5. Mein Kampf was probably one of the most boring, |
|
but I guess you have to understand their definition of "dangerous", and fortunately, I don't.
I'm surprised that they didn't include the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, along with The Federalist Papers.

7. These people are insane! Unsafe at Any Speed!?!?!? |

That book is responsible for saving untold millions of lives. But this one is my favorite, it blames our current deficit on FDR!
General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
Summary: Keynes was a member of the British elite--educated at Eton and Cambridge--who as a liberal Cambridge economics professor wrote General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in the midst of the Great Depression. The book is a recipe for ever-expanding government. When the business cycle threatens a contraction of industry, and thus of jobs, he argued, the government should run up deficits, borrowing and spending money to spur economic activity. FDR adopted the idea as U.S. policy, and the U.S. government now has a $2.6-trillion annual budget and an $8-trillion dollar debt.

9. Pay no attention to the "man" behind the curtain |
|
I use the term "man" loosely - I'm hard pressed to call any of the repukes men - oops is it ok to say hard, Kinsey report you know. Never mind the magical surplus, balanced budget blah blah blah. The list was good for a laugh.
