Tunman will never be on the $20. All will be quickly forgotten after Obama leaves office.
Which simply means the next administration can cancel all of this stupidity.
Tunman = Tubman
If Trump is the next Andrew Jackson he’ll be in the annals of exemplary history soon enough. Maybe Trump will go on the $1000 bill.
I find it hard to get overly excited against the idea of Tubman on our money. I think we should use that as an opportunity to let the Democrats know that they’ve been pushing a golden shackle slavery on the black people of America, and to let the black people of America know what slavery struggles really ARE about, which are an attempt to get freedom, not an attempt to be made anyone’s pets.
Why not replace Jackson with Reagan?
I personally would not complain about Tubman being there. What I would complain about would be a distorted rendition of her legacy, but again this is where the right (which ought to be staunchly anti-slavery both in ancient and modern forms) can take the bull by the horns and come out with a manifesto to cut off the left at the pass.
Replacing the founder of the modern democRAT party with a black female, gun-toting Republican sounds ok by me.
Just wait till liberals figure that one out. THEY’LL be screaming to replace her, or cancel the request.
Unfortunately that isn't very likely. If there's a democrat president, forget it. And if there's a pubbie they're too afraid of being tagged as racist and/or conducting a war on women.
I am of the opinion that if the left wants something, they can't have it.
I have long thought Jackson should be removed, but now that I know the left hates him, I'd rather keep him.
But yes, Reagan would be a worthy person to put on our currency.
I say embrace Tubman, a gun-toting, Democrat-shooting Republican, to replace Democrat Jackson.
Pinging LS!
I would be most interested in any comment you might make about this article. Thanks so very much! (I realize you already gave me a headstart on another thread, but would be very glad to have elaboration!)
Reagan on the $20 = Liberal heads exploding.
Good idea. =^)

Why not leave it the hell alone? Why does the US mint have to spend our TAX money coming up with new ways to print the 20 or 10 or 5 dollar bills just to satisfy some PC revisionist?
I thought you tRump supporters did not believe in PCness?
Leave well enough alone and quit wasting my money.
I do not believe that there is any way in H3ll that Hillary is going to win this election. If she does, I'll start rooting for the Norks or Iranians to nuke us, because a nation so vile just needs to DIE!!!!!!
I'm serious. If we let that hate-hag into power, we all need to turn against this nation and hope for it's downfall. There would be nothing worthy about the USA to support.
It would be in the manner that it was when the Nazis took over Germany. The best thing that could happen is an utter collapse and defeat.
I think we know the hay that the left WANTS to make out of Tubman.
But this doesn’t mean that they have to succeed.
I see this as a marvelous opportunity to open up a dialogue on the black America situation that is based on truth and not lies. That these people have been hankering for the wrong thing, coaxed into it by certain white “liberals” who used words rather than irons but have achieved an equally nefarious result.
I’d gladly be part of penning a manifesto from the right about this. I suspect our pal Windy would be, too. Freedom and the dignity it affords before God Himself is the name of the game. Being some humans’ pet shouldn’t be.
He was a great guy. A patriot through and through. Fought central banks. Brought the presidency to represent the people on the Frontier.
Tubman was worthy of solid respect aND commemoration.
We should honor both of them by putting Tubman on the $500 bill. $500 is worth astronomically more than it was during Jackson’s day. This would vindicate Jackson and honor Tubman at the same time. That’s my Solomon wisdom of the day.
I think the Tubman effort would make more sense. Because it would open up an opportunity to talk about an actual sore point in American history.
Blacks were enslaved. There is zero doubt about this. And it lasted after Abraham Lincoln, only with the old irons replaced with things that were more insidious. With shackles of lies that they had to be pets.
It just tells me once again that our fiat, unbacked currency is simply a very ephemeral political construct.
It does provide the opportunity to point out that until the 1960’s most blacks were Republicans and that the Democrat party was the party of Jim Crow and the Klan was their para-military wing.
They now have them on a plantation of a different kind, government give-aways.
