Top 20 Conservatives and Liberals in America
Recommend on Google+
These lists are always a flawed parlour game, but they are fascinating and they do provoke debate. The Daily Telegraph is the latest to publish lists of the ‘most influential’ American public figures, producing lists for both conservative and liberal individuals. No surprises about Barack Obama as the country’s most influential liberal, but Dick Cheney at the top of the conservative list might prompt more reaction, while George W. Bush languishes at No. 12. Anyway, whether you agree with the rankings or not, the short biogs certainly illuminate a number of key individuals in US politics, and can be used to prompt debate in class.
