Andrew Jackson to be replaced on $20 bill?

[alucard13mm]

Why does it matter who's face is it when I stuff it down a stripper's bikini strings???

Feminazi's should use their time more wisely than to worry about putting a woman's face on US currency. Millions of women in dozens of countries are physically abused, mass raped, treated as third class citizen, treated as property and have less rights than women in the west...

We should perhaps form feminists combat units to go fight for their sister's rights in saudi arabia or fight sex trafficking.

Ask her. She's the one straining her eyes at that very moment trying to figure just that out.

Ron Paul needs to be put on the 1000 dollar bill once it is reinstated. heh.

That note, is honest as well. Read carefully.

I did. Seems to me it says nothing at all. The bearer already has a thousand "dollars".

I want to see Sandra Day O'Connor on some currency someday. But I hope she doesn't read that and think I'm in a hurry to see that. But of all the American females I can think of, she deserves it the most.

How about Clara Bow? What could symbolize the modern age better than to honor the first international movie cutie? Or better still, Josephine Baker, the most effective ambassador we ever sent to France? Now that would be a twenty dollar bill worth looking at!

Rosa Parks is a TOOL! The REAL bus activist is Claudette Clovin.

Most people know about Parks and the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott that began in 1955, but few know that there were a number of women who refused to give up their seats on the same bus system. Most of the women were quietly fined, and no one heard much more.

Colvin was the first to really challenge the law.

I guess it is if you demanded 1,000 silver dollars for it at the time.

It has a date of 1934,Roosevelt seized the gold in 1933,so you weren't getting 20 dollar gold pieces in exchange for it.

The Emergency Banking Act of 1933 removed the gold obligation and authorized the Treasury to satisfy these redemption demands with current notes of equal face value (effectively making change).

Instead of replacing Jackson, just make a new $25 dollar bill.

Totally unsurprised that AuH20 is linking to the news pages of a white supremacist / white nationalist organization.

My favorite part of the article:

Organization? Looks more like a dime a dozen blog.

Your Southern Poverty Law Center that you enthusiastically support is an organization. Not sure if they are geared more toward hate or now seen as a joke. Guess it was no joke when that guy shot up the Family Research Council and cited SPLC as a source of information for their "hate" groups.

Seems to me that shooting people is more hateful than a blog.

And for the record--I don't think much of Family Research Council. Right down there with SPLC. Both are sort of joke in my book.

If the same paranoid logic were applied to the opposition to Defend Colorado Now, we would learn that it includes Hispanic pressure groups like La Raza, which are essentially the creation of the Ford Foundation, founded by the notorious anti-Semite Henry Ford, and assorted Marxist revolutionary wannabes. (Except that this would be true.)

At least Flynn acknowledged that John Tanton, in many ways the Godfather of the immigration reform movement, really is a liberal environmentalist who worries about population pressures. I came to the immigration issue from the right—as a journalist writing for Forbes, National Review, even (say it ain`t so!) the immigration-crazed Wall Street Journal—and it was a revelation to me to learn that there are environmentalists who are not just refugee socialists looking for a new excuse to push people around, but who genuinely care about trees.

I like to think that some of my new liberal friends learned that some conservatives are sincere patriots—not just hoofed and horned apologists for Big Business.

But Flynn does go seriously wrong in his mischaracterization of the immigration reform webzine I edit, VDARE.COM, as "white nationalist." This is important, not because we have actually have any links to Defend Colorado Now—a great cause, but one which I`m sorry to say we`ve never really written much about—but because it`s an example of the way in which immigration enthusiasts want to shut down a debate that they know they cannot win.

VDARE.COM is named after Virginia Dare, the first English child—not "white child," as Flynn evocatively puts it—born in the New World, in 1587. (The first white child was probably a Viking, Snorri Porfinnsson. It doesn`t have the same ring.) At a time when Americans were not made to feel guilty about their heritage, every school kid knew who she was. Franklin D. Roosevelt participated in the 350th anniversary celebrations of her birth.

