Good example of Ted Cruz's intellectual leadership

He said don't change the 10 dollar bill with Hamilton. Put Rosa Parks on the 20 to replace Andrew Jackson.

Harriet Tubman is being placed on the $20 bill today so this seems timely.

Cruz's advocacy was largely followed on this issue.

Why are they doing this? Seriously? The millions that they will spend to create a new design, counterfeit bill is ridiculous!

Ask for all your change in $5’s, $10’s, and singles. Boycott $20’s out of existence like the “Susie B” and the “Sacagehwaya” (sp?).

Jackson was a towering he-man. Why replace him at all?

Because, Republicans are cowards, and to paraphrase, no one seems to care about “the Republic for which it stands.”

They should put a woman on the $50 bill. Because...well just because it seems fitting.

OK, here’s the trivia question of the day, besides being a woman and black, what did Harriet Tubman do that was as significant as Andrew Jackson’s contribution?

I nominate Margaret Sanger, we could even have some real cute slogans on the bill.

Killing the undesirables before they are born.

Liberal lies on Harriet Tubman made her out to be some sort of heroine. The truth be: Never helped free slaves - only slaves she did help were her own relatives and some that she knew very well. Perhaps maybe seventy in total. The highest reward offered for her was $100. Maybe she should have been put on a hundred dollar bill instead. http://www.harriettubmanbiography.com/harriet-tubman-myths-and-facts.html

Tubman is a much better choice than Parks.

Parks was an activist who with her confederates preconceived the situation with an eye to publicity and creating controversy.

Tubman was a woman who was just trying to help a select few people because she could. That most of those people were part of her extended family just confirms that she was not doing it for publicity or to create a movement.

“Intellectual leadership”? Throwing American History down the memory hole in favor of affirmative action and PC? Look how far we’ve fallen.

Well now that we got a black and woman on currency, we need more equality across the board. We need a Hispanic so put Ceasar Chavez on the $5. We need an Asian and LGTB, so put George Tekai on the $10. We need a special needs person, so Helen Keller goes on the $50. For the Native American, running bull gets the $100.

Purpose: Not to help blacks like 0bama will portray it; he cares not for them. To lessen our standing in the world, which in turn will also have folks looking at the $20 bill a little differently; this is even chipping away at the thought of getting rid of currency...closer to electronic only. There will be fools, white apologists, white guilt folks who think it is great. Russia, Japan, China, other countries will say, Tubman? Who is that?

I liked Cruz’s answer back at that debate. Dems are gungho for this nonsense, make them replace a dem.

And so they have, I’m glad they decided to eff over Jackson instead of Hamilton. It seems the Treasury Department can just do this by itself? That’s not cool. Damn bureaucrats have too much discretionary power. Like the EPA banning popular over the counter asthma medicine.

Well we know they can’t replace Franklin on the $100. After all, its all about the Benjamins.
