Actually, I am pleased to see Harriet Tubman on the bill.
I will then use that picture as a conversation starter on Christ, on the Republican Party, on the 2nd Amendment, or on self-sacrifice; as the need fits.
There will be a lot of liberals who will rue the day her picture was put on the twenty.
I especially like the line of removing the founder of the Democratic Party and replacing him with a gun owning, Christian, member of the Republican Party.

I personally don't have a problem with her replacing Jackson. With help form other Christians, Tubman helped set up the underground railroad that freed thousands of slaves. I also hold Jacksomn indirectly responsible for the death of another great American, Davey Crockett.
I don't mean to take anything away from Jackson, who was the hero of the battle of New Orleans, even if the war of 1812 was technically over before the battle even began. However, his greatness has always been greatly exaggerated.
Just look into history and you will see how Jackson was the Washington establishment of the day to the then outsider Crockett, long before we realized the establishment was not good for America.
I won't even get into one of the most heinous crimes in American history called the "trail of Tears", that Jackson was directly responsible for. After all, when the left attacks the US for being cruel to the Indians, we can thank Jackson.

I agree. What the “liberals” intended as an “up yours” will turn right back on them.
Whatever Jackson did, it wasn’t to help what might have been America’s biggest sin.

Oh, by the way, that picture is not Harriet Tubman though.
I did not find out till someone I work with told me. So to set the record straight;
The woman in the picture is actually a 60 year old post office stage coach driver Mary Fields. AKA Stagecoach Black Mary (c. 18321914.
I guess she was the first African-American woman employed as a mail carrier in the United States and the second woman to work for the United States Postal Service.
Mary Fields stood 6 feet tall and weighed about 200 lbs. She liked to smoke cigars, and was once said to be as “black as a burnt-over prairie.” She usually had a pistol strapped under her apron and a jug of whiskey by her side.
Few Indians or robbers messed with her due to her reputation of shooting first and asking questions later. She retired and lived to be 80.

I will then use that picture as a conversation starter on Christ, . . Jesus asked, "Whose image is on the coin?" It has historically been rulers. Now, we'll have to give our money to NAACP instead of the ruler.
