Dirty stinking beatniks in the 50's and early 60's, it all began there.

What three people do you think have had the worst influence on American culture? I don't mean by public figures who successfully passed legislation that hurt our country, but those who's public lives dragged our culture down by normalizing or advocating a negative behavior.

1962. Abolishing prayer in public schools.
That's a quick answer, not totally thought out. I do think it's the narcisstic, drug-addled culture that created the environment where everything is embraced and excused and there are no consequences for bad behavior.
Obama and his ‘RATS’ tools. All of the Federal “judges”. They have turned America into a lawless rat hole.
Currently I’ll go with:
Brian Williams
Scott Pelley
Diane Sawyer
Ted Kennedy
Obama
Clinton
Good question.
Without too much thought, previous NY Times publisher Arthur Sulzburger, Sr., and Hollywood lights like trash-purveyor Aaron Spelling have had far more degrading influence on American culture than any politician or philosopher.
Yep.
I’ll go with Earl Warren along with Sulzberger and Spelling.
Obama. No one else even comes close.
That’s a great start, but why just three
1.) William Jefferson Clinton (Hands down)
2.) Helen Gurley Brown
3.) Madonna
Any list not headed by BJ Clinton is wrong.
Exactly. Ted Kennedy 1965 Immigration Act = America Destroyed.
Rachel Carson
Jack Kerouac
Irwin Allen Ginsberg
Lyndon Johnson would be at the top of list.
Darwin, Marx, Wellhausen, Freud, Dewey, Keynes, Kierkegaard.
Breese - “Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave”
Women! The feminization of this country is nothing more than a shift to gynocracy.
Sorry - finger slipped and cut off my post prematurely:
Obama. No one else even comes close.
As the epitome of narcissism, lies, and manipulation to acquire political power, Obama has legitimatized all the worst behaviors that were previously seen in pop culture. But Obamas thuggish tactics, continuous propaganda, flat-out lies, and elevation of himself to the status of royalty has sent the message that HE is what America stands for.
LBJ
hippies
mainstream media
The Russians were right, Krushcev said “We will bury you”. And wow only took em 3 gens but they have. Our country is lost, by the will of god we who disagree are all still breathing. Oh and the will of the 2nd Amendment.
