You should at least open your eyes and admit to what you see. I live in Honduras and teach here. Most of what you say is stuff you are repeating like a parrot and you have no idea how stupid you sound from here. Megan Mills To be left wing shouldn't mean that you are blind.

They resort to excusing dictators and imams on past injustices. Not saying the far right and their Xenophobic racist agenda is any better. Even if the actions taken by the president were undemocratic. Meaning they would lead to a less democratic state, because he has aligned himself with Chavez and others, the left are up in arms. No values, no morales, no better than the far right. In fact many fascists in the early 1900's rose to power with a somewhat socialist agenda. Look at Hitler, you could not call him a capitalist in any sense of the word. The far left has no agenda. They resort to excusing dictators and imams on past injustices.

It should also be the absolute last recourse for intelligent analysis. You, Mr. Seymour, have fallen into that partisan trap and have wasted my time with your article.

Personally, i don't care whether the government is right or left but it seems to me that if the "coup" was happening to a right wing president you would be hailing the army for stopping a fascist. The partisanship on the right and left make me sick to my stomach. There is no common sense left. I think this is what Orwell meant when he spoke of positive and negative nationalism.
