For body count Margret Sanger is a top 10.

:)

Sanger fits into the time frame too, since she didn't die until 1966.

She should be Number One.  Her influence has killed millions of lives and damaged millions more.

No one has done more damage than she.

Interesting nominee.  But she didn't do it alone.

The white woman who killed more Blacks than anyone else.
And she did it due to race inferiority. Racist to the Core.

Place a statue of Margaret Sanger whenever a Confederate
statue comes down.

It's hard to imagine anybody besides Ted Kennedy at #1 ... truly an evil man in every respect.  Fortunately I was unborn (or too young to care) when he got most of his airtime.

All the Kennedy men were dirtbags.  Unfortunately, they were fairly good looking guys.

And all the Kennedy women were enablers.

I dunno.  Kennedy didn't actually do anything to the country because he never got the power he wanted so badly.  So I don't see him on the list.

Very few people know that about Margaret Sanger.  It needs to be more widely known so that all these hyper-liberal women who support abortion know its origins.

Like hell he didn't! He was the undisputed leader in the borking of Judge Bork and that's enough for any one lifetime although that's FAR from all he did!

You know, I think most hard core leftists know about Margaret Sanger and just don't care.

I've believed for a long time that liberalism, at its core is racist and elitist, so the fact that she wanted to eliminate "inferior" human beings, including minorities and the poor, wouldn't bother them a bit.

Her quotes about her purpose are widely known, but it doesn't stop the left from deifying her nonetheless.

The more I think about it, the more I think she belongs at the top of the list of those who have destroyed America.

Really?

Were you alive when he Borked Robert Bork?

Were you alive when he decided to helped to instigate a new quota system in 1965 allowing inferior peoples to become citizens?

Were you alive when he controlled the Senate to squash Republican attempts under Reagan?

In facts, where were you?

I may have been on this earth but I don't really remember Teddy being a key figure in those things you mentioned.  But I'll take your word for it.

Kennedy was a dirt bag and that was his high point. All
downhill since.  I speak of Teddy, but the other boys
had similar issues. Family traits.

Sorry if I offended any Catholics.

JFK was POTUS, not Pope. We have had plenty of Protestant dirtbags for POTUS, but their dirtbag status wasn't dependent on their claimed religion, it was because they were dirtbags.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ted Kennedy is definitely at the top of my list.  Without exception, every single piece of key legislation he pushed through Congress over the course of almost five decades caused irreparable harm to the United States.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Actually, I think John Roberts belongs, too.  In the unConstitutional rewriting of legislation, he managed to allow the ACA (Obamacare) to stand, costing millions of Americans their health insurance, and countless dollars in costs incurred by not only those who had to pay out of pocket for health care, but the countless dollars more it cost those with insurance to keep it. Neither the economic damage nor human cost can be assessed, and it is ongoing despite some tepid efforts to mitigate some of the damage.
Come to think of it, the fact that the author did not mention a single Supreme Court justice, even an honorable mention, shows how lazy this list was. No mention of Earl Warren, Hugo Black or William Brennan, the architects of modern judicial activism who did so much to literally destroy by edict the federal republic as we knew it, blatantly misrepresenting the 14th Amendment and using it as their cudgel? With as much cultural grouching as he does, you'd think Anthony Kennedy would make the list somehow.

Also, the guy peddles in so many dubious conspiracy theories it's hard to take him seriously.

Absolutely right.  The list was ill considered at best.

The 10 Most Destructive Americans of My 8 Decades
By Frank Hawkins

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.

10) Mark Felt – Deputy director of the FBI, aka “Deep Throat” during the Watergate scandal. This was the first public instance of a senior FBI officially directly interfering in America’s political affairs. Forerunner of James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe.
