Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez is imposing his own version of the Fairness Doctrine.
Authorities in the workers’ paradise indicted Guillermo Zuloaga, president of the opposition media outfit Globovision.
Zuloaga is accused of “usury.” Yes, usury. Really. It’s a crime down there.
There is no reaction yet from Chavez’s American friends, Sean Penn, Danny Glover, and Kevin Spacey, about the indictment. They also haven’t commented on the fact that Chavez allows Islamic terrorist groups to use his country as a base.

Not really a surprise is it? He is just a few years ahead of Obama, I would guess.

Usury is a crime here, too.
The banks write the laws, so they've made it so nobody gets jailed for it, but it's still a law.
There are maximum interest rates that are legal to charge. The rationale for this goes back to the Bible.
Chavez is a fascist and a crook, but not because he prosecutes usury.

Well stated Matthew [and Floyd also]! Obama is ALSO allowing terrorists to use the US as a base-----those terrorists are LIBERAL DEMOCRATS!!!!

Choosing to prosecute usury practices is still challenging the idea within the bounds of law. It's like choosing to participate in legal adoption services yet speaking against those practices which aren't kosher within the law.
