Bad for America


During a recent exchange on CBS Sunday Morning, ancient newsreader Ted Koppel called Fox News pundit Sean Hannity “bad for America.” To be fair to Koppel, he was making a broader point about the sometimes-ugly divisiveness that has largely replaced journalism. “I think you and all these opinion shows … have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.” However, to be fair to Hannity, Koppel is, as Hannity put it, “selling the American people short.”



Guys like Hannity make no effort to hide their role as opinion-based commentators. It’s Koppel’s inheritors in the corporate media, who insist on presenting opinions as facts, who do the most damage. And when you realize that it’s seldom their own opinion, but one dictated by someone to the political left of Trotsky, then you realize the real bad guys are the ones behind what we have come to know as “fake news.”



Some people truly are “bad for America.” To benefit the Ted Koppels of the world, here’s a list of some of the more noteworthy offenders:

Senator Chuck Schumer

In 2006 Senator Schumer examined the resume of a federal bench nominee named Neil Gorsuch. So impressed was the future Senate Minority Leader with Gorsuch’s bona fides, he joined all of his fellow Senators in a unanimous confirmation vote. According to Schumer v.2017, Schumer v.2006 was an idiot. Chuckie is now leading the Senate minority — a number of whom joined him in the Gorsuch thumbs-up in 2006 — on a mission to block Gorsuch’s bid to join the Supreme Court. The Democrats scored a big win with the failure of “Trump-RyanCare.” Schumer is going to give it all back, just to vote “no.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren

(Cue war drums and baleful flute) Many moons ago, proud Cherokee live in harmony with spirit of wolf and sky. Then paleface come with thunderstick and wheel and take many buffalo from people-of-high-cheekbones. Spirit walker say one day, Princess Fauxcahontas will play both sides for saps; and make heap big wampum without lifting a feather.

Rep. Keith Ellison

This cat came within a few votes of being Chair-jihadi of the Democrat Party. During his career, Ellison has shilled for Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, Hamas, CAIR, Assata Shakur and even Fidel Castro. Ellison’s ascension normalizes all the worst things Islam does to people in the name of religion. For a party which opposes little kids bowing their heads in prayer before homeroom, the Democrats’ acceptance of Ellison makes as much sense as Farrakhan’s belief that white people are the result of a science experiment gone awry.

New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio

Any mayor of any “sanctuary city” deserves a place here; since DeBlasio is the mayor of the biggest one, he gets top billing. This doesn’t need to be complicated. Harboring criminals is a crime. Harboring criminals and then telling the police to get bent is obviously worse. Amnesty advocates are fond of claiming their motives are purely humanitarian. Every time I hear about another Kate Steinle, or “Rockville Rape,” I’m reminded how their idea of “humanitarian” doesn’t include the humans who are here legally.

Barack Obama

Trump’s predecessor hasn’t been as visible as I thought he might be in his retirement; which I suspect is motivated by the same instincts that propelled Kennedys to leave the scenes of accidents. From Obamacare to ISIS to illegal aliens, Obama’s presidency set our country back in nearly every societal aspect. In 1980, Ronald Reagan asked America if we were better off than we were before Jimmy Carter’s regime. No one needs to ask that about Obama; the answer took the oath of office in January. Let’s hope he follows the tradition of “not undercutting the new guy.” The new guy has enough on his plate, cleaning up Obama’s messes.

Senator Al Franken

He isn’t funny. He has never been funny. He’s just weird, and not in a “kooky stand-up comedian” way, but in a “lingers a little too long near the women’s dressing room in the mall” way. His cross-examination of Gorsuch was so bizarre, it convinced me that the people of Minnesota elected him to the Senate just to keep him out of Minnesota. Buffoons like Franken, or former governor Jesse Ventura, drag the political process across the line from silly to stupid. Read a book, Al; and not one you “wrote.”

Cecile Richards

Nosferatu with a $1,000 haircut, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards probably commands the highest body count on this list. When she’s not pretending her human charnel houses actually perform mammograms and other non-abortion related services, she’s pushing “Shout your abortion” t-shirts as this season’s must-have accessory for the feminist-on-the-go. And thanks to her non-stop politicking, not only do we all subsidize her baby parts racket, we subsidize her close to $1 million annual salary. That’s a lot of cheddar to make life as cheap as livestock.

Al Gore

So what if his doom’n’gloom predictions make Chicken Little look like the Oracle at Delphi? What’s important is that Tipper’s ex-husband cares. He cares so much, he has willingly sacrificed his time, his effort and a good bit of our patience pushing the dumbest pseudo-scientific claptrap since not long after he “invented” the internet. He cares so much that he has banked northwards of $500 million peddling his inconvenient slide show. And he needs it; you can’t heat/cool those beachfront palaces with Chernobyl-sized carbon footprints with caring.





