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??
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Isn’t Soros an American?
The list is incomplete without the Bitch of Benghazi.
Henry Kissinger
There are a bunch of SCOTUS from last 60 years who’ve caused much harm.
