More right-wing lawmakers visit Honduran dictator

After Jim DeMint led his delegation of clowns to Honduras to schmooze with right-wing dictator Roberto Micheletti, more of our so-called representatives have followed suit. This also follows a delegation organized this past summer by right-wing Rep. Connie Mack IV of Florida.

Now 3 Republican congresscritters from Florida have embarked on a fact-finding mission to see their favorite dictator du jour. (Micheletti is the new Lee Kuan Yew.)

The visit by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and brothers Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart (who all supported the violent coup that put Micheletti in power) has the purported aim of encouraging the U.S. to back the Micheletti regime.

Like the delegations by DeMint and Mack, Ros-Lehtinen and the Diaz-Balarts are violating the Logan Act.

One also has to ask a far more urgent question: Are the lawmakers who have been involved in these trips plotting further action in Honduras? Had they already been involved in plotting the coup that took place there?

And are they plotting with Micheletti to launch a coup to overthrow the U.S. government? I firmly believe they are. There's little doubt in my mind.

Meanwhile, DeMint has been singlehandedly blocking Senate votes on important presidential appointments. (Aren't the Democrats supposed to be in control of the Senate?) Micheletti's coup leaders have also issued a decree banning protests by dissidents and closing media outlets that oppose the coup.

When will Republican lawmakers stop undermining America's foreign policy?
