Ok, I saw this list: http://tv.channel.aol.com/greatestamerican
It’s so freaking politicized. Ronald Reagan is the greatest american? Over Abraham Lincoln? What are Dr Phil and John Edwards doing there?
Let’s see who Kirupians think are the greatest Americans. I know there’s a lot of internationals here (I’m so not American), but most of us have lived in the US for a long time. Maybe we’ll do a world list later.
How to Nominate:
Reply to this thread with ONE nomination, and include a Wikipedia Entry along with a couple of sentences with your reasons.
After a couple of days, I will narrow the list down with as much impartiality as possible, and we’ll put this to a vote.
This nomination thread is not intended for debate, you’re not allowed to knock other people’s nominations. If it gets out of hand, I will kill this thread.
*by the way, I deleted the other thread
