“Now, back when our great-grandparents were riding that Underground Railroad...”
Moochy Obama, 2012
Yes - she really is that dumb.
Put Ike on the $20. Of course Reagan won’t be allowed by the Democratic Socialists.
It’s just ugly looking.
“Harriet Tubman is a good choice to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill.”
No. She isn’t.
Now there are no Democrats left on our Federal Reserve Notes. The rest, Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton, (now) Tubman, Grant, and Franklin either preceded party politics or were Republicans. Jefferson can stay on the souvenir $2 bills and Obama is logical chose for the proverbial $3 greenback.
Agreed. Our black pastor is a staunch republican and does not like Obama. He said the elephant in the room is that Obama is force feeding the black culture into everything he can before he leaves, to rub raw racial tension after he leaves. Wow!
I have read about Ms. Tubman and her effect of Black History, and agree that she is deserving, but so is Andrew Jackson.
I tend to agree with the pastor. I object to Obamas rub your nose in it attitude, and don’t forget. When he leaves office, he is also leaving the continent to his Mansion in Hawaii. One more way to flip off America when he leaves.
You nailed it.
bkmk
It’s my understanding that Ms. Tubman is buried at the historic cemetery in Auburn, NY. Not sure who else is buried there, probably Seward, as it was his hometown, but someone I knew told me that the Auburn NY Cemetery was designated an Historic Cemetery because there are several persons of historical significance buried there.
I heard that he and the family were staying near or around DC until the youngest daughter graduates from her current high school.
Our currency is becoming like leftist baseball cards...without the gum.
A little history lesson for homeschoolers.
Question for President Obama: Was Harriet Tubman a bitter clinger?
Cool Story Bro.
But that still doesn’t raise Tubman to the level of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.
Listen, if they want to do with currency what they have done with stamps, then fine, change ALL the money! we can have the pictures on our money change every 6 months for all I care.
But have some consistency to it!
You want to have a special printings celebrating the space race, civil rights leaders, great soldiers, famous cartoon characters, pretty birds, or whatever. Great.
But keep it consistent!
Putting Tubman along side the founders is a joke.
It would seem the idiots on the left did not do their homework on Harriet Tubman...Not a liberal icon?
Just admit it. You didn't read the article.
FReegards!
Harriet Tubman was a black, Republican, gun-toting, veterans’ activist, with ninja-like spy skills and strong Christian beliefs. She probably wouldn’t have an ounce of patience for the obtuse posturing of some of the tenured radicals hanging around Ivy League faculty lounges. But does she deserve a place on our money? Hell yeah.
Yes. A gun-toting, God-fearing, freedom-loving escaped slave bent on throwing off the yoke of the tyranny that was slavery, and helping others along the way... What's not to like? I love these things when liberals bring up Harriet Tubman as an icon against slavery. I add those things in, just to let them stew in it. Some actually do get it. I've made a convert or two away from liberalism to conservatism in my adult life.
I need to really bone up on the Socratic method, though. Get them to show themselves they've been lied to, and been lying to themselves for years, and you'll turn 'em.
I wanted Jean Kirkpatrick.
