PatriotRetort: You know, it’s always a bad idea to read anything posted at Salon.com. The only thing worse than going to Salon.com is reading anything by Amanda Marcotte at Salon.com. Reading her stuff, I can feel my IQ dropping with each paragraph. According to the latest drivel from the intellectually-challenged Marcotte is the claim
that we conservatives are having a meltdown over removing Andrew Jackson from the twenty dollar bill and replacing him with Harriet Tubman.
Really?
We’re having a meltdown? I’m not having a meltdown. Are you? MORE
When Lady Liberty is replaced on our gold and silver coins then it’s time to have a meltdown, as in melt down the coins. Otherwise, meh, it’s a piece of paper.
Nope, not even a warming much less a melt. The picture change doesn’t devalue the bill anymore than it has been. Changing from Sawbucks to Tubbies is one of the ‘lesser’ items to be focused on now-a-days.
Harriet Tubman does not deserve to be on any of our currency and hopefully Trump will abort this abomination.
As soon as it is issued, a reporter will “find” a Tubman that has been defaced, thus confirming once again what a racist country this is.
Guaranteed.
Harriet Tubman was said to be a crack shot with a rifle. If she was alive today, she’d be a conservative and a member of the NRA. No meltdown here.
@LocoBlancoSaltine: Not to worry – This guy will be on it quicker than you can say, “Aunt Jemima”:

Excellent Vietvet.
Always a fan of currency and art.
I assume you have seen the Hobo Nickels that have been around awhile?
Just like transgendered bills, this is another attempt to get republican voters revved up. The purpose is to distract and divide. More of the “war on women” shit. Don’t fall for it. We have bigger fish to fry.
Bathroom bills, Harriet Tubman, the purpose is to divide us and call us bigots. Don’t fall for this “war on women” shit again. We have bigger fish to fry
Sorry, my network is acting up
Tubman was a gun-toting, Bible-thumping Republican Christian conservative woman fighting oppression by wealthy elite white Democrats like…Andrew Jackson.
Can’t wait to see the new bills.
Harriet Tubman was a conservative, gun toting abolishonist. What’s not to like? THIS conservative prefers Tubman to the Democrat Jackson.
Trump doesn’t want women on money, and he wants men in the girls room. Is it any wonder 70% of women say they won’t vote for him?
I’d be upset if they ever put Bill Clinton on a 20. I’d be broke. Some bimbo would come along and just blow it.
It would be delightful if the Kruzites stuck to the post’s subject.
I don’t have a problem, famous US citizen from back when big money Democrats were slave holders, they still are.
The $20 looks fine, it will be the same worth won’t it. You know how the Dims shortchange women.

OpenTheDoor,
Go read Dianny’s article if you think I was off topic.
Want to me go on a goose chase? You could at least give me a reach around with a linky Stinky.
Poor etiquette.
@LocoBlancoSaltine: You mean the ones that have been around for about a hundred years or so? : ) Yes, I have – even got one in change many decades ago, although it was a pretty crude specimen and not worth saving. Do you know you can even buy replicas of them today?

Uhhh…..sorry, thought you knew.

Vietvet, in 2007 the Florida United Numismatists along with Heritage Auctions of Dallas had a large Hobo collection for sale.
I still have the catalog. Quality stuff.
Plus they had all kinds of currency.
$500 bills, $1000, etc.
It is a great free convention, open to the public if you ever get a chance.
It is usually in Orlando the second weekend of the year.
If you run, the Disney marathon, half, 5k, & 10k are the same weekend.
Open the Door–no one made fun of the guy with the Lhasa apso crazy glued to the top of his head, so why do you feel the need to start? It’s not always about The Donald® you know and for you if it is, perhaps you getting a life is in order.
@LocoBlancoSaltine: Sounds like a cool convention, but I’ve reached the age where I’ve begun working on how to get rid of the stuff I have, instead of acquiring more junk for my heirs to try to dispose of after I’ve shuffled off this mortal coil (as someone famously said). If I lived nearby, I might just visit the show like I would a museum, but I don’t. So…
P.S. – Run? What is this “run” you speak of?
😉
I propose all U.S. paper currency should have a huge engraving of a gun on the front.
Couldn’t we have Halle Berry play Harriet Tubman in a movie and put Halle on the 20?
I still think Ayn Rand should be on US currency somewhere, just to watch Libtard heads go ‘splody.
Gosh. Why can’t we allow the Dhimmirats to replace the genocidal founder of the Dhimmicratic party–who was also responsible for appointing a judge that would decide in favor of the Dred Scott decision–with a pro-gun Christian Republican?
Alewitz, the artist commissioned to create the new image on the bill, said that “he would not disarm Harriet Tubman” when asked to replace a rifle with a staff in his image of her likeness. Hah!!
