My vote would be Karl Marx.

Mine as well.

It’s scary the answers liberals on KOS would come up with. I bet there would be a lot saying Moses, Jesus, Paul, or Reagan.

I confess, a similar thread on Dummy Underground is what gave me the idea for this one. Their thread is "What ancient historical event or trend would you prevent or change if you could?"

By far the most popular choice is to eliminate Jesus or religion in general. Also popular are getting rid of Reagan, capitalism, Columbus discovering America, and humanity itself.

The first jerk to decide it was the Govt’s job to take care of people.....

[Captainpaintball]

Marx.

[higgmeister]

Maximilien Robespierre

[Jed Eckert]

The one common ancestor to all the morons that voted for Obama.

What the....? All of my siblings, except one, voted for Obama! What're ya trying to do to me here? LOL

Didn't you get the memo? Hate to be the one to break this to you, but you and your sibling were adopted. :-)

Maximilien Robespierre, but I repeat myself.

Eliminate Juan and you eliminate millions.

After 9/11, he had the power to destroy islum, Build a damn fence, control illegal immigration. He could have done everything and anything. Instead of Mobilizing US into a WW
2 TYPE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY STEAMROLLER.......

....instead he told us to keep shopping, go to Disneyland and remember that islum was a religion of peace.

oh well...Thats the conception prevention I vote for.

Heh... I tell you, sometimes it sure seems that way. We're 180 degrees out of sync with the rest of the family.

Karl Marx

It’s an issue that can go to the core of your view of existance.

Alfred Kinsey

Isaac was the son that led to the nation of Israel and Ishmael was the son that led to Islam.

I don't get that part of the story. Israel was around thousands of years BC. Islam only started in the 7th century thanks to some madman a-hole named Mohammed. How is the Ishmael-Mohammed connection made?

[Minus_The_Bear]

Walter Lippmann.

He was evil & saw people as garbage. That is why reporters and the media talk down to "middle America" as rubes who shouldn't be trusted to make their own decisions.

Karl Marx.

Besides Adam, only Noah and Jesus along with His lineage are important. All the rest are naught but the consequences of our own collective sin.

That was all part of mohammed's story. He was looking into the various religions of the day and he resented the story of Isaac being chosen over Ishmael. He is the one that started the story, trying to give validity to his satanic verses!

[dfwgator]

I concur with you on Lenin.

[donaldo]

Yeah, you’re absolutely correct. There’s a great anecdote about him from Boswell. Boswell once asked Johnson who was the most evil, Rousseau or Voltaire? Johnson, “Sir! It is difficult to settle the proportion of iniquity between them.”

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Definitely Karl Marx- If there had been no Marx, then there would have been no Stalin, no Lenin, no Mao, no Castro, no Pol Pot, no Adolph (National Socialist) Hitler...the list goes on & on.
