I actually finished “100 People Who Are Screwing Up America†last week, but just haven’t found the time to write a mini review of the book. I had been planning on a long, drawn out one, including the 100 people, but that plan went by the wayside when my Dad snagged the book the minute I was done. Surprisingly, my Mom, who is Hard Left, wants to read it, too. And so should you. Gotta buy your own copy or get it from your local library, sorry. As an interesting sidelight, when I originally went to buy it, Barnes and Noble didn’t seem to have it. Was back in the political section, no dice. So I grabbed some others, and was walking to the counter to check out, and there was the book, right at the front door. Conservative books are coming a long way.
It isn’t just a book about 100 people. The initial chapters are about the types of people that are screwing up America, such as Hollyweird, Gansta Rap “artists,†and politicians. Bernie explains the how’s, where’s, and why’s of these groups. After that, Bernie counts down his top 100 people who are screwing up America, and he even asks the reader to let him know what they think.
The usual suspects are there, along with some you may or not have heard of, and some you will go “hey, you are right!†For myself, there are two that I do not agree with. Michael Moore and the Daily Kosbat.
Moore is #1. I wouldn’t put him that high. Maybe 2 or 3. But not one. Why? Moore is not consistent in his screwing. He performs Goose missions. What’s that? You’ve all heard of Seagull missions, right? That’s where someone fly’s in, makes a lot of noise, shits all over everything, then fly’s away. Well, a Goose mission is similar, but, remember, geese stick around for a long time, won’t move for anything, truly crap on everything in site, get it on your shoes, tires, and golf cart, then fly’s away for half a year. That is Moore. Put Arthur “Pinch†Sulzburger, as #1, because the “screw America†attitude of the NY Times is consistent year in and year out.
How about Markos? He is in the upper 50’s. He should be much lower. According to Sitemeter, the Daily Kosbat gets 552,000 visit’s a day. That’s a lot of visits, and how many of them read the disgusting hatred and loony liberal inanities posted there and cheer? The open threads are nutty, cauldrons of seethe. I have yet to see a thread that is positive in any way, shape, or form. I’d put Kosbat in the top 30, since he is the head moonbat in the photosphere, and one of the top 10 on the internet. (as a sidebar, the average visit is 2 seconds. The average page view is 1.2 minutes. Kosbat may kick my ass in visits, but I average 1:01 minutes per visit, and a minute and a half per page view.)
I would also add David Allen to the list, certainly in the top 20. Who’s he? He is the guy who owns the Democratic Underground, one of the epitomes of liberal lunacy. Over 70,000 registered members, with 50K active, including Elizabeth Edwards, yup, the wife of John Edwards, and Rep John Conyers (D). Another cauldron of seethe. Hatred, loony conspiracies, and hate are the norm at the DU. And don’t forget the endless petitions and fund raising. Yet not one idea or plan, beyond hate Bush and hate Republicans.
The book isn’t all about liberals, though they are the predominant types in there. It includes Michael Savage, and Goldberg makes a good case why, being that Savage is part of the “angry Right.†Like the angry Left, like the angry Right hurts the dialogue, according to Goldberg.
