He would have continued winning if he lived longer!

Gotta go with Teddy. That crippled fuck FDR sold this country to the hippies.

FDR ftw. He won FOUR TIMES. That's a massive endorsement for socialism.
Bush won twice. That's as massive an endorsement for facism as you can get in the US today.

Washington is the president 5 year olds pick! :lol

Teddy. If he's the Roosevelt Scorsese thinks is awesome enough to warrant a biopic, then he must be the best.

How about the fact that there would not be a country without him.
The people wanted to make him a king and he refused.
Plus he was active in the forming of the new democracy.
He's a man that anyone can look up to.
-
Not to mention he was a bad-ass military dude during the American Revolution. Washington and Clinton are really the only 2 presidents I gave a rat's fart about.
-
Washington was great no doubt. In terms of principle he really outshines most leaders within the last 300 years. As you said, he not only turned down calls to make him king, he also set the precident for two terms. If he had wanted to he could have easily served another term - and died in office.
In terms of his military career it's almost myth like when you consider how legendary it is. And the funny thing is it's all true lol. This is a guy who charged front lines in a time when the front line consisted of rifle men shooting right at you. He'd come out of battles with bullet holes in his clothes - but no scars or injuries. Amazing, especially when you consider that most generals at that time merely sat at the back of the army and barked out commands.
There are actually fundementalists out there who feel Washington was divinely "protected" in the same sense that Alexander was in the bible. Of course Washington wasn't, but it's interesting that people would believe that.

Why is this necessary? FDR.

Coon ass nicca believing everything the democrats tell you. >:(

I don't care about your politics, and I am not American, but Washington was the shit. I watched some 2 hour program about him on either The History Channel or PBS a few months ago and it was incredible the life he led.

I didn't know you weren't a American Solo. Where you from?

He was born in the country of Africa

aaaand which Alexander from the bible are we talking about here, PD? :P
-
Washington is our King Arthur that is why I cant give him that much credit. What makes Washington so great is mostly over-exageration and myth. Much like the real King Arthur he wasn't all that special IMO.

Alexander the Great of course. Daniel prophesized about Alexander's rise hundreds of years before his birth. Very interesting stuff.

One thing I love of Washington I have to say.
He said to not let political parties to take over and warned of them. So true. :(

It's not like he's named :P At least you weren't making out like he was a character within the bible. 'cause i was starting to wonder about you, dude.
but a prohesy = divinely protected now? okaaaaaay.

In his case yeah. In the Old Testament there are verses that suggest that certain people were "divinely protected" (warred over). In other words their actions on earth were being decided based on heavenly "politics" if you will. The idea that certain people were "divinely interved" with by demonic forces, and to combat this of angels were sent to intervene.
In the case of Alexander his successes made the events of the NT possible.

Daniel's vision:
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had [two] horns: and the [two] horns [were] high; but one [was] higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat [had] a notable horn between his eyes.
And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].
And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.[/b]
Dan. 8:3-11
Gabriel's explanation:
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall be].
The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
And the rough goat [is] the king of Grecia: and the great horn that [is] between his eyes [is] the first king.
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Dan. 8:16-25
History time lolz:
Alexander the Great first came to prominance by defeating the Persian empire. After that victory Alexander proceded to quickly - and viciously - defeat empire after empire and slowly building the power of his native land of Greece. Yet at the age 33 and at the height of his power Alexander died. Some believe this was due to poisoning, while others believe he merely drank himself to death; also there's the theory that he died because of a re-buildup of malaria, which he had previously survived.
Interestingly in 324 BC Alexander declared himself to be God - heir to Zeux if I remember correctly. A year later he died. When he died his kingdom was split into four seperate ones.
Daniel's prophesy hits on all the key events in Alexander's life, from his victory over the persians to his blasphemy to the splitting of his empire into four different kingdoms. And as I said about the "divine intervening", Gabriel told Daniel that Alexander's greatness would not be of himself.
As I said, it's very interesting.

a jokey poll about reagan fighting FDR turned into a discussion of biblical prophecy.
Damn. This is what I love about Evilbore. :lol

:bow

I cant wait to see The Odyssey. :hyper Hopefully it comes in soon. When it does expect a PD styled REVIEW THREAD
-
It's amazing omg.
I like movies where I wind up growing attatched to the characters; perhaps this is why I liked King Kong so much and simply don't understand why people could hate "Jimmy" and that black dude lol
But in The Odyssey there's a bunch of great characters and you feel like you're going on the adventure with them. I remember after Part 1 aired on ABC I was hoping that certain characters would survive Part 2 lol.
I'd give it a 10/10 for nostalgia but I need to watch it again to make a more fair and balanced review
-
Merlin aged well imo. I'd still give it a good score, hopefully the same for this.
-
As far as mini series go Merlin is like a 9/10. And Odyssey is better :hyper
The Odyssey>Merlin>Roots

Roots. :lol
The best mini-series I have ever seen outside of BoB is the Battlestar Galactica mini-series before the show began.
Damn it was perfect.
