I rank Napoleon Bonaparte as a better leader than Bush
Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 01:04 AM by sasquatch
I was recently reviewing Napoleon(or Napoloni if you want to go by birth name) and when I looked at his domestic agenda it was pretty damned good when compared to Bush's. Napoleon was for Civil Rights, Bush is against civil rights. Napoleon created a police department, which was the first for all of Europe. Napoleon also believed people should be rewarded on their merits, Bush believes that your position in life should based on whose crotch the doctor yanked you out of. Napoleon was even better than Bush at waging war as well. Napoleon atleast could win fucking wars and when he won wars his opponet was a Eurpean superpower. Bush can't even beat people who don't even have a fucking army. Now I believe Napoleon is still a bastard for all the people he fucking killed but atleast he felt bad when his troops died. Anyone disagree, agree or have anything else to add to this rant.

6. Ghengis Kahn was a better leader than Bush
so was Alexander the Great,
Julius Caeser
Saladin
Garabaldi ( sp? )
Kaiser Wehelm the 1st
Peter the Great
Atilla the Hun
Certainly Queen Elizabeth the First
Winston Churchill
the Mahadi
Mao Tse Tung,
V I Lenin
Sitting Bull
Queen Hutshepset of Egypt
Kruschev
Tito
Prince Sihanouk, ( of Cambodia )
Emperor Hirohito
Frederick the Great
Teddy Rosevelt
Simon Boliver
Oliver Cromwell
Ho Chi Minh
Spartacus
King Aflred of Belguim
Boodicia
Geronimo
Constantine the 1st... all of these leaeders and many many more besides possessed vastly superior leadership capabilities than the Chimp would ever aspire to .
These people were LEADERS. and YES the Emperor Napoleon for all his hubris and myriad flaws was a far , far better leader than the Chimp.
I can't imagine wanting to see the Chimp's Tomb, as I would Napoleon's .

7. I would like to piss on and mock Bush's grave but
I wouldn't go out of my way to do it. If I ever go to France I would like to see Napoleon's tomb.

11. Napoleon resembles Bill Clinton more
From the South

very smart--could think on his feet amazingly well

moved away from the left

unbelievably charismatic

had a (pretty impractical) vision for his country

kept coming back after reverses that would have sunk anyone else

loved his wife but couldn't keep his thing in his pants
