100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. And Why?

I finished reading Bernard Goldberg's book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America and I have summarized the contents here.

Philip Dhingra said on August 15, 2005 07:42 AM	I was thankful for Goldberg's list. Maybe it's because I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area, or that my friends are liberals, or that I read liberal websites (plastic.com, slate.com), but for some reason I don't always hear the other side. Not that Goldberg's counts as the other side, at least it reminds me that there are tons of idiot liberals. However, it didn't move me any bit from being a liberal. In some ways, it made me more liberal, because it presented the pettiness of his positions. Really, the book is an old guy cussing at his TV. Damn kids and their rap music. Damn beautiful celebrities and their lack of patriotism.
Philip Dhingra said on August 15, 2005 03:30 PM	Like Matthew Lesko, number 100. Such a random inclusion. You have to be a nighthawk in front of the TV to have found that guy.

Speak up!

philosophistry is Latin for the "love of rhetoric." In a nutshell, Philosophistry means that the only truth is tongue-in-cheek. This site is ground zero for my thoughts, multimedia projects, and experiments in communication.
