They should compromise and put Jesse Jackson on the $20 bill.

Yes, because if anything should define American culture, this is where you should start.

Gee, I remember the shootings and the carjacking this thug culture brought. Oh yeah, and lots of dead, injured and victims of other crimes.

The sheer idiocy these days, thanks in large part to the MSM and Hollywood jumping on board.

All while the nation is being gutted ............

“and Treasury will make other changes including “putting leaders of the women’s suffrage movement on the back of the $10 bill, and incorporating civil-rights era leaders and other important moments in American history into the $5 bill”

Translation: We are going to politicize handbills and use them as Leftist leaflets.

Shoot, the way they’re printing money, why not the Jackson 5?

At least they had a couple of good songs.

Jackson was also an opponent of the Central Bank and would not want to be on a Federal Reserve Note.

If Jackson had lost in New Orleans the US would not be a global superpower today and might not exist.

In an era before trains and cars, control of the Mississippi meant the ability to put an economic chokehold on a fledgling country.

Extreme radical leftwing publications like National Review should be ignored on all topics.

“...that honor should rightly belong to Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the most important of all American novels.”

Seriously? I have nothing against Stowe, but writing a book is nothing like risking your life to save others. Also, I can think of many other American women who are, arguably, more influential than Stowe. Besides, Tubman was a “gun-touting Republican” as I saw someone say. It works for me. At least it’s not Eleanor Roosevelt, Margret Sanger, or, heaven forfend, Hillary Clinton.

Personally, I think all faces featured on the dollar bills should be deceased presidents. That narrows the field a lot but still provides room for people like Reagan, Lincoln, FDR and Wilson to be placed on dollar bills.

After Obama dies, he should go on the $3 bill.

so a president and hero is being moved to the back of the bus and replaced by a criminal, fugitive and hero.
can only guess why her portrait is so much larger than those on other denominations.

“Contemporary liberals, of course, focus on his record as a slave-owner and his brutal relocation of Native American tribes from the American South”
The “Native” Americans that were relocated were allowed to take their slaves with them!

I think a good portion of the U.S.A. done kicked Him out.

And we’re seeing what happens. A pResident compared to Jesus Christ, even stealing John 3:16 to run interference for his birth certificate? And he gets elected not once, but twice? All the while pushing garbage and vileness upon the public.

30 years ago, if you told me that would happen, and that people attending church would vote for such a person in massive numbers, I would have laughed in your face.

Today, I am in stunned awe at mass stupidity.
