The American Liberalism Project

Individual Liberty—Progress—Humanity—Ethics—Rule of Law

"...if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties—if that is what they mean by a "liberal," then I am proud to be a liberal."
-- John F. Kennedy

The List

by: JB

Wed Aug 30, 2006 at 12:21:27 PM CDT


Pablo Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (five prostitutes in a brothel)Some people are just bad.  They were probably raised wrong, or suffered in some other equally traumatic way  during their formative years.  What they have become is a discredit to the human species.  We are sick of their cant, lies, deceptions, spin, hatred, vituperation, and just plain crass disrespect of our nation and its people.  Some of the names on The List will appear in essays over the years.  We want you to know in advance how we feel about them.  They are the pimps and whores of politics and American society, personae non grata.  A few of them are already dead (italicized); they are the transcendentally bad.  Five have the distinction of being the worst (boldface) of the bad. 

The people on The List (below) are Americans, except one, and have made their mark within the past half century.  If you have a nominee, please make a note and let us know under some Sunday Open Thread.
