I will say again. No woman in US history can match the accomplishments and significance of Alexander Hamilton. I would go further. No woman can match 10% of Hamilton's significance or accomplishments.

To even consider putting a woman on currency is to concede the foundation of the Liberal argument; That we have to be "fair" to unaccomplished people.

Jeannette Pickering Rankin, the first woman elected to the US Congress (1916), even before the approval of the 19th Amendment, which granted the right to vote to all women who were US Citizens. A Republican from Montana, a state which had already granted the female suffrage to vote, she campaigned almost door-to-door throughout Montana, crisscrossing the state and appearing before church congregations, crowds at train stations, potluck suppers, remote one-room schoolhouses, and in meetings at ranches. And won by 7,500 votes, pretty convincing in thinly populated Montana.

Maybe not 10% of Alexander Hamilton, but pretty impressive by any standard.

This is how they are trying to fundamentally transform the culture. Not respect for our founders and those who came before to build out country.

What do you mean? No women in History can match his accomplishments? Hillary will have been president for four years and broke the glass ceiling with equal pay for women, healed the earth, stop gun violence with strict ownership laws, solved income equality by servery taxing the rich, reduced the population (once again saving the earth) with an abortion clinic on every corner, outlawed hate speech, and provide socialized medicine. </s > off.
