If they must have a woman, I wonder why Molly Pitcher isn’t listed. Oh, wait, no I don’t wonder.

[Still Thinking]

...I tell them that philosophically I am a Bourbon Democrat.

Is that you, Joe Biden? ;)

[NRx]

“Is that you, Joe Biden? ;) “

I don’t think Joe drinks anything that classy.

If you found one for $20 it would have to terminally ugly and 600#

Most people aren’t aware of how brutal Indians were to settlers or anybody else in those days, especially the Comanche’s.

It wasn’t without reason that Jackson was bitter towards them. Any right thinking American of the day would have been bitter towards them.

That’s not to say that there weren’t wrongs committed towards them, but they were not innocents at the time.

America's first female NCO and combat veteran, Sgt. Mary "Molly Pitcher" Hayes, serving her gun at the Battle of Monmouth, 28 June 1778:

She followed her husband into the Continental Army as a camp follower. At the Battle Of Monmouth, her husband was serving as a loader on an artillery piece when he became disabled and was unable to continue. She had been running water to and from the battery for half the day and when her husband fell, she stepped up and took his place. She continued to serve the gun - swabbing the bore with a wet mop after each shot, loading the ball and/or charge into the muzzle, ramming it home then doing it all again - until the end of the battle hours later. Washington gave her an NCO commission for it.

They want a woman to put on currency? Here's one I have no problem with. But they will.

Let’s really drive the left off the deep end: Sarah Palin!

How about Abigail Adams or Dolley Madison?

Or Betsy Ross whom someone mentioned in a similar thread the other day.

Cleveland was a great POTUS.

If he couldn't find a Constitutional basis for a bill, he'd veto it.

I could be wrong, but I think he had the most vetoes of any POTUS.

And he was a democrat.

Imagine that kind of integrity from either party today.

Fun fact: Nobody called him Grover. He was known as "Steve" to his friends.

A true defender of Liberty. Ayn Rand.

I probably like a lot of what she stood for but I believe she was a bit of a feminist too, views on abortion and things like that. I don't want that to negate all the good things she did.

So with Margaret Sanger and Friedan, that's at least 2 big pro-choicers if not pro-abortionists mentioned.

[boop]

I was wrong. FDR had the most vetoes.

Still like Cleveland.

[familyop]

They already put their cooties on a dollar coin, and look at what happened with that.

[familyop]

How about Melanie Phillips or Phillis Schlafly.

[greeneyes]

Betsy Ross, Clara Barton, etc. I’d be ok with that. Not the feminazis.

[cynwoody]

Being from Taxachusetts, I'd be willing to compromise for a Coolidge bill.
