Outrageous And Uncalled For: Harriet Tubman Wins Vote For Possible Face On $20 Bill

[Pogo]

She will only hold the place on the twenty dollar bill until Obama is ready to take it

Good Lord! Do you think Political Correctness will reach the point of celebrating abject failure?

No. Don't worry, you won't be on a bill.

Neither will Tubman or any of those women. They are footnotes of American history.

And Andrew Jackson is --- what?

 

[oldernwiser]

I think he deserves it for being a Indian killer. That's one hell of a good reason combined withhis defeat of the British.

So, you think presidents should be disreputable scumbags who lie and violate the law of the land?

Obviously YOU voted for Obama.....

The Indians were in the way of progress for Whites of European heritage. They had to go.

And so, the reason for your outrage is based on a total lack of historical knowledge and your feeling of racial supremacy.

I guess my work here is done.

This is down right insanity. It boils down between her, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks or some Cherokee squaw named Wilma Mankiller, all women. This is a slap in the face to Andrew Jackson. He saved this nations sovereignty from being lost at the Battle of New Orleans. This shows once again how political correctness is ruining this nation.

LA Times

A). The Battle of New Orleans was won after the the War of 1812 was officially over.

B). Andrew Jackson was against paper money.


You might consider brushing up on your U.S. History

What's wrong with keeping Jackson? He whipped the British (Who torched the White House) at New Orleans and kept this nation from falling in the hands of a foreign sovereignty. In essence, he preserved our freedoms. He is a patriotic iconic figure to look up to. Those women belong on a stamp or something else.

Actually, the battle of New Orleans happened after the war was over. It was a victory, but ultimately pointless.

Yet he was a national hero.

Never said otherwise. Just pointing out you were wrong. I think Tubman is an excellent choice. She has my vote.

Tubman?! By the time time this comes to realization, if it does, you might as well select Sharpton. You can use my avatar if you wish.

Yep. Fantastic lady. One of the great heroic figures of our nation. A true icon. Couldn't be a better choice.

Iconic figures my ass. She was nothing but a nappy headed......probably very stinking negress.

A heroic man who made president deserving to stay on the $20 bill.

Lapsing into a feudal system of corrupt nobility was anything but progress. The ideals of liberty were crushed under slithering bellies of the autocratic snakes.

Indians didn't believe in liberty.

You're simply not stupid enough to believe your own bullshit.

McRacist is gonna be featured on the IOU note.
Along with those bogus quotes in his sigline.

Ten countries that beat the US to putting women on paper currency

--- including Syra, Turkey, and perhaps the coolest one is:
...Frida Kahlo, Mexico

In the United States, there is no shortage of notable women, but bank notes haven't been updated since 1929, nine years after women gained the right to vote. All of the paper money in the United States features men -- nine presidents, two former treasury secretaries and one Benjamin Franklin.

There's only ever been one woman featured on a piece of paper American money. That was Martha Washington, who appeared on the "silver certificates" in 1886, 1891, and 1896, according to Lydia Washington, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.

There has never been an African American of either gender.

LMAO!! Poor Stevie. His brand of lunacy is losing by leaps and bounds.

What does it matter who is on the $20 bill? But I think we are long over due for some face that reflects the nation.

A tired crack whore on food stamps may be a bit much, if you get my drift.

Why do have to drag family into this?

I want to see it happen just to watch Stevie the Racist's head explode.

 

[J.E.D]

I didn't realize there were any crackwhores nominated. Seems to me those women were all accomplished and famous in their own rights.

You were the one who said "reflects the nation". Old famous and accomplished white men are overly represented, so we can go in the opposite direction, for balance. Wadda you think?

I think the nominees are all good ones.

What's wrong with keeping Jackson? He whipped the British (Who torched the White House) at New Orleans and kept this nation from falling in the hands of a foreign sovereignty. In essence, he preserved our freedoms. He is a patriotic iconic figure to look up to. Those women belong on a stamp or something else.

According to the history books, that battle may have been needless. The Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812, was signed on the very same day the New Orleans battle began. As heroic as Jackson might have been, he did NOT keep his nation from "falling into the hands of a foreign sovereignty". The British couldn't afford to keep a war going in 2 paces at the same time and the French were a lot more of a problem. They gave up all claim to America at that point.

On the other hand, what did the heroic Jackson do following his election? Wasn't he personally responsible for breaking nearly every treaty signed with Natives? Didn't he begin the Trail of Tears and drive the Natives off their ancestral lands and into worthless desert and certain poverty? Didn't he begin the country's very 1st welfare system (having food delivered to the reservations where the Natives could no longer hunt or grow their own food), however scant and irregular it was? THIS is a guy worthy of the honor of being pictured on a US banknote?

I know that honest facts seem to get in the way of our thinking sometimes, so ignore this if you feel in any way threatened.

To hell with the injuns and YES HE IS worthy of being on a banknote. It is why he's there in the first place.

Shut up, pussy

 

[Desperado]

So she won a straw vote. Nothing written in stone.
If winning a straw vote meant something Ron Paul would be President today.

The single biggest factor that contributes to ruining this nation is people like you.

Steve and Meathead reflect what Rosa, Harriet, and Wilma have been pulling down. The nationa makes moral progress.

 

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

Why on Earth are they considering changing ? I mean big deal if they put Tubman on our currency, but it's a different matter entirely if they just up and decided "oh we need a woman, let's get rid of Jackson"

That is stupid.

Jackson was against the central bankers and a national hero. Tubman didn't do shit worthy of anything to deserve national status.
