So the Confederate Flag Should Come Down But Margaret Sanger Belongs on the $20 Bill?

The New York Times editorial board called for South Carolina to take down the Confederate flag because it's racist. They said:

State lawmakers who must vote on removing it need to do that now and show the nation they understand the pain this symbol of hate and brutality causes to this day.

So the reason for all the renewed controversy surrounding the flag is because the man charged with killing nine African-Americans in church was seen waving it in photographs. Ok. So any symbol with a strong relation to racism should not be celebrated by the government. Got it?

But last month the New York Times published an opinion piece that none other than Margaret Sanger should be on the $20 bill.

Margaret Sanger didn’t just introduce the idea of birth control into our culture at large, she freed women from indenture to their bodies. Through her activism, Sanger introduced and eventually normalized the discourse about women’s bodies and fertility so women could decide not only when, but if, they would have children. No longer were women’s bodies subject — politically, personally, or medically — to the whims of men. Sanger’s efforts to promote birth control were originally directed toward working class women who were disproportionately affected by a lack of access to reproductive healthcare. When, in 1921, she founded the

If they put Margaret Sanger's image on the $10.00 bill, we should all put stickers on them that say: "To honor the woman who made it her life's work to kill Black people." And then put a quote of hers on the reverse side.

I almost wish they would try putting her on the currency. Once people get a look at what sort of scum she was, this will backfire.

Support for the murder of the unborn outweighs her racism.

The reason she pushed for birth control and abortion was to control the populations of Blacks, Asians, and other people she considered inferior.

She was a major promoter of eugenics. You know, those theories that the Nazis used to kill millions?

No no no! Let them do this! THEN put out the word on her. The Backlash will be epic. If we are lucky, the proponents will end up getting lynched or something. :)

To liberals the right of a woman to murder her unborn is sacred. They literally want no restrictions whatsoever on abortion. You cannot be a liberal if you do not support abortion in all forms at all times.

I will NEVER accept a $20 without Hamilton on it..

Hamilton's on the $10, so that's good that you'd never take a $20 with Hamilton on it.

Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.

What does it all mean?

This is where our English expression, "the handwriting was on the wall" originated.

From the 5th chapter of Daniel in the Old Testament:

25“This is the inscription that was written:

mene, mene, tekel, parsin (other translations have 'upharsin')

26 “Here is what these words mean:

Mene : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought

it to an end.

27 Tekel : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

28 Peres : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

29 Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

30 That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain, 31 and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.

Oh heck!

Why not put multiple pictures on the bill.

You tilt it this way and that to see the different people.

Good way to make it hard to counterfeit; too!

You'd think that 57,000,000 never-to-be-Americans would have had SOME impact by now...
