Leftists Believe in Despots Not in Constitutional Institutions
The Honduran Supreme Court blocked a dictator in his drive to stay in power who called for a new constitution more suited to his despotic aims! Their constitution expressly forbids it. It is treason to change the constitution for the purpose of gaining elective office.
The Cato Institute lays out the reasons to leave the Honduran people alone. Leftists in this country will likewise want to change the U.S. Constitution when it doesn't meet their aims, goals and needs.
Go to June 30 podcast at http://www.cato.org/dailypodcast/podcast-archive.php for a detailed discussion why the Leftist factions in the United States are not justified in interfering in Honduras.

The Welfare State We'll Be in Soon - A Cautionary Tale
The English author, James Bartholomew, in his book The Welfare State We're In, discusses the serious societal changes of attitude and character that have "gone badly" in England, since the 1950's.
To illustrate this change gone badly, Bartholomew relates that before creating their welfare state of free education, free housing, pension and free medicine you could go to a soccer game and watch very orderly rows of fans applauding their team.
Today with a massive change in gang violence, of English fans out of control, architects have had to design stadiums to keep fans separate because now they are expected to fight each other after a game.
In 1950 only 3.4% of the population were on public assistance. Since then, England has experienced a 134% increase of wealth.
With such an increase, the 1950's government might have expected only 1% would be on welfare. Not true! Today 29% are getting pulic assistance. One third of the population!

Judge Sotomayor Blurs Separation of Powers
The Founders of the Constitution separated powers into three branches to prevent the power hungry from getting too much power.
Judges who follow the European judicial model believe that power best resides in enlightened individuals.
That was the foundation of the French Revolution.
The American Founders did not believe individuals were the best repository of power. They thought institutions were better able to guard against evil justices who grab for power.
When Baarak Obama says he wants a special person with empathy, he really wants a usurping justice to safeguard the rights of the poor; he really means he wants an activist judge who believes she is an anointed vessel of judicial light and compassion that is otherwise unavailable.
Such judges are dangerous to a free people, for these jurists will elevate special classes of people to special protection status, thus unequally applying the law.
Such judges, who seek special justice for special classes of people, will apply the law in specially skewed ways; they will do all in their power to subjugate people whom they think are threats to the social order the judges are trying to protect and promote.
They will create a new special class of people they believe have for too long been mistreated and deprived.
