There were no Republicans in 1804.

Say nothing and let ‘em erase whatever historic figures they want to erase. Then they will erase Jesus, “Bull O’Conner, Robert E. Lee, George Wallace, Ronald Reagan and the list will continue to grow. They’re now working on erasing the Confederate flag. If they’re not stopped, they will re-write history to suit their goals.

Jesus said .... “Who’s Jesus?”

Ronald Reagan did.... “Who’s Ronald Reagan?”

George Wallace was a racist democrat.... “Who’s George Wallace?”

Democrat Bull O’Conner sic’d police dogs on blacks.... Who’s Bull O’Conner.

Spain didn’t do that. American Communists named themselves the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and went to fight on the Communist side (against Franco & the Catholics) in the Spanish Civil War.

“[American Indians] have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition. Established in the midst of another and a superior race, and without appreciating the causes of their inferiority or seeking to control them, they must necessarily yield to the force of circumstances and ere long disappear.”

Jackson was correct. Indian cultures were stone-age in all senses of the word. They would, and did, disappear in the face of modernity. The 19th Century did not have the quant, late 20th century idea that cultures must (or even could be) preserved in amber, like museum artifacts.

there are a few lugees i’m holding in reserve for similar deployment.

unfortunately, their targets are still above ground.

So, what is it about Hamilton that would make the LEFT now choose him over the $20 ..??

[GunHoardingCapitalist]

No, we need to replace him with a true american hero like Caitlin Jenner. Barf!!

[Vendome]

Idiots...

[PGR88]

Jackson deserves to be on the $20 just for his accomplishments regarding the central bankers.

We need another Jackson now for just that purpose.

> More fiction from another lying liberal.

But they get you yo consider that it could happen. Incrementalism tactics 101. How I hate te Alinskytes. Its fitting that SA dedicated Rules for Radicals to Lucifer. Fits perfectly.

[Mr. K]

I was reading and thinking how absolutely nuts this sounded, and then I saw the link was to MSNBC - and I thought “Oh... that explains it”

[atc23]

Deadline looming. Some pretty young girl wanting her chair at MSNBS. Editor says : " Gimme something by 2PM, you old nag" - or its your job!!!!"

hmmmmm. What's popular? Got it! White men! Everyone hates them! - but where do I find one? All the ones I knew threw me over for someone younger! - oh ! a twenty dollar bill!

[CyberAnt]

Don’t be ignorant .. the REPUBLICAN IDIOLOGY .. WAS NOT FORMALLY ORGANIZED .. BUT IT SURELY WAS PRESENT DURING THE FORMING OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

OTHERWISE .. WE WOULD HAVE HAD A SOCIALST NIGHTMARE.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Just another commie liberal slut whack job.

[reg45]

I think that Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist, as was John Adams.

[jsanders2001]

I think this would be more fitting :

[Olog-hai]

There was a reason why I capitalized “Republican”.

And what are you shouting for?

[Still Thinking]

Not particularly troubling per se. It's not like I didn't know "liberals" were fools until they started doing this. Infuriating, maybe.

[stillfree?]

It’s a good thing there aren’t big problems in the world, so we can concentrate on this BS.
