People Screwing up America

Bernard Goldberg has written a book, The 100 People Who are Screwing up America. Below is his list. I confess, there are several I don’t know and there are a few I disagree with. But, I agree in spades with several. I think the fact that some people are seen by others as damaging to our culture should give us pause. I know my liberal friends will have a different list. That’s what makes a horserace. I offer my agreement or comment to the side. If you want, copy this and make your own. I must be ignorant of the left wing nuts. I only know 4 of the top ten.
