There is no doubt in my mind that without our Second Amendment, Obama would certainly have already been put on that list.

And at the rate we’re going, if Hitlery is “elected”, she would make the list.

Does Kerry know his idol “Jenghis” is on this list?

Kept the hordes (Muslims) at bay by impaling them and hanging them at the borders and walls.So, you're saying sometimes you must show the barbarians you can be every bit as ruthless as they.

Didn’t it give you the creeps?
That’s interesting.

Neither Pinochet nor Franco belong on that list.
I agree.
We need a Pinochet here. Temporarily, of course. IMO

Didn’t the History Channel have a documentary on something similar a number of years back? If I remember correctly Gengis Khan won (interesting descriptive) that dishonor.

Oh how I would like to buy you a generous quantity of your beverage of choice and spend an evening listening to you elaborate on that post.

Torquemada let’s face it, you can’t torquemada anything!
Actually, the American presidents during WWII could theoretically be up there and that would be fine with me.
But they did it for the good of the country and not themselves.
Dresden bombing and dropping atom bombs were pretty ruthless :)
No problem with the A bomb, a little bit of a problem with Dresden.
But i could be wrong.
and who made a tower out of live men!!! have to look that one up or go to the link

Queen Mary I (aka Bloody Mary)
Remove this lady from your list please.
Well it's not my list and if it were burning a mere 280 people wouldn't be enough to make my list; I'd save the honor for worser tyrants. I think they put on here so they didn't get accused of sexism.

Funny, I was thinking the exact thought...

I know it was Business Insider. I have spent the last few years reading every biography on Mary I and she doesn’t deserve to be on such a list.

To: yarddog
Agree, especially on Pinochet. Not remotely in the class of the most ruthless. Very low body count.

I disagree about Franco and Pinochet. They were tough and ruthless, and I probably wouldn’t want them to rule me. However, they were fighting Communists the whole time they were in power.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I agree with you that she doesn’t even come close to being on such a list.

Surprised they didn’t make the list 10000 names ling so they xould squeeze on an evil founding father
To: Idaho_Cowboy
In the 'rankings' of these rulers, we have those who have killed hundreds (Mary I & Elizabeth Báthory) to those who killed tens of millions (Hitler, Stalin & Mao). Perhaps a better measure would be per capita deaths which would, I think, put Pol Pot at the top. Still it is those who were secure in their power who gave free exercise to sadism, cruelty and slaughter that I hold most evil; Timur the Lame, Elizabeth Báthory, King Leopold II, Talat Paşa, Hitler, Stalin, Mao & Pol Pot.
