The Greatest American.

AOL Television and the Discovery Channel has had the American Public voting for "The Greatest American." The winner is Pres. Ronald Reagan!! (I couldn't agree more)

I also agree with the runners up: 2) Abraham Lincoln 3) Martin Luther King Jr. 4) George Washington 5) Benjamin Franklin.

But here is how some over at DU explain it. You know. Same old song. We are all just so stupid:

"Re: Reagan winning "Greatest American" -- I am **AMAZED** . . . . . . that anyone actually watches the Discovery Channel. But seriously, here's why he won:
1) The poll was conducted by AOL. Hence, it was most heavily advertised on AOL.
2) AOL is the country's most popular dial-up service.
3) With broadband internet becoming steadily more popular and less expensive across the nation, the largest group of AOLers today are probably rednecks -- or, more broadly (and more politely), those who live in rural parts of the country where broadband is not available and cheap.
4) Rednecks vote Republican.
5) There was only one real Republican in the top five. Everyone else was on our side."

You gotta love the consistency of their arrogance.

Isn't it interesting though that "Rednecks" would vote Martin Luther King Jr. in 3rd place??? No rednecks I know would. Such is the liberal logic over at DU.
