As I was attending the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington D.C., I noticed some publishing companies giving out free magazines, books, tapes, DVDs, etc... in order to boost their media presence. One of the magazines I grabbed was an issue of Townhall magazine with the cover pictured above.
This cover was, of course, like catnip to me. I grabbed a copy and stuffed it in my bag.
I think it is important for the public to know who these people are and what exactly their insidious agenda is for the rest of America.
I will occasionally be giving each person on this list a full blog post because - yes - they are that dangerous to Americas future.
Just to be clear, I don't agree with Townhall's rankings. I agree somewhat, but I feel that people like Michelle Obama and Jon Stewart are annoying, but not that dangerous that they should even make this list.
I would move Kagan, Sotomayor, and Ginsberg way up in the rankings because of their potential, through judicial activism, to ruin this country. I would move Barney Frank up into the top 10, because his never-ending support of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has helped to create what amounts to a worldwide depression right now. I would move Barack Obama up to #1 on the list. George Soros is definitely bad news, but he can't launch 100 cruise missiles overnight into any country he desires.
Today I will just give the basic breakdown from Townhall... in ascending order.
