::Wow. Am I the only one who finds this definition appalling? Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman were very much American, in every sense of the word. They were born and spent their lives on the American continent, they became constitutional citizens of the United States, and they fought hard for freedom and justice (though I personally don't see this as specifically "American," I'm sure many at Conservapedia do).--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 22:21, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

== Andrew Schlafly on the list. ==
Mr. Schlafly has done excellent work, that is not in question in this post. That said, it does not really help the credibility of this project to list its founder in the same breath as Washington, Reagan and Armstrong. A first-time visitor would most probably see this as vain and self-aggrandizing. While I appreciate the sentiment in adding his name to the list, I am sure it would be embarrassing to Mr. Schlafly to see his name in this context. Could a senior admin please chime in on this and prevent a potentially embarrassing edit war? Many thanks. [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 09:58, 16 September 2012 (EDT)
