CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Che Guevara.
He is the quintessential symbol of revolution and resistance against dictatorial powers. He also gave his knowledge and experience in resistance fighting to the world in the books he wrote. He demonstrated that anyone could rise up and lead people in a resistance against un-just governance.

Then I will have to go with the turkey hero, just because I like turkey better than salami.

Marcus Tullius Cicero: A man of no illustrious background, who had never commanded an army, who never seized power over the Roman Republic, as so many men had done before him - and yet who still somehow managed to ascend to the same level of greatness as Crassus, Pompey, Caesar, and Octavian. A man who stuck by his convictions, but who also stuck to his principles to the very end.
Also, I must admit that I feel a certain kinship with Cicero in that his keen wit and scathing rhetorical retorts nevertheless often got him into trouble, and eventually brought about his untimely assassination by Mark Antony's thugs. Considering the fact that I'm nowhere near as eloquent as Cicero was, I suppose there's a lesson for me to learn through his biography about keeping my tongue under control - lest I wind up with my head and hands nailed to the Rostra.
