Probably Reagan. He was the first person I heard point out that the government is the problem which I often agree with and he was able to bankrupt the Soviet Union. They went out with a whimper and not a bang. If you are old enough to remember there weren't many who thought the Cold War would end so quietly.

 

Another vote for Ronald Regan,,Cold Warrior "the took one look at us and didn't wanna fight"

 

Ron Paul......

 

Seems like you intended us to pick someone alive, so I'd have to say Cormac McCarthy. Reagan's the best in my lifetime, but if he shows up and gives a speech now I'm running.

 

Gotta go with Reagan, General Patton, General Lee, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph,

My uncle Howard ( my hero when I was a kid)

A Marine Nurse that tolerated me when i came back from the Nam.... toughest and yet the kindest, wisest woman I had ever known to that point.... and we have remained friends for all these years...

and of course my lady here at home... tough and yet so gentle when she needs to be...

and of course.... Alfred E. Neuman (what? Me Worry?)

 

Reagan, no contest.

 

My Grandfather.

I lived with this WWII vet that had served in pattons 3 army. He received 9 battle stars.
He taught me everything I know about prepping, garding, hunting, shooting, fishing and living life. At 92 he still is teaching and I am lissioning more then ever.

Right now I am learning 85% of what ppl tell you is bull s**t and the rest they just don't know what they are talking about.

Thanks Grandpa. Your still My Hero at 43yrs old.

 

Ron Paul is number one and after living in New Jersey for years and watching one governor after another let the people who voted for him down, I have to say that Chris Christie is a breath of fresh air. I don't agree with everything he does but he thinks outside of the box and is making an effort which I can't say for his predecessors.

 

Jefferson - dead
Ron Paul - alive

 

This is pretty much what I was about to write

 

Reagan has my vote, (in my lifetime hero)

Alive now?
geez, I really have to think about that,
Maybe I'll get back to ya in a few days.

 

I know ... we all loved Ronnie - he was the man no doubt about it. I loved him too.

But the question is, "What living American ...," ladies and gentlemen.

I'm beginning to worry about some of you. Attention to detail. Attention to detail. We survivalists are supposed to be experts at paying attention to detail.

It's the "living" part that makes it tough ... hard to do. Ron Paul huh? Interesting. Hadn't thought of him until just now - thanks. Who is the living person ... who are some more? Athletes? Politicians? Leaders? Americans only please - U.S. citizens to be exact.

 

But the question is, "What living American ...," ladies and gentlemen.

Obama for all the wrong reason's :

I can see why you admire him.

Is he an American? Please provide proof.

Henry Lewis Mencken

 

Interesting choice.

 

My mom dad and husband

Bush, Bush, Palin, my inlaws, Beck, O'Reilly all make my list because they seem to care. Even if I don't agree with all of them all the time they at least seem to care.

Past Hero. Ronald Reagan and my grandparents

Those in our military that fight or fought for our freedom.

 

John S. Mosby, confederate Ranger, enough said. Heck I even named my pet cayman after him.

I almost forgot John Wayne, can't do that, its like, hypocritical or something. Probably more like blasphemy.

 

Whoopie Goldberg

 

Ronald Wilson Reagan. In high School and College he worked summers as a Lifeguard. Had 77 saves.

Living, Calvin Linde. My old High School Football Coach. The first man who taught me the team was more important than the individual. And the last man I ever want to let down, even at the age of 53 I stll remember those lessons. Many I took with me when I coached baseball and led a Patrol Team.
