Freeston, who has worked for Al Jazeera and the BBC and has made two documentaries about Honduras, says the harm caused by the coup continues to this day. “A word that people use in the streets of Honduras is golpismo, which translates roughly to coup-ism,” he said. “Basically it means that the coup is not just something that happened on June 28th, 2009. It’s a long project, and it’s a way of thinking, that the ends justify the means. It’s the government saying, ‘We can do whatever we want to get what we want.'”

I was sickened when, after former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner lost her husband, Néstor Kirchner, Hillary started poking public comments at Cristina, questioning her mental soundness, acting as if she believed she was mentally incompetent and unable to honor the requirements of the job.

It seemed sadistic, attacking the women when she found herself alone, without her partner of many years, to start tormenting her with implications she was not up to the job for which she had been elected.

It seemed so mean-spirited, and dirty.

She's pure right-wing when it comes to foreign policy, it appears. Hates, hates, HATES leftists.