VDARE.COM flowed out of a best-selling book I wrote back in 1995 (!), Alien Nation: Common Sense About America`s Immigration Disaster (It was the subject of a long interview in that well-known white nationalist rag, the Rocky Mountain News—Immigrant`s Book Helping Reshape Immigration Debate, June 18, 1995). Like the immigration reform movement in general, it is a coalition, agreed only on the need for immigration reduction. We have published writers of all races, and most political tendencies—including self-identified "progressives." Much of VDARE.COM is devoted to technical analyses of immigration`s economic impact—for example Edwin S. Rubenstein`s demonstration that jobs in the post-2002 recovery have gone disproportionately to immigrants, while black unemployment has actually risen. (See The Employment Bus: Immigrants Drive, Blacks Sit in the Back, June 22, 2006) We are certainly politically incorrect—but the merest glance would show that we are not "white nationalist."

OK?

Now I will boldly go etc. We also publish on VDARE.COM a few writers, for example Jared Taylor, whom I would regard as “white nationalist,“ in the sense that they aim to defend the interests of American whites. They are not white supremacists. They do not advocate violence. They are rational and civil. They brush their teeth. But they unashamedly work for their people—exactly as La Raza works for Latinos and the Anti-Defamation League works for Jews.

Get used to it. As immigration policy drives whites into a minority, this type of interest-group "white nationalism" will inexorably increase.

You read it first on VDARE.COM—and if you don`t like it, let`s have an immigration moratorium now.

Make it a $42 and put Chester Arthur and Gerald Ford on it.

Based upon all that America has come to stand for at present, here are the two finalists:

[willwash]

Rosa Parks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> trail of tears orchestrator Andrew Jackson. But frankly American money isn't going to be worth spit soon anyway.

I used to feel that way about Jackson, until I realized the evil nature of debt and international banking, and he is the only president to successfully eliminate both. That alone makes him top five in my book, though he's taken down a peg or two by the Trail of Tears, ignoring the Supreme Court, and his stronghanded tactics against nullification.

But banking is so incredibly, indescribably evil, that he still wins a top five position for his accomplishments there. Jefferson is still no. 1.

The original definition of a "dollar" was a fixed weight in gold. The bearer has a piece of paper that the government promises to redeem for said lawful money, ie gold.

And silver and gold certificates said so. But as I noted, this early FRN doesn't say that. It basically is mealy-mouthed, and says nothing specific at all.

What is your alternative definition for advocating a government that prohibits immigration and marriage to non-whites?

Andrew Jackson broke up the 2nd national bank of the United States. A VERY BIG DEAL despite his Indian abuses. Rosa Parks was a busrider while Jackson was battling with the notorious banking head Nicholas Biddle. We all know the joke about him being on a FRN.

You don't brush genocide/mass murder, land theft, and violating constiutional powers by ignoring the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of the Natives. No matter how much he hated central banks. The man was a tyrant.

If you check out H20's other posts, you'll understand why he has very little concern for how the natives were treated.

If you're so concerned about banking because of the threat it poses to a people, how can the LITERAL destruction of a people & their property only be considered minor dents to Jackson's legacy?

What kind of accomplishment is it to make a top 5 list of all-time greatest presidents anyways? That's like saying John Wayne Gacy is better than Ted Bundy because Gacy didn't murder as many people.

Ha ha; check out one of RPF's extreme progressives trying to fly under the radar here and sow division in a thread. Neg rep.

I wonder if a $20 FRN today would even buy a ticket on Rosa's old bus route.

I find way too many on here that seemingly don't understand Andrew Jackson,loving him for fighting central banks and ignoring the fact that he did what Alex JOnes always seems to be saying Barack Obama is just days away from doing.

Huh? Which Native Americans are we referring to? The 'Five Civilized Tribes' that the Jackson Administration violated? Or are we referring to the likes of the Comanche who were brutal, sadistic killers? There are two faces to the Native American story in this country.

I call that freedom of association as opposed to forced integration. Those are not features of a white nationalist platform.
