conservitives post their most hated books

First of all, everyone should stop banning or listing books for the purppose of maligning them. It's just dumb.
A conservative magazine has put up their list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries. The first three are predictable. They are going after Communists and Hitler. Other books on the list I would, of course, never agree with maligning, but I was not surprised -- Darwin, Kinsey, Nietzsche. Those don't surprise me since those are writers who wrote about subjects that conservative Christians are always ranting about. However others on the list and in the Honorable Mentions section are puzzling.
Democracy and Education by John Dewey?
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan?
On Liberty by John Stuart Mill?
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson?
Can we get conservatives groups like this some better hobbies? Or some pills?
