Who is yours?
along with JFK who also exposed the secret societies.
But that Executive Order 11110 was BALLSY!

The easy choices here are Washington and Jefferson. But I like James Madison, without his leadership we could very well have lost the war of 1812 and reverted back to England. Some historians call that war the second Revolution. New England also came close to seceding from the Union over the war and negotiating a separate peace with Great Britain. interesting times, so I am going to go with Madison.
None of those people. Thomas Paine all the way.
Strongly disagree here. Hamilton's public statements and writings suggested him to have rather strong preference towards elitism in and the general concept of a ruling class.George Washington deserves a lot of credit for serving 2 terms and returning to real life. And starting that tradition. Always liked Jefferson. And Madison seems to have such a grasp on the idea of structures preventing the abuse of power. He understood the foibles of humans. I guess that I would make Jefferson #1.
However, lately I have been wondering what would happen if Hamilton was President. He was a self made man and lacked the aristocratic tendencies of Washington and Jefferson. Would have added a twist to our history.
Well you kind of did lose the war we plundered Washington burned the White House and American forces faced spectacular defeats by the some of the same forces you fought against in the Revolution, including Natives and Blacks. The war showed how horrible the American forces really were. We kept our freedom.

cool. I'm from Baltimore (Star Spangle Banner = Ft. McHenry) and most times the War of 1812 is overlooked.
Washington (capitol) was burned, the British were advancing, and if not stopped at Baltimore,
would have had their fleet in the Chesapeake Bay establish a supply point/base to remain on the continent.
yes, as well as the father of the Constitution.I think Madison gets overlooked big time. It wouldn't have take but a couple of opposite turns in the War of 1812 for the U.S. to fall back to being under England's control.
