To be clear, I not taking away from the accomplishments of Carlson or Justice Thomas here. However, standing up against the transgender push into women’s sports was not Ms. Gaines job for which she got a salary. She’s a warrior on the front lines for justice for all biological women.

Thomas isn’t the man of the year. He’s the man of the last three decades.

President Trump will always be “man of the year”. Judge Thomas has done more than any of the other choices to consistently represent conservative values through the decades.

Difficult to choose. All great. Went with Riley because, her being so young and willing to tackle such a huge issue under great threat from the crazies.

Clarence Thomas would have my vote all day long. He is the only one that has not backed down from OUR support of him protecting our rights, freedoms and our constitution. He is like Wayne said, the man of the last 3 decades for all of America. He would have my vote and support if he was to run for POTUS. At least we would have a politician in office that understands what we the people means and what it meant all them years ago. We vote, WE control this government, Somewhere along the way we forgot the WE THE PEOPLE are in charge. Time to remember, Time for a change. Time to thank those that have always been there for WE THE PEOPLE.
Thank you Mr. Thomas, always will have my vote.

Riley brought out in the open what we were all thinking. I find it bizarre that a man wants to think he can be a woman and compete in women’s sports. I see that as not brave but a sign of a sick or immature mind. He can’t compete against men as not good enough but against women, he can win the accolades. This has gone on to far and needs to stop yesterday. To appease a few you punish the thousands. That thinking is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Trump has put up with and endured more then most could ever put up with, he is standing tall and steadfast for all of us. He is and will always be my person of the year.

This 2nd poll has no substance. Where is the Big “D” on this list? Once again it is a waste of time. Trump is the man and no one else is close. Next week do a poll for Jackass of year- Joe and his minions have my vote. Hae a nice day.

Thomas got my vote and Gaines is also very deserving. She was thrust into the spotlight just for standing up for what was right. The other two chose a career in the spotlight.I appreciate all three.

Why are we limited to a “Man” or a “Woman” of the year? We should have both. Thomas and Riley for sure… but for very different reasons. Thomas for a lifetime of his great work and Riley for her bravery in standing up for women… something many women won’t do. Let’s go for both!

Riley Gaines is stepping up into the fray when she doesn’t have to. Justice Thomas and Tucker Carlson are doing their jobs (albeit very well!)

Clarence Thomas is a great supreme court judge and deserves to be honored on every level. Tucker Carlson has also been brave and outspoken with the truth and continually goes against the establishment. But Riley Gaines is a young woman who had no financial backing, no notoriety, no big-name celebrities standing with her, etc. she stood up for what she knows to be right and true, and to fight for women everywhere. She went forth fearlessly with great opposition and hatred spewed her way, and yet she did not back down. She proves that one voice matters and can start making an enormous change. I am looking forward to the day when men who think they’re women will never be allowed to play on a woman’s sports team again!

Really all three imo are #1. However, without our constitution we have nothing. So Justice Thomas should be the winner!

It took decades for women to be recognized for their outstanding accomplishments and achievements in sports. Allowing transgender men in women’s sports has stripped women of “fair” competition, their hard fought rights to compete amongst their own gender, and is a slap in the face to every female sports competitor. Riley Gaines has showed enormous courage and common sense to stand and fight against the “woke” culture that allows biological men to compete on women’s sports team. It takes real courage to fight against a cultural movement. So, kudos to a smart, outspoken, and brave young lady to say, “This is wrong, unfair, and needs to stop.” I hope she wins the much deserved accolades of the AMAC poll.

Here are my 3 cents worth, one for each candidate.
Tucker. I like Tucker but simply talking about what the left is doing is just talk, kind of like NATO (No Action Talk Only).
Riley Gaines, I commend her for being strong enough to take the left on with the transgender nonsense. But that is just one aspect of the left’s twisted ideology.
Clarence Thomas has spent a lifetime fighting against ALL aspects of the left’s twisted agenda and he has done so from the inside before and since becoming a Supreme Court Justice. Now THAT my friends, is commendable.

