Villains, Bunglers, Charlatans, and Incompetents:
Okay, some are much worse than others. Some intend harm while others "only" inflict damage because they believe they're actually doing the right thing for their wealthy friends, family, church, or union buddies. Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jim Bakker, Dianne Goldman Berman Feinstein, Jimmy Swaggart, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, and Kamala Harris might fall into the latter while Hitler, Milosevic, Pinochet, Posada, Putin, Saddam, and Sharon, certainly fall into the former... The problem is that a host of other draft-dodgers, blowhards, crooks, killers, fruitcakes, marxists, and liars have gotten away with too much. They've been worshiped and honored by segments of our society despite the damage they've intentionally inflicted on innocent, decent people, our way of life, freedoms, belief systems, and the natural environment. So, I hope to use this page as my contribution to setting the record straight. I'm not going to waste time on the really obvious monsters, like the aforementioned Hitler or Saddam, since most of the world is in agreement even though some still honor their likes.
Nope, the folks I hope to "recognize" here are the ones who, by design, have intentionally committed wrongs yet were able to mobilize enough support to cover their tracks or otherwise leave a more favorable impression than they deserve. History, people, and the future deserve better - crooks, tyrants, and criminals need to know that the rest of us are not only watching, but making plans to take action.

On a Related Note: From the early 1970s, until now (the second decade of the second millennium), I regularly monitored all kinds of news in addition to listening to a lot of talk radio and monitoring internet blogs. Whether at my office, driving to work, or even repairing my car, I've always enjoyed listening (and reading) about alternative viewpoints and philosophies. And, I haven't restricted myself to just any one political persuasion or genre either - I've enjoyed hearing from both ends of the political spectrum and everything in-between. However, as time has moved on it's become increasingly evident that there's less and less objectivity on the channels and blogs than ever before. The dishonesty and misrepresentations have become so extreme that I can no longer rely on conservatives, liberals, or anyone else in the media for an objective, balanced, fair or accurate representation of the facts. Their reporting, interviewing, and talk show monologues have become nothing more than propaganda pieces for one political ideal or another.So, after having listened to them all (Beck, Boortz, Colmes, Flanders, Goodman, Hannity, Hartman, Hightower, Lavin, Limbaugh, Maddow, Savage, Schultz, Rosen, and a bunch of locals you've probably never even heard of), and even corresponding, meeting personally with, or holding private telephone conversations with a bunch of them (to conduct business, etc.) I've concluded that they're generally no more capable of assessing a political, economic, environmental, or military situation better than you or me. And, as I've mentioned above, many continue distorting the facts in support of their own political agenda or that of their employer. Because of the media's profound influence on our society the aforementioned propagandists get special attention on this page since I don't have a national newspaper or radio show to challenge them with. They, along with their cousins holding political office, need to be challenged by the owners of this country - we the people.
Ken Starr
"Yet the outrageously monstrous Ken Starr (about whom longtime Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau said, 'He violated every [prosecutorial] rule in the book') conducted, with federal authorization and funding no less, a seven-year, $70 million investigation of Bill Clinton's involvement in a small and losing real estate venture (Whitewater) in Arkansas fifteen years before his presidency, and finding nothing, decided to investigate Clinton's private and consensual sexual life. In the process, Starr almost destroyed the Clinton presidency, substantially incapacitated the executive branch of government, and made America a laughingstock around the world."

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, p. 29
Federico F. Peña
Former U.S. Secretary of Energy, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, and Democrat Mayor of Denver from 1983 to 1991. Peña is a special case for me as I had the displeasure of sitting next to him during one of the Army Corps of Engineers' Two Forks Dam hearings while he was mayor of Denver. At the time, I represented the environmental organization Wilderness Defense! and was working hard, with many others, to prevent the construction of the huge (and unnecessary) Two Forks Dam near Denver. Although we were eventually successful in preventing construction of the project, Peña sat next to me in his expensive suit and fancy cowboy boots pleading with the Corps to move forward with the project. Never once did the Democrats, the party of "Environmentalists," hold Peña accountable for his anti-environmental position. Heck, not only did they reward him with appointments as Secretary of Energy and Secretary of Transportation, they even named a short stretch of freeway after him for Denver's new airport!
In later years (October 27, 2015 at 08:20 am to be exact!) Peña also worked against the environment by criticizing anyone who was interested in controlling our borders and overpopulation problem. It was on that date, in a recorded interview on KGNU, that Peña said that presidential candidates speaking out against the illegal aliens flooding our country were, "anti-immigrant," and "anti-Hispanic." This from a Democrat who claims to have concerns about our country and its environment!
Anti-American
In this photo San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick (7) and Eric Reid (35), refusing to stand respectfully, knelt during our national anthem before an NFL football game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina. The National Football League, of course, didn't have the courage to rein in these two players (employees) for fear that the flow of money into the games would be upset.
