America has undergone enormous change during the nearly eight decades of my life. Today, America is a bitterly divided, poorly educated and morally fragile society with so-called mainstream politicians pushing cynical identity politics, socialism and open borders. The president of the United States is threatened with impeachment because the other side doesn’t like him. The once reasonably unbiased American media has evolved into a hysterical left wing mob. How could the stable and reasonably cohesive America of the 1950s have reached this point in just one lifetime? Who are the main culprits? Here’s my list of the 10 most destructive Americans of the last 80 years.

A pretty good list. I could quibble about a few of them and the rankings, but overall it's a rogue's gallery. I will debate the influence Hendrix and Joplin had on the drug culture. IMO the Beatles had a much greater influence then either or both of them.
ReplyDeleteI was pleased Kerry got #1.
DeletePresident George Herbert Walker Bush should have been Number One on that list, for he has done more damage to our country than anyone else since Abraham Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteIt was under his administration that we got the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Transportation Safety Administration.
Plus, he started a totally unnecessary war against the wrong countries.
It was Saudi Arabia that attacked the United States of America, not Iraq or Afghanistan.
Didn't he also create the North American Free Trade Agreement?
I clearly remember him announcing the creation of a "New World Order", and bragging that Islam is the "Religion of Peace".
The only glaring error I saw was not including Franklin D. Roosevelt. He easily was worse than any listed. Although I am sure he would disagree but Bill Ayers, isn’t worth a mention. Bill is hardly a pimple on the ass of history.

But an infuriating pimple to me. :)
