The US Government is Replacing Alexander Hamilton With a Woman on the $10 Bill

Oh yes, you’re right. “Gay” is soooo last week.

Nice, but the $20 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is still the most beautiful coin ever made, anywhere, by anyone, period. In high relief, breathtaking. Both sides of the coin are incredible. A rare example of true mass-produced art. It kills me that at one time mere mortals could actually afford the high-relief examples.

And now, the obligatory sexist comment: They will give a boost to the economy, because they will be spent before anyone even sees them.

Obama’s face should be on the $3 bill. And in place of “In God We Trust,” they can put “Queer As A...”

I disagree. Hamilton, intellectual father of the Fed, friend of bankers and co-conspirator against the U.S. mint's currency issues (you can hardly find an example of a pre-1838 specie issue, because of the speculators Hamilton led while out of office), does not deserve to be on the U.S. currency. Of course, the Fed would put him there anyway, as a trophy for bankers and speculators and other Masters of the Universe. But someone else, a U.S. patriot, does deserve to be there, and I suggest James K. Polk, who vastly expanded the United States at the expense of Mexico, or Dwight D. Eisenhower, who led a mighty army to victory over the Armies of the Night.

Let the food fight begin.

Hamilton rightly recognized that "no real distinction between liberty and property".

But he opposed the Bill of Rights, including IV and V, in the most trenchant terms. In fact, he opposed the BoR on general and conceptual grounds as well.

Hamilton believed in a superordinating fedgov run by superordinating smart guys like him, without a bunch of anklebiting by midgetty Untermenschen and malcontents.

Ooh! Oooh! And use that ridiculous photo of him flashing that Gayboy Saturday Night grin, the "hey, sailor, were you talking to me, big guy?" wall-to-wall ivory job.

<Puke! Retch!>

You’ll have to find someone more knowledgable than I am to fight with. Eisenhower is a good idea.

Like I said in an FReepmail exchange with you a few weeks ago, I'm a mile deep but an inch wide. :)

Since President Coolidge was a great Conservative president, every bit as good as President Reagan, I took the former's admiration of Alexander Hamilton as an overall endorsement of the man. From what I gather in William Allen White's book about Coolidge, he was staunchly pro-business and favored the accumulation of wealth and property (he referred to them as "sacrosanct"), which I suppose was also of prime importance to Alexander Hamilton. One way or the other, the true prosperity of the 1920s under Coolidge's leadership along with that of Andrew Mellon can't be denied.

I suggest James K. Polk...Dwight D. Eisenhower...

An enthused YES to Texan (Denison) Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower! He was truly an indispensable man in so many ways.

But as for Polk, he was a DemonRAT. So 'nuff said. I'm one of those who firmly believe that that the 'RATs of the 19th Century are no different than those of today. The lies of the "Southern Strategy" about the parties switching are just that -- total fabrications. With me, it's clear cut and without any nuance. All IMHO but supported by the following odious 'RAT campaign poster frequently appearing here on Free Republic.

I'm one of those who firmly believe that that the 'RATs of the 19th Century are no different than those of today.

I disagree, 'Rats since about 1932, and especially since 1972, have been Communists in all but name, for reasons of deception and public relations. If people ever figured out what the 'Rats really are, they would reject them. That's why 'Rats lie loudest and most vigorously and emotionally whenever the point is made, that there is no longer any daylight between them and the late '30's platforms of the COMINTERN.

To me, "Commie Rats" is a pleonasm, a sinful superfluity of meaning, of piling fudge on chocolate and calling it cocoa.

[lentulusgracchus]

I call the tenspot a “yellowboy”. Ever notice the sickly color? Looks like it has jaundice or yellow fever or something. Yecch!

[lentulusgracchus]

I hate to suggest it, but most likely a BLACK woman? This can only be part of the “legacy”.

Shrewd assessment. As much as Obama may hate the idea of putting a stringy-haired white woman on his signature currency defacement, he may have to for objective, dry-eyed political reasons: He and the 'Rats need white women to rally to the Prog cause, so they may get the nod over Harriet Tubman.

Of course, to make everyone happy, he could take most of the white guys off the currency and replace them with a Marxist pantheon of multiethnic white-haters. Juan Murrieta, Santa Anna, Nat Turner, Pancho Villa, Geronimo, Bobby Seal, Sitting Bull, and practically every other "person of color" who ever killed an English-speaking white man would be in the running, as would runners-up from Round One, like Sacajawea, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and others.

[Yardstick]

I love that. Sort of a cosmic female embodiment of our liberty principle. Which is so much better than a PC woman from our relatively recent history. Still rather have Hamilton, though.
