Honestly and IMO, the most important woman in U.S. history is Sacajawea, instead these leftist bastards want what, a leftist theme?

Will it be Susan B. Anthony or Harriet Tubman? Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks? Or another important woman from American history?

These will be among the names the nation ponders after the Obama administration's announcement late Wednesday that a woman will be featured on the $10 bill, the first time in well over a century that a female portrait will grace the United States' paper money.

The redesigned bill will be unveiled in 2020 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the right of women to vote. The Treasury Department is launching a massive public campaign to solicit suggestions through social media and town halls for what the bill should look like and who should be on it. The only requirements for candidacy are that the woman be deceased and embody the theme of the bill's new look: "Democracy."

Federalist publisher Ben Domenech has a few stinging remarks on the why of removing Hamilton at all, in a vigorous defense of "the righteous bastard" who created our money system....

Quote

Hamilton recognized Burr as a man without principle, bent on power for powers sake, who hated the Founding Fathers even as he envied their influence. He would recognize our current leadership today for its similarities. This administration has made Hamilton a casualty of the era of daily venal vituperation of people who do not care about history. We live in an era where the demands of a minor social justice warrior Twitter mob which insists upon a foothold in American currency and a casting aside of our history in favor of the priorities of modern identity politics, and under the leadership of an elite which does not care that they are wrong—and in fact is so bold as to use that to their advantage. And thus, our orphan immigrant Founding Father who fought to abolish the slave trade at the Constitutional Convention is deemed insufficient as a fulfillment of our progressive self-actualization process.

It seems so fitting in catering to our modern ignorance: Obama's choice of which American to remove from money is the man who invented American money: "America's currency makes a statement about who we are and what we stand for as a nation," said Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. And what this statement indicates is that Jack Lew is a historical ignoramus if he believes that Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks or Wilma Mankiller deserves to be on American currency more than Alexander Hamilton. Does not Caitlyn Jenner deserve it more than all of them combined? Indeed, by this standard, do not all the dead white men deserve to be replaced? Mollie Hemingway has a few suggestions on this point.

Back in 2009, during the height of the Tea Party, there were crotchety old Americans who warned in dark tones about the dangers of this president. He was a socialist, they said, and feckless to boot. He hated the American founding and the men who built the foundations of this country. He would lead us into war and ruin and despair, and he would tear down the monuments to our heroes along the way. He was anti-American through and through, in ways that us youngsters did not understand. I would disagree as politely as possible. The president is wrong about policy, wrong about direction, I said at the time, but he is not a socialist, not someone who hates America. He may have the wrong ideas, but his heart was still in the right place, or close to it.

Is it possible they were right, and I was wrong?

One point he makes that I find impossible to argue with is this: among all the women in U.S. history who have contributed to this nation, who among them contributed more than Hamilton? Why are we downgrading him with a lesser replacement (which in this case happens to be a woman but more importantly it isn't Hamilton).

Why are we allowing a Treasury Secretary to arbitrarily rewrite our history, while serving his foreign-thinking anti-American leader?

Personally what I see as the even bigger problem, the lefts insistence that we are somehow a Democracy.
We need to be screaming every time Democracy is mentioned in context with our Republic.
They are trying to gut our history by elevating women that did nothing more than rebel against the modern culture during their time.

Well Hell, if that's their criteria, then let's just put Bruce Jenner on the front of a Ten, and Kaitlin on the rear.... No pun intended.

The MEN did nothing more than rebel against the modern culture during their time. The ladies were not alone!

The Susan B. Anthony was a legitimate attempt to recognize women's contributions. So close in size to our 25-cent piece, it soon fell into obscurity...not due to its intent but its design. Jack Lew intimates that they may have alternating versions of the tenner, which sounds like he's channeling Babe Ruth stamps at the Post Office. I'm old-fashioned in believing that our currency is less faddish than the stamp we buy for the one thing we do mail every year --- to the government.

It isn't the gender, it's the history.

Why do you keep missing the real point? They are attempting to erase history by claiming we are a Democracy, when nothing could be further from the truth?

The women issue is nothing more than distraction, a tool to achieve their end goal of killing off a Republican form of Govt.

I see Lew backing down to offer an alternate to DEMOCRACY on the bill. Congress will definitely have a say in that (Obama highhandedness or not). It's not that I am ignoring it, I just don't think it's going to get realized. If anything the new bill should look like this....



OF COURSE the left erases history. How else do voters forget the Carter Administration and elect a chump who's even worse?

It would have to be a historical woman-of-action, if any are worthy of replacing Hamilton.  Dragging proportionality into the discussion, Sacagawea comes closest. 

Libs can't rewrite History around her. 

Whereas Tubman ran something... and libs totally overlook the fact that her organization shot slaves-who-chicken'd-out. 

HAMILTON TAKEN IN LEW OF A DEMOCRAT
Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, the first Treasury secretary, will be demoted from his place on the $10 bill. Why Hamilton? A previous petition argued that President Andrew Jackson, founder of the modern Democratic Party and slave owner, should be removed from the $20 bill, but Wednesday Treasury Secretary Jack Lew decreed that Hamilton would take the fall. Hamilton spent his whole life preserving the currency while Jackson did everything he could to break the big banks. While the reasoning behind the decision seems unclear it's safe to say it's not going over so well.

Did the leftists bite off more than they can chew? People are not happy with change (pocket change, that is), especially where the Marxists are concerned.

If we're going to have a woman's picture on money, can we have Pamela Anderson?


Maybe not.  Actually, she's from Canada (Vancouver).

But then, Alexander Hamilton was originally from Bermuda.

Mona Charen wrote an article saying that we should keep Hamilton on the $10, but dump Jackson from the $20.  She can be found at JewishWorldReview.com.

Hamilton was the first Treasury Secretary.  He was a key figure in America's founding by making the government financially secure right from the start. 
(Unlike Obama, who's a key figure in America's destruction by making the government financially unstable.)

Hmm.  Maybe that explains the proposed change.  They don't want anything that could remind people of THAT contrast!

Jackson advocated and signed the Indian Relocation Act, which led to the "Trail of Tears."  He opposed state nullification of federal law, which led to the Civil War.  John Quincy Adams bitterly opposed Jackson.

But then Jackson did oppose a central bank, so that's probably a good thing.

More games that our leaders play. Why change our money for an unknown.

The women would of won the right to vote by sleeping on the couch....
Eventually...

How about...



Killing two birds with one stone, as it were.

(Lord, I apologize and be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea, Amen!)

No they probably want margaret sanger, famed socialist Eugenicists, racist, and genocide proponent who created planned parenthood.

That said, there's all kinds of ladies who have done a lot more for our nation, that deserve that honor. Than anyone of these libs.

And ya know it happens to me, now that I think about it, I wouldn't put it past them to want Clinton on there. To go along with the Clinton two dollar bill. LOL

Susan B Anthony did not fair very well on the $1 coin.  They may try to resurrect her image on paper currency.

Kroz coin currency hasn't fared well period. Most people don't like coin currency at all, because of the fact that in part at least, it's more cumbersome to carry fifty dollars in quarters dimes and nickels and pennies, than it is to carry four or five pieces of paper folded up. LOL

Besides, why the push to put any "new" currencies out? I thought our gov wants us all to go to a cashless society anyhow.

I know that's the reason they gave, when they forced everyone to get things like Social Security payments, or VA payments direct deposited, electronically. To then be drawn off using a card.

Rather than sending a paper check so ya can go to the bank and cash that.
