One final point: I oppose this move to remove Jackson for the same reason that I oppose removing monuments to Confederate commanders. Not because I’m particularly dedicated ideologically to either Jackson or the Confederacy, but because if you let the PC left tear down the memories of Jackson or of Confederate commanders, that will embolden their broader agenda. The PC Left has no more use for George Washington (another “racist slave owner”) than they do for Robert E. Lee or Andrew Jackson. The latter are just easier targets for them to tear down in their march forward. If we let them replace Jackson with Tubman today, 20 years from now they’ll be replacing Washington with Cesar Chavez.

Agree on all points with your posts 61 and 63. As I indicate, I'm a fan of Jackson's action in the War of 1812 and not a fan of uprooting the Indians in that particular instance, but as with all things Democrat, messing with our money is an evil solution to a non-problem. You nail it when you point out that this is their usual campaign to control our future by destroying our memory of our past.

I think it was Cicero who said, "Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain a child."

Democratic activists hate actual children--they kill them in the womb and lie to them in school. They spend their energy trying to make functional children out of adults.
