#1 Ted Kennedy 'deserves' a podium position, not #8.

#2 And - how can a country be 'divided' when it's clear that only one side of it is acting like spoiled adult brats 24 / 7 / 365?

#3 They name and shame them. I just say democrats because I have seen nothing I have ever liked since I have had my feet on the ground here.

#4 Article does not mention that John Kerry is alleged to be meeting with Iranians and advising them how to avoid, go around and to wait out the Trump sanctions designed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and further support global terrorism.

#6 Soros. He's been in America enough and thrown discord and disruption wide and far in the US with his blood money, trying to destroy us from within.

#7 I think a lot of people these days don't remember Lyndon Johnson but the whole country went nuts during the 1960s, was damn near torn apart, and LBJ was the reason. I continue to wonder at the irony of LBJ claiming to fight communism in Vietnam while he implemented his communist inspired Great Society policies here in this country. He claimed to be fighting for democracy but he sent draftees, who were deemed too young to be allowed to vote, into harm's way to defend South Vietnamese regimes that were little more than military dictatorships.

I'm sure even most Rantburgers weren't alive during Franklin Roosevelt's administration. But I think FDR and LBJ should occupy the #1 and #2 positions. Social Security, Medicare, Affirmative Action and HUD typify the modern Democrat approach with big government interference in the lives of people. ObamaCare is the direct descendant of these communist based policies that could eventually lead to the bankruptcy and downfall of our nation. The taxes take enormous chunks out of our incomes which in turn erodes our freedom. But even these taxes are not enough and we continue to incur astronomical amounts of debt.

We are still suffering from the policies that FDR and LBJ implemented and I don't know how we can ever recover from them.

Kerry may be a treasonous bastard but he thankfully never had the kind of power that FDR or LBJ had.

Interesting that, instead of even mentioning Richard Nixon, the writer goes after Mark Felt. Nixon was a Boy Scout compared to Cronkite's beloved Kennedys.

#8 No Rachel Carson?

No Herbert Marcuse?

No John Dewey?

Not a bad list by AT, but there's some recency bias.
