Roosevelt? Eleanor Roosevelt? Unbelievable you could be a Freeper and even suggest that. But as you said, “whatever”.

So let’s put Ronald Reagan on it. But does that rub liberals the wrong way? Then we couldn’t do it.

Or does it have to be a black person? Fine...Booker T. Washington. Or a woman? Well, let Abigail Adams be on it. Or if you really want someone with female sex organs, how about Phyllis Schlafly?

All that aside, I never thought we would really be into the whole pandering thing here on FR. But I guess we are.

You missed the premise dear friend. And I wouldn’t expect you are suggesting Ronald Reagan was a woman. That would be an intolerable insult. So let’s repeat . . .

Alternatives to the Treasury selection for the $20 . . . okay. I feel like Lee talking to Grant at the cessation. So here it is again. What woman would you put on a printed bill representing the currency of our nation? Stop throwing rocks (see previous post) and make a suggestion. I don’t think it’s that difficult. Modus ponens

Another middle finger from the left.

Please explain why the human on the $20 bill should have a vagina as the primary reason for appearing there?

Great design. An armed black Republican.

Reagan was the best President since the Founding Fathers. It is time for him to appear on currency.

Nothing against Tubman. She should be on a stamp.

Without Jackson the U.S. might have lost in 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was decisive.

It was very touch and go and we were a young nation.

You know, I should apologize.

You were not being uncivil and I was. By suggesting that you were out of place on FR because you think Eleanor Roosevelt has merit in some way, I should have just left it at your opinion and let it be.

My apologies. I could have taken that line of discourse on a more civil path.

I don’t really have anything against Tubman. She just popped up in the middle of a fight and I figuratively punched her in the nose instead of the real issue.

What I have an issue with is the notion of pandering, that’s all.

I just see this in the same light as the US Navy being ordered, for political reasons, to name a destroyer after Carl Levin, an anti-American, anti-military, liberal SOB.

I think maybe they should put the people they want on $1 coins.

I haven’t see a one Euro bill or one pound bill while here in Europe.

Bigger bills should be standardized as much as possible.

One of the reasons Europeans use electronic cards is because people here would have trouble telling which bills from numerous countries are genuine.

If the invisible hand gets its way, there won’t be real money by that time.

Her picture should be put on food stamps instead of our $20.00 bills.

Pandering to the very few, once the door is open there will be more chances to pass your monopoly money in the future.

The Battle of New Orleans was fought after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent and the British had five times the casualties the the US had. It was a meaningless rout.
