From C. Steven Tucker-
Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Jonathan Greenberg with the Haym Salomon Center. I am ashamed to admit that I did not know Haym Salomon’s story. There is a statue of him with our first president General George Washington in downtown Chicago.
WHAT A PATRIOT! We owe this guy everything. There should be a national holiday in his name.

For those of us who have the displeasure of not being exposed to this man, let’s all learn together.
I haven’t clicked the link yet, and I’m eager to dive in.
We all can’t know everybody or everything
There’s our nation’s Jewish heritage. What a great man.
But, But, Obama says……islam is interwoven into the American experience.
Well, they were……they were pirates stealing transported goods, ships, selling or murdering the captured crews as slaves.
Quite a history of deceit, deception, theft, corruption, destruction and enslavement, just as today (see Obama’s administration).
I remember reading about him years ago, but I can’t recall where. I don’t think it was in any of my school books.
I think I heard about him in a documentary some time ago.
Not this one, it was an older one:

There is also a 1939 movie about him called Sons of Liberty.
Good! Interesting post…thanks!!
i’ve told lots of people about haym salomon over the years……if that’s a true-to-life statue, they should get oscar isaac to play his part in the movie…… 🙂
A Jew in finance!
Who woulda thunk it?
American Hero Haym Solomon is one of many reasons why an honest, objective historian will say America was founded on Judeo-Christian values, NOT on “Islamo-Christian values”.
Cato nailed it – the only effect the Filthy Mohammedan Savages ever had on early American history is from the Mohammedans’ thieving, rape, plundering and piracy of our American vessels engaged in commerce. President Jefferson kciked their Filthy Mohammedan asses when he sent over a few warships and an expeditionary force of US Marines. Where the hell do Leftists think the line in the Marine Hymn “…to the shores of Tripli…” came from? They didn’t add that line just for the hell of it. FUCK Obama and his Mohammedan Taqqiya tactics.
