Who I am, certainly doesn't depend on individuals, but if thats part of the question, then Ronald Regan would top my list, followed closely by Dwight Eisenhower.

I want to see this country get back on track by becoming a country of individualist.

I get so sick of all this follow the leader bull shit.

State what it is you believe in, act on those beliefs, and then follow through.

Seems like a simple plan to me.
