oh, I forgot to tell you that they allow three votes. I cast all three for Ronald Reagan.
Agreed... I got my freep on.
WHAT A CROCK!
Clinton receiving a copy of the Koran presented by Chairman Yasser Arafat of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza City, Gaza, December 14.
Bill Clinton may have not been the worst President. It would be almost impossible to be worse than Jimmy Carter. I do think Clinton was the most immoral man to be president.
Some one needs to run this as a "Poll Question" once this thread runs out as this poll is ongoing. (timeframe on voting site).
The ultimate stupidity of this is that the poll can even include sports and entertainment figures. What in the world defines them as great americans. Great boxer, cyclist, comic, talk show host has ZERO relationship with greatness as an American.
One who has taken no risks, who did not lead the country through perilous times and did not stand for any great American values should not even be considered. Although that would tend to narrow the list down to Presidents, some have lead by greatness in other fields. Washington may have earned the greater part of his American greatness on the battlefield. Although not a favorite of mine, MLK might have achieved a measure of American greatness by championing greater freedom, that ultimate American value, and by doing so with his ideas and not with violence.
My top three: Lincoln, Washington, Reagan.
Washington made the country, Lincoln saved the country and Ronald Reagan saved the world. Not bad. Not bad at all.
My wife asked a friend of hers who she thought was the greatest American. Her answer (drum roll please) Princess Diana. These are the people who vote to put Michael Jackson and Ellen Degenerate on the list of top 100.
what I want to know is...why wasn't Nixon on this list???? He only RESIGNED..he was not IMPEACHED like Clinton!
