Of course the religious people comes first. But aside from them, I'll pick F. D. Roosevelt. He not only saved the U.S. from depression, but more importantly, he saved the world from Axis domination. I wouldn't want to be saluting 'Hail Hitler, Jr.' everytime I pass around the brat.
Sir Winston Churchill won the war. ;)Quote:

“[Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.”Quote:

Yup, he did an impossible job of rallying your country amidst impossible German blitz, where others simply just folded up and succumbed to awesome German power. Bullet for bullet, bomb for bomb, and technology for technology, Churchill answered Hitler without flinching. Amazing fella indeed.Quote:

You're right, but then, don't forget, even without Russia, Americans could have finished the job in a day or two.Quote:

Haven't been in this thread for a while. Who is everyone settling on?
Jesus is probably going to nab it. Although I've seen David Blane do some fucked up shit which should also see him in contention.
The Russians sacrificed so much in that war. They were fully invaded which neither America nor Britain had been and heroically fought the Nazi's back. A touch of winter also helped play its part too.Quote:

It's a shame that the Russians returned back to tyranny and that Britain was finished and that America was only decades away from its own eventual tyranny.
Still, at least the Nazi's were gone.
I think we have settled on how great America is.:rolleyes:Quote:
