Only a matter of opinion but, Dr. M.L.K. Jr.. He had peaceful protests, and did great things for equality in this country. Also J.F.K.. He kept the country from going to war during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Not all of the ppl who found MLK where as paeseful I love him his message and hopes. But I have to say he did not condem the ppl that followed him.. My mom was in Al when they marched.. she was hurt baddly.
Shirley Jackson
You know "The Lottery," the short story every writer studies at some point in his life? It only took her an afternoon to write.
Joan Didion
For fifty years of not letting America get away with its own self-delusions. If we have a national conscience, she is it.
Michelle Obama
The perfect running mate.

I'm not sure Ronald Reagan was the greatest American of all time, but he sure made me feel good about America and being an American. We were at an all time low during the Carter years and it was Reagan who brought America back. A true American he was.

Most celebrities are too busy being politicaly correct, even if it means bashing America and any Republican President. Celebrities today, worry more about what's going on in the rest of the world and neglect the crisis going on in thier own backyard.
