25 Greatest? Hardly.
- by Pixel
AOL and the Discovery Channel, as guided by the American public, goofed again. They’ve turned this into a popularity contest instead of an honest appraisal of our country’s history. Here is their latest list of the 25 Greatest Americans (presumably ever):
- Muhammad Ali
- Neil Alden Armstrong
- Lance Armstrong
- George W. Bush
- Bill Jefferson Clinton
- Walt Disney
- Thomas Alva Edison
- Albert Einstein
- Henry Ford
- Benjamin Franklin
- Bill Gates
- Billy Graham
- Bob Hope
- Thomas Jefferson
- John F. Kennedy
- Martin Luther King Jr.
- Abraham Lincoln
- Rosa Parks
- Elvis Presley
- Ronald Reagan
- Eleanor Roosevelt
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
- George Washington
- Oprah Winfrey
- Orville & Wilbur Wright
The ones marked in red do not deserve to be on the same list as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.
