Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, who weakened our defenses by cutting back or cancelling weapons programs and at the same time bore much responsibility for the Vietnam debacle should be high on the list.

That’s a good list. One quibble, the irredeemable and deplorable Hillary Rodham Clinton deserves the top slot.

I’m not sure Mark Felt belongs on the list. Journalist Victor Lasky insisted there was no “Deep Throat.” He ridiculed the story that he met Woodward & Bernstein at a Washington, DC parking structure at midnight, saying that if you really did meet at such a location, you would get mugged.

That’s a good list

I’d put Dick Daley and JFK near the top for stealing the 60 ejection, which corrupted the 60s with immigration, LBJ, and so- called “ civil rights” which has led to quotas, threats and discrimination against white people.

Lyndon Johnson – Johnson turned the Vietnam conflict into a major war for America. It could have ended early if he had listened to the generals

Even worse.

Lyndon Johnson is essentially the Father of the ultra left democrat party and all of their destructive strategies such as identity politics, weaponizing racism as a political tool, and fostering intolerance, dissension, divisiveness and hate.

His "Great Society" and "War On Poverty" were the start of the new welfare state and politics of destruction that is so out of control today.

George W. Bush belongs on that list. He’s a nice guy, and I suppose he would make a good next-door neighbor.

But after 9/11 W had the opportunity - and the duty - to crush radical Islam, to crush it as completely as FDR crushed the Imperial Japanese.

Instead Bush tried some sort of combined police action and nation-building. Then came the invasion of Iraq, which toppled Saddam Hussein. Hussein was evil, to be sure, but he was an enemy of radical Islam.

W’s errors will haunt the West for generations.

I thought the honorable mentions were interesting. George Soros honorable mention among others.

Pop- culture icons Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey certainly deserve some “credit” for their corrosive influence on American youth.

There are a bunch of SCOTUS from last 60 years who’ve caused much harm.

Some readers will likely say Kerry does not deserve to be number one
Kerry #1 and LBJ #3? No effin' way.
LBJ was directly responsible for the deaths of over 50,000 brave American men, causing untold pain and suffering to millions.
Throw in his "Great Society" insanity and this b@stard is THE single most destructive SOB in American history.
