Concur. The only surprise here is that Obama did not put himself on the currency. I guess that will have to wait until his final days.

Harriet Tubman is fine with me. She was more a lover of humanity than liberal heroes like Margaret Sanger.

Tubman would NOT be a member of the Democrat party today—a collective that pushes enslavement to government instead of plantation owners, the murder of the unborn, the removal of Jesus Christ from the public square, and the destruction of private property rights.

I guess that Andrew Jackson can now rest in peace.

He hated central banking and it is ironic that his likeness is currently on a Federal Reserve Note.

The US wouldn’t exist today without Andrew Jackson. He defeated the British in the war of 1812.

I promise to deface every bill with this turds face on it, if and when they issue currency with his face. Maybe “flies” inked on his mug.

Since they really don’t teach history in school anymore I can see an upcoming Waters World asking who this person is and no one knowing or, guessing something totally absurd.

Scum like you have absolutely no understanding of history.

Really? Is this how we disagree here now? WTF has happened?

Great post, thank you. (#65) I was hoping someone who knows American history would speak up for Jackson. A Democrat, but one of our greatest presidents.

I just don’t understand why we just can’t leave things the heck alone.

I was thinking the same thing. When the leftists find out that HT worked so valiantly to save slaves BECAUSE OF HER CHRISTIAN FAITH, they will p00p on the new bills.

That’s what I told my son.

Leave AJ and tradition alone, create a new bill. What’s so wrong with that??
