you imagine had the nation been unfortunate enough to have had this JFK for a president?
It’s pretty simple really. They can’t afford to have DeMint go. The administration is pretty well taking a hammering from all sides to this point (doesn’t mean there won’t be a new Health Bill or economy crippling Cap and Trade)and they really can’t afford to have a few Senators reporting that Obama in concert with Venezuela (who is working with Iran to find uranium) and Brazil (who just received up to 10 billion dollars from the US in loans to help develop their off-shore deep water oilfields) is helping to destroy one of the few real democracies in South America.
Oh, did I mention that George Soros recently (just before the loan announcement) bought something $850 million dollars in PetroBras offshore operations (that’s the Brazilian Oil Company) which represents 22% of Soro’s hedge fund?
See, simple.
“Kerry is still supporting the communists over democratic opponents.”
Heh. No surprises there.
Let’s see, Nancy Pelousy can go to Syria and schmooze with the dictator in residence, no problem. Anyone go to Honduras to see what’s really going on, BIG problem. John F**king Kerry continues to operate in ass-hat mode.
How can Kerry stop anyone from going to Honduras unless they are chicken-littles?
I seem to remember Pelosi going to Seria against Pres. Bush saying no.
Just do a fake humanitarian trip like all the other liars in Congress.
as a american am disapointed in kerry’s actions but really does not surprize me any more as usa seam to always support the wrong person , we need to learn a lesson from the honduran government and support are constitution and get rid of the people who do not or want to change it thank u honduras for standing up for what is right
