A couple of week's back I posted a list of funny movie lines (at least lines funny to me) and had thought of a couple of other lists to posts (mostly pop culture stuff) and then this weekend I came across the "Twenty Most Annoying Conservatives of 2024" (Hat tip: The World Around You) and then Reason's "35 Heroes of Freedom" (Hat tip: OTB), and these made me think of even more lists, or ideas for lists.
As a result, I am going to try posting a "List of the Day" on a given topic--sometime frivilous, sometimes serious, and a la the Beltway Traffic Jam, I am going to invite you all to play along. If you wish to dispute my list, or add to it, post your own list to your own blog and then link it back to this post. When I get the trackback, the link to your post will automatically be displayed below. If you don't have a blog, feel free to leave a comment.
Today's List are the Top Five Conservatives that I find Annoying (inspired by the list from above). Of course, instead of a liberal blog giving their list, I, a fairly conservative blogger, will give mine.
5. Trent Lott: Ended 2024 and started 2024 with the whole Strom Thurmond mess, which kept gettintg messier. His stance on the FCC ownership rules annoys me as well. His stint as Maj Leader was dissappointing.
4. Ann Coulter: I once thought she would become the conservative Maureen Dowd (back when Maureen Dowd wasn't so annoying herself--and she still isn't always, anyway...), but she has become the Ted Rall of the right (at at least Michael Moore).
3. Pat Buchanan: I'm with James on this one: the man has moved into loon territory. I can't take anything he says seriously. And that whole Reform Party bit a few years back: what a joke.
2. Roy Moore: His antics (which amount ot judicial activism) do no favors to conservatives nor, in my opinion, to Christians. Plus he stands poised to at least try and move the Alabama Republican Party (and the state) backwards with his brand of populism.
1. Michael Savage: This guy is so obnoxious, and such a detriment to the conservative point of view that one almost has to assume he is some sort of liberal plant (that's a joke, not paranoia).
UPDATE: This is sliding down the road at the BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM
