New Rogues' Gallery

Over the course of time, some real baddies have flourished, from Caligula and Nero, to Hitler and Stalin, to your work-a-day Jack the Ripper or Charlie Manson. Some of the human horrors are most notable for stealing little but damaging greatly like Bonnie and Clyde or Dillinger while other like Ken Lay and Bernie Madoff stole big. Today, a new list must include Kim Jong-il who I would not trust as a sushi chef, but who is still running a country that menaces South Korea and Japan and is bent on acquiring missiles that can threaten the United States. The North Korean leader should be put on the mentally unable to perform list- permanently. Mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his mullah backers are on the kill them all, let Allah sort them out march, trying to turn the Iranian people, the inheritors of the glory of Persia, into an End Time cult. Wahhab crazies like bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the Taliban have similar aims, to force the infidel to submit or wipe the unbeliever from the earth. Bernie Madoff has certainly earned his dishonorable mention, but what he took is chump change compared to the racketeers running D.C. who have just raised the debt limit another 1.8 trillion dollars. The chief rogues are the ones (like Soros) behind the installation of an unvetted and previously untested pretender into the highest office. Those who created Obama and prop him up are stealing the United States.
