Frank Zappa - my hero - talks about American Democracy circa 1990 or so

&feature=context&context=G289869dRVAAAAAAAAAA

Gee, if Frank were around today, I wonder if he'd have anything to say about Citizen's United?

Frank was a classic thinker that used knowledge and reason in spectacular fashion. His observations are as true today as they were over 20 years ago.

For those of us remaining critical thinkers, this sure reinforces what Rachel said last night about Republicans trending more and more conservative over the last two decades. They are still following the script Frank took notice of so many wears ago.

I forgot the guys name, but a few years ago, the great Bill Moyers guested some conservative that mapped out their take-over of all American media. They are following a plan conceived 30 years ago? 80 years ago?

Knowledge is power and I hope better informed DU'ers than I can air out this dusty old plan, THAT THEY ARE FOLLOWING TO THE LETTER!
