Obama’s Pro-Zelaya Ally Hugo Chavez Tried to Kidnap Honduran Catholic Cardinal

HOPE AND CHANGE.
In July 2009 leftist Honduran President Manuel Zelaya tried to skirt the constitution to become the country’s version of Venezuelan tyrant Hugo Chavez. The Obama Administration knew that ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was an anti-democratic anti-Semitic pig whose goal was to become ruler for life like his buddy Hugo Chavez. Team Obama decided to support him anyway. Barack Obama even cut off aid to Honduras in order to appease Marxist tyrant Hugo Chavez at the expense of the Honduran people.

Birds of a feather…

The news that President Obama cut off aid to American ally Honduras did not make many headlines. Barack Obama openly sided with Marxists Raul Castro, Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega in punishing the government and free people of Honduras.

Today we found out that Obama’s Honduran ally Hugo Chavez planned on kidnapping Honduran Cardinal Maradiaga.
Catholic Culture reported:

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez once plotted to kidnap Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, the cardinal revealed to a truth-and-reconciliation commission in his own country.

The Honduran cardinal reported that Chavez was outraged by his support for a coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya, a Chavez ally, in 2009. Today, Cardinal Rodriguez says that he has not regrets about his role: conditions in Honduras have improved, he says, and he is now praying for Chavez, who is suffering from cancer.

In an interview with Vatican Insider, the Honduran cardinal—whose name is often mentioned among the possible candidates for the papacy—acknowledged that his life has been threatened, but indicated that he is not worried about his own security. He said:

My bulletproof jacket? It’s the crucifix on my chest. While the Rosary is my loaded pistol, containing 50 shots.

Long live Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga!