These 3 are excellent choices, but I would recognize the 2 whistle blowers who exposed the biden crime syndicate. They have at least made sure that the worst president in our country’s history will also go down in history as the most corrupt. The biden family is an absolute disgrace to this nation. They need to be removed from politics asap and hopefully incarcerated soon after.

We still should have had the choice of President Trump. That man has withstood attacks that most would have caved to. He still wants to fight for this nation and her people. Those who can’t see that are blind.

While there is nothing wrong in honoring an individual or a group for their accomplishments, we often put that activity ahead of our own individual/group duty to serving, contributing, or making a difference.

If you haven’t noticed, our nation and world is in crisis. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Freedom is not free.” That’s true. We the people profess to appreciate the freedoms that God and our Framers of the Constitution have given us. Our Constitution guarantees us these rights. Yet, we must admit that there is increasing mis-use and a chipping away at this amazing document. Government overreach is picking up speed. Is there any hope for our future? Can we do anything to stop this abuse? The answer is “yes!”

The is one thing all of us can do, and our Framers included it in the Constitution for such a time as this. It is Article V of the Constitution, which gives the states (We the people) pass amendments to rein in government overreach.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress;

I urge all of you to look into an organization that has been around for the past decade called Convention of States. Sign the petition to have your state pass a Convention of States under Article V resolution (if they haven’t already done so.) Explore the COS website, dig into the facts, get involved, sign the petition and we can all become men and women, We the People, of the year!    (convention of states dot com) AMAC won’t allow links.

“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Riley Gaines for her courage and steadfast support of women’s sports. If tranies want to compete in sports, more power to them, but not against real women! Full-grown men, who are conveniently identifying themselves as women, to compete against women in their sports, have unfair physical advantage and should compete either agaisnt men of their age bracket, or against other tranies of similar ilk.
God made us male & female, anything else is humankind’s doing and therefore not of God! AMEN!

In reading the comments, I guess it depends upon what is meant by “Man/Woman of the Year”. If we are considering only 2023 and current hot-button topics, then Miss Gaines is a great fit for bucking the trends of the moment and taking the stand she did.
On the other hand, if we are considering recognizing someone for a consistent, pro-America life, it has to be Justice Thomas – hands down.

This was a tough vote. I choose Riley because this is something she did not and does not have to do. Tucker & SC-Justice Thomas, well that is their job. There have been so many Americans out there standing up for the American Patriots shining light on the darkness, especially this past year, that it fuels the flames of Hope that we CAN make America great again!!!

Why not have BOTH a Man of the Year AND a Woman of the Year? I think that would be a better way to award both genders of outstanding individuals who fight for our country. Why limit it to only ONE individual?

The “Man of the Year” award should go to any Father/Dad who has stood up to, voiced an opinion, fought, reacted, to this “Unholy” philosophy, griping our Nation”, emphasizing Homosexual, Transgender, “Boys will Be Girls & Girls will Be Boys!” behavior N schools & American Society.
The “Woman of the Year” should go to any Nurse, Nurse Practitioner working in any & all Emergency Rooms, Hospitals, or Walk N Clinics. Listen to UR Doctor, Trust UR Nurse!

It took an awful lot of courage in this ‘up is down’, ‘light is dark’ and ‘right is wrong’ world for Riley to stand up and say ‘this is wrong’. All of the push-back on biological men competing in women’s sports has happened because her lone voice was heard. Other women felt the same way, but did as they were told. Because of her, an ounce of common sense is returning to womens sports.

Still supporting Riley Gaines for Woman (Person) of the Year, I admire this “ordinary” American’s fight to bring integrity back into sports competitions. Most people recognize the obvious unfairness of letting trans men compete in women’s sports. This young woman put aside her disappointment from losing to one of these fake athletes to lead a national battle to restore fair competition in sports.