Michael Moore

He’s a war profiteer who makes anti-war movies. He goes to $3,000+/week weight loss clinics while claiming Cuba’s healthcare system is better than ours. He claims to care about the poor, but he shuttles between nine palaces on the wings of an eight-figure fortune. How has this guy managed to hang around this long? Not that his message doesn’t resonate with the low forehead set — it clearly does. I’m just curious how a dude who looks like a Dali impression of Peter Griffin hasn’t pulled the cardiovascular ace of spades.

George Soros

If the left is the Empire in Star Wars, this creepy old billionaire is Emperor Palpatine. Between his own direct largesse and his Open Society Foundation, Soros’ tentacles have reached into virtually every left wing hate group’s office and Democrat politician’s pocket. Remember when thugs started showing up at Republican events and gleefully assaulting people? Quite a few were there on a Soros scholarship. Unregulated money in politics can be a problem; Soros is a walking example of why.

Shannon Watts

Even vultures have enough decency to wait until the survivors clear the scene. Ms. Watts, who swings the hammer for “Moms Demand Action,” one of billionaire Mike Bloomberg’s anti-liberty hate groups, has neatly positioned herself as the only person who seems to exploit tragedy faster than those lawyers who advertise on bus stop benches. She can be counted on for two things:
•Blaming guns for the acts of people.
•Knowing as much about guns as I do about needlepoint.

In Ms. Watts’ utopia, AR-15s with “high capacity clips (sic)”, silencers (sic) and special armor-piercing bullets only exist in movies; which, coincidentally, is where Ms. Watts learned most of what she knows about guns. Actually, in Ms. Watts’ utopia, only the government is allowed to have guns. That utopia existed. We knew it as the Soviet Union. Our British cousins have made private ownership of guns exceedingly difficult. ISIS seems to appreciate it. In my utopia, I get a fighting chance. I’ll take it.

Chelsea Clinton

Her mom is yesterday’s news, and the Democrat Party needs another Clinton like Michael Moore needs another cheeseburger. Nonetheless, here’s Chelsea, whose public profile appears to be rising in direct proportion to her parents’ fade. She’s working for NBC News! She “writing” a children’s book! She’s making a speech on “women’s” rights! She’s even receiving a “lifetime achievement award!” Her name might as well be “Thanks, Mom!” To be fair, the people around her as much to blame for continually teeing it up for the poor girl as she is for continually swinging and missing. Stop trying to be a thing, Chelsea. You’re not Ivanka Trump.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo’s the big name right now, but he’s an avatar for every one of the low-info, big-microphone blowhards who charge us the cost of a decent-sized meal to see them duke it out with a CGI baddie and then throw in the political lecture for free. You need to get your pie hole wedged pretty far up your own blowhole to take private jets to and from global warming conferences; almost as far as you do to complain about the plight of the poor while wearing an outfit that cost more than a mid-sized country’s GDP. You’re a Kardashian with an Oscar, Leo. Go date another supermodel.

Bill Clinton

When the president of the United States fixed the camera with that crooked mug and claimed “it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is,” the whole nation took a step towards the Jerry Springer-esque idiocracy many fear is our ultimate American fate.

Hillary Clinton

She very nearly tore the world apart as Secretary of State, and she followed it up with one of the ugliest presidential campaigns in American history. She risked the domestic tranquility because she just couldn’t get it through her occasionally-wracked-by-seizures head that people just don’t like her. Don’t go away mad, Nana. Just go away.

Bill Maher

Flip on HBO in between Game of Thrones and Lena Dunham making a fool of herself to catch Bill’s gabfest lowering the national IQ. If you missed it, here’s how it went:

Bill: “Everyone to the right of Obama is an idiot.”

Token conservative guest: “Umm”

Shrieking liberals who comprise rest of panel: “Racism!”

It’s not TV, it’s HBO. It may be HBO, but it’s not good.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi

I’m not sure the woman who oversaw the Democrats’ decline from “unstoppable political machine” to “oh, is she still here?” really has the juice to make this list. After all, it’s a list of people who are bad for America. When it comes to Democratic electoral success, she’s the ultimate bad luck charm. You do you, girl.

Amy Schumer

Oh look, the cute girl with the baby fat is talking about her vagina. That’s “feminism?”

Lena Dunham

I’d rather listen to Schumer talking about her vagina.

The Kardashians (They collectively count as one)

Christ on his throne, can’t anyone make these people stop?!?
