That’s a pretty fair assessment. I might be inclined to include Woodrow Wilson, as well.
And after looking at the list, is there a very common thread about the last 8 years??
The beginning of progressive thinking and 16th and 17th Amendments.
But if we start including despicable "celebrities," Jim would need to add another server.
A good list with well thought reasons. I’d have made room for John McCain in the top five. GHW Bush might belong more than Carter, even.
Nevertheless, good article that provokes thought.
He should write a book on how to make millions by pimping misery.
The same works for the race card.
Jane Fonda got an honorable mention.
I agree FDR should have been in the top five.
Repealing these two Amendments would go a long way towards fixing our problems.
Repealing the 17th would return Federalism.
Repealing the 16th would end the blood-letting of the middle-class.
I would have switched the positions of John Kerry and Ted Kennedy.
There was a satire movie in the last 70s titled “Winter Kills”. Its nominally about the brother of an assassinated president looking into the conspiracy. The brother finally discovers that the family had him killed.
The older I get, the more I wonder if that is what actually happened.
Great call with Kerry. What an embarrassment to military everywhere. Would love to see his records from 4 years missing in the Navy. Everything about this guy is fake. Married money to avoid convictions.
I don’t see John Dean on this list. He led the Watergate break-ins.
Dishonorable Mentions! (Just missed the list)
Robert Johnson /BET – Helped popularize ho’s, bitches and pimps while making millions on great hits such as “Jigga my Nigga”, “Big Pimpin’”, “Niggas in Paris” and “Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.” Many scholars within the African American community maintain that BET perpetuates and justifies racism by adopting the stereotypes held about African Americans, affecting the psyche of young viewers through the bombardment of negative images of African Americans. Who can disagree?
4) Carter
Good list. I don’t think Cronkite belongs on it though. I don’t think he had as much influence as many think. There are many many more who are more worthy of inclusion. John McCain, Al Gore are two that quickly come to mind. McCain for his treason and Gore for the global warming hysteria for example.
Can’t disagree with any of this!
Maybe add Malcolm X, Harry Blackmun and Gloria Steinem to the list.
Yea, but the American people actually believed that Cronkite was always “telling it like it is.” “That’s the way it is”, his sound-off greeting, was often that’s the way it isn’t. And he was a hard-core leftist for sure.
