I dislike the idea of change for the sake of change, or change for the sake of meaningless appeasement, even on something as silly as this, but she is a good choice if it just has to be done.

It's still a looooooooooooong way from being printed.

The only thing that chaps my hide is going after Jackson, who was an asshole, but an awesome asshole. He's not "cool" with the elite though.

I'd rather they just do a series like they did with state quarters. Those were fun to collect.

"Evil" is in the eye of the beholder.  Some believe eating meat and owning a gun is "evil".  Further, those who thought the situation evil had the same access to the political process to change that evil as anyone else.

Also, had the South freed all the slaves - who do you expect to feed, clothe, and shelter them?  Remember, there was no welfare or EBT card back then.

Lastly, the North's hands were not clean of this evil - yet they did nto "get around" to doing anything about it until after the War of Northern Aggression.

One cannot defeat evil by being evil, and a government of a federation MUST be bound by its duly passed laws  - not exceed them.  Otherwise, limited government does not exist.

You do know you are on a gun board, - right?  You just going to hand yours over, when the ruling class decides that they are "evil"?


The transgressions of the North notwithstanding, you are comparing owning people as property with dietary choices and God-given rights to self defense.

If you DON'T believe that owning people as chattel is objectively evil, you're all kinds of fucked up.

Show me one anti-gay bakery that also discriminates STRAIGHT couples in getting wedding cakes. What if they aren't getting married in a church? What if they aren't even Christian? What if they are leading a sinful life style?  Or any one of the 101 reasons you might disapprove of two people getting married.  But it is the CHURCHES job to figure out if two people can marry - NOT the BAKER.

how would the baker know in any of those cases? And if a baker had done so and the couple not made a fuss about it, how would we know?

Furthermore - You aren't giving up your religious beliefs because you made wedding cake for gays, because WEDDINGS ARE NOT ONLY A RELIGIOUS ACT and CAKE has NOTHING to do with the wedding, it is for the RECEPTION afterwards. A wedding cake is a party cake. Pure and simple. And I don't need any self righteous moron making me fill out a 50 page questioner to find out if I am free of sin enough to buy a fucking cake.

So there you go - tell you homophobe bakers to STFU and do their jobs. it's a party cake and since party cakes you said are OK, then there should be no problem.

If a gay couple wants to marry, heck, whatever floats their boat as far as I'm concerned.  I've seen enough screwed up traditional male/female marriages to know that theres' nothing magical about all the parts being able to fit.   The problem comes in when these people went to the Bakery and demanded the proprietors give up their religious beliefs and conform with the gay beliefs of others.  The bakery was NOT discriminating against them for being gay: if this gay couple asked for a birthday cake with balloon decorations instead there wouldn't have been any issue.  You know that and so do I.

Both those were more LBJ's fault.

MLK was a much more significant actor in US events. If I was going to select someone to put on the $20 it would probably be Reagan or perhaps Polk for taking all that land Mexico claimed but failed to settle. Tubman was a minor actor in events. She was purely at the tactical level.

The law was agreed to by the legislative branch authorized to do so, and was congruent with the Constitution at the time.  The Federal government was to enforce all the laws, all the time.  The FF would have no agreement with anything the Union did.  After all, they had practiced secession themselves.

Plus there is the troubling little detail, for you position, that the North did not stop enforcing that immoral law amongst themselves, even whilst they were allegedly fighting against it in the South, and allowed it to end in the North at its own pace and without violence - a privilege they declined to extend to the South.

All these years, all these threads, the same tired old bullshit that makes you look clueless. The "North" (i.e. the United States Government) reacted in response to an armed and hostile insurrection.

There were political factions opposed to Slavery, yes. The largest of these had formed a political party and won the presidency. Slavery, however, was an academic issue in light of the pressing reality of an armed pseudo country within U.S. borders, one that made clear it was not going away without a fight.

But, you know this. in other threads you've even used quotes from that time in attempts to "prove" Lincoln wasn't opposed to slavery. You just don't seem to be able to connect the dots.

Despite Tubman's undoubted place in history and who is worthy of honor, this pretty much sums it up.

Why are we displacing people who have been on these notes for decades, simply for the sake of doing it?  For change?  Why, exactly?

The re-tooling argument has some merit, assuming that they could still have security updates and this Braille thing they're on at the moment without re-tooling everything anyway.

I just don't understand why the government finds it necessary to change this and change that, for virtually no reason.  I mean, it's analogous to saying "hmm, I think we should replace the stars on the American flag with asterisks.  After all, the stars have had their run and we should change it up a little."  It's fucking dumb.

Want something more useful?  Make a new bill.  $200 or something and put Tubman on it, or whoever you want.  But this is ridiculous.

But, you know this. in other threads you've even used quotes from that time in attempts to "prove" Lincoln was. it opposed to slavery. You just don't seem to be able to connect the dots.

Not an insurrection, as they did not seek to take over the federal government.

the south sought to establish their own country in effectively the same way we did from great Britain in 1776.

and we responded in the exact same way great britain did.  

the stronger power won that time, but barely.  absent the cause of slavery the south probably wouldn't have won.  lincoln's cry to "save the union" proved to be inadequate to rally the requisite popular support so he changed it to, "free the slaves" which resonated in a christian nation.  likewise, the south's cause to keep the 1% in the style of living to which they had become accustomed proved inadequate which is why the south had much higher rates of desertion and was much more dependent upon the draft.

^^^^Yeah, I always thought of it as more of a secession rather than insurrection.

They wanted to split from the Union.

I think it is you who has the touchy feelies. Why isn't she a good choice?



Freedom lover - check

Fought for freedom - check

Injured for freedom - check

Stood up for what is right - check

Promoted voting rights for women  - check

Christian - check

gun user - check

Republican - check



What argument could you possibly have that she isn't a good candidate to be put on the $20?



Oh wait - she's black. Well shit. How you going to rationalize that, huh? Your touchy feelies don't like that, do they?

Great choice for the $20 bill. I am surprised she was chosen to tell you the truth.

I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.        Tubman




Why is it so surprising?  Libtards make decisions according to touchy feelies, not logic, and they picked Tubman because she was the perfect person to placate Obama's reverse racist hordes.  The reason why they put her on the $20 and not the $10 as they originally intended is entirely due to that Broadwaty musical making Hamilton look cool.  It's Touchy Feelies influencing  the decision making process again.



Heck, I'll even put money on the Libtards not even knowing Tubman was a Republican.   They are low-information voters and they have been indoctrinated into thinking DEMOCRATS GOOD, REPUBLICANS BAD too thoroughly.

It isn't because she's black. It's because this is something the left wants.

MLK was a much more significant actor in American events.

While Tubman's actions show personal courage, and MLK has some baggage, he was much more significant.

MLK would have been an even more controversial choice. You could at least throw around a few details about his life to say why you disagree. Tubman is more bullet proof in the respect.

That's more in line with the faces on the notes now. Presidents and people that helped the nation better itself.
Not someone that helped a few hundred.

That is like putting someone from the Innocent project on the note.

Or if being a woman is what they want, I'm sure there's been much more deserving women than tubby.

Considering it was stated that they wanted a woman involved in the struggle against racial inequality and it cannot be a living person, the only person who comes close is Rosa Parks.  

And, with apologies to OutKast, HT's actions were far braver than Rosa Parks not giving up her seat on a bus.
