Sargon of Akkad is the "coolest" leader in history from my perspective.

Even though he was evil, Hitler was the coolest leader. He yelled a lot in his moving speeches. He was a great orator.

Eh, probably. But he was an asshole to Canada and a poor leader.

To summarize: screw Nixon, Trudeau was awesome.

Harald Wartooth: He got his nickname, "Wartooth", from losing two teeth to an enemy sword and then having two brand new teeth spontaneously fucking grow to replace them. I guess that's cool enough.

Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

Me too. But that's because I don't live in Italy. The man's a walking-stereotype. The old, fat, corrupt, sex-addicted Italian man with ties to the Mob. What's there not to like?

I'm just going to put this here: "Majority Of Canadians Think Harper Shouldn't Run Again"-Huffington Post.

" Harper's lowest result came on the question of whether he should run again in 2015: 43 per cent somewhat or strongly agreed that he should, compared to 57 per cent who thought he shouldn't. His lowest numbers came in Quebec (30 per cent) and Atlantic Canada (32), and only in Alberta did a majority think he should take another kick at the can."- Huffington Post.

Emperor Constantine XI of the Eastern Roman Empire.
"To surrender the city to you is beyond my authority or anyone else's who lives in it, for all of us, after taking the mutual decision, shall die out of free will without sparing our lives."
"I would not go if there was any benefit to leave the city, but I can not go away. I will not leave you ever. I have decided to die with you!"-Emperor Constantine XI, last ruler of the Byzantines, and one of the greatest men ever to lead a nation.

For being the last emperor of a vestigial empire? The only thing he did was to die with honour, as such he hardly counts as the "coolest" of only Byzantine leaders.

Ronald Reagan wasn't cool, he was inspiring to racist old people. Despite what the fascists will tell you, Ronald Reagan was not "hip wit da kidz". It's not like you had Billy Idol running for President.

So in other words, anyone you disagree with you can't be cool.

If you think that fascists like Reagan, then you're ignorant of both economics and political history.

That's not possible unless every dollar printed is taxed, 100% flat tax.

Speaking of your hypocrisy, why is Ronald Reagan, President under one of the greatest expansions of African-American rights, private ownership and income gain and the one who signed into law Martin Luther King Day and the Civil Liberties Act, a racist fascist while your progressive hero FDR isn't?

What do you mean? You still haven't explained why taking companies out of the hands of the state and putting them in the hands of the people is bad.
