Sam Adams. The man was a real pistol.
Joseph Warren. Helped invent the hypodermic needle, co-founder of the Sons of Liberty and martyred at Bunker Hill.

Tom Paine, John Adams, Ben Franklin, TJ, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison...how about Caesar Rodney, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Lightfoot Lee, or Edward Rutledge?
How to choose...personally I pick George Washington. His singlular acts of refusing the crown when offered and later of stepping down and turning the reins of government over to his political rivals in a peaceful transition of power have to stand out as the greatest acts of love of an ideal and of his nation that have ever been made. His voluntary surrender of the power that he held was unprecidented and left us the legacy of a peaceful transtion of power.
Bless them all, but George was "THE MAN."
