Hugo’s Radio Daze
By Wyatt Earp | August 9, 2009
You’ve heard of Radio Free Europe, right? Well, we need some enterprising young communications magnate to start up Radio Free Venezuela. Why? Because President/Dictator/Snappy Dresser Hugo Chavez is shutting down radio stations that do not abide by his “Love me” rules.
I guess this was not the HopeChange the Venezuelans were looking for. This despot is angering the masses, so he is a perfect subject for this week’s Family Security Matters article. Here’s a sample:
Forget Argentina, there is a new Broadway heroine on the block: and her name is Venezuela. While it is possible that some enterprising young playwright will tell the tale of the oil-rich pseudo-dictatorship, no one in the country will be able to listen to it. To do so there would have to be a radio station capable of broadcasting the lavish musical. Unfortunately, Venezuelan President/Village Idiot Hugo Chávez put the kibosh on that when he recently implemented his own version of the Democrats’ “Fairness Doctrine.”
Oblivious to the will of the people, Chávez pulled the plug on 13 radio stations, closing them indefinitely. Another 21 stations are on the chopping block, and barring a call from the governor, they will be suffering the same fate of Air America soon. For the citizens of Venezuela, the decision was more shocking than a positive story about President Obama.
Please read the rest HERE.

Now we know why some on talk radio here in the US are worried. People will choose commentary and back and forth over propaganda any time and any place, if they are allowed to choose.

Old NFO – Won’t be long.
MeToo – And if we lose the right to choose? We’re screwed.

The definition of banana republic with tons of oil.
We are turning into a banana republic with nukes.
