*sigh*
Book...
Ping.
>> The Pioneer Woman walks with hope and foresight and carries a positive energy, she said.
Yes, she does... because she carries the Word of God in her hand, and in her heart.
Why oh why are we so concerned about holding the Koran in the proper esteem... and so unconcerned about embracing the Word of God, which has carried us so far as a nation?
So we have to lie on the image, ignoring the reality that the statue includes a Bible, in order to appease the PC crowd. Lovely.
Maybe it's the Sears catalog.
I grew up climbing it too. Love it!
The anti-christians in our government strike again. It obviously isn’t politically correct to portray this heroic woman if there is any suggesion she is a Christian.
“That “Bood” is a prominent part of the sculpture.”
I spent quite a few seconds trying to determine exactly what a “Bood” might be.
This is a sharp change in Mint policy from the days when dimes with the slogan "In God We Trust" were illustrated with the god Mercury.
Fred Thompson wrote about the changing of history. Worth the read.

And the same censors are at work as those at the WW2 memorial. The same disowners of our nations history that failed to include FDRs final words...”so help us God”
revolting that we cannot even respect our past, and our once open reverence to our God
So I am guessing that the Utah quarter will not show a Book of Mormon.
Oh; a stern, forward looking lady, making sure her child gets a proper education, by dragging him, protesting every step of the way, to school; and carrying the “nasty” book his Liberal teacher asigned....
Some things never change.
Believe it or not, but that is NOT Mercury; it is “Winged Liberty”; though, commonly miscalled “Mercury”.
Good guess. It has two locomotive engines, the Golden Spike, and the legend Crossroads of the West. At least it does according to the online illustration I found by googling “Utah quarter” (it comes out in 2007 but I haven’t seen an actual Utah quarter yet—I think it will be released near the end of the year).
I must say that I found the WW2 menorial underwhelming. The one way out in (?)Bedford, Virginia is much better.
The image I got from the facial expressions is that she is dragging him to the woodshed and she’s going to wallop him with the book since it was the first thing she grabbed.
