George Washington: greatest American ever?
John Hawkins at Right Wing News says yes. Check out his post on Washington and let me know what you think. Do you agree? If not, who’d be tops on your list of greatest Americans?
Here’s some background on President’s Day/Washington’s Day (his birthday is the 22nd).
Refresher: Here’s his bio on the WH website. More on GW here.

“If not, who’d be tops on your list of greatest Americans?”
Daniel Ellsberg.
Lincoln is right at the top for saving the union and finally putting an end to the Pope’s tricks. Peace
Honorable mention:
George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
George Washington Carver
Alexander Graham Bell
Jack Kilby (inventor of the integrated circuit)
Greatest American:
Ronald Reagan.
George Washington started the USA
Abraham Lincoln defended the USA
TR and FDR expanded the USA
Reagan!!!!
Reagan’s got to come second. Reagan changed a country. Washington made one. Washington accepting no more honorable title than “Mr. President” and quitting after two terms were thow of the most important things he could have done. They don’t sound like much, but that precedence guaranteed our democracy would continue.
I have been reading a book on our founding fathers and it would be hard to settle on just one person. Here are some other names that have not been mentioned.
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Jefferson
Samuel Adams
Patrick Henry
Not to take away from George Washington but with out the above mentioned and others in their contributions and sacrifice’s to the beginnings of our country I don’t think America would be as great as she is. We are a Constitutional Republic of Laws and I would challenge any one to find the word “Democracy” in the Constitution or The Bill of Rights.
For their contribution to American Culture – in no particular order – I submit the following for consideration by all dedicated ST readers:
Ike Turner
Captain Lou Albano
Paris Hilton
The “Dude, You’re Getting A Dell” Guy
Tammy Faye Baker
Ross Perot’s First Running Mate
Vanilla Ice
Jazzy Jeff
Billy Ray Cyrus
MC Hammer
Sam Adams or John Adams, both were great men but John Adams did sacrifice quite abit for this country. – Lorica
