The Treasury Department announced today that slavery abolitionist Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill and that other women will appear on the back of the $10 bill

Well it looks as though the feminists and their liberal supporters finally got their way. Political correctness rules the day. A woman, in this case slavery abolitionist Harriet Tubman, will appear on the face of the $20 bill. Her appearance will come at the expense of President Andrew Jackson who has been wiped off the bill by the politically correct stroke of Treasury Secretary Jack Lew’s pen.
The choice of Harriet Tubman, which the Treasury Department announced today, will not only bring some satisfaction to the feminists, but it will also bring great joy to the Democratic Party’s black constituency.
Political correctness demands a revision of American history and the trashing of long-held traditions. The wiping out of Andrew Jackson, a great American historical figure, is the latest example. Actually, Andy will not be wiped off altogether … he will be depicted in some fashion on the back of the bill.
But Lew didn’t stop with the $20 bill. According to the New York Times:
While Hamilton would remain on the $10, and Abraham Lincoln on the $5s, images of women would be added to the back of both — in keeping with Mr. Lew’s intent “to bring to life” the national monuments depicted there.
The picture of the Treasury building on the back of the $10 bill would be replaced with a depiction of a 1913 march in support of women’s right to vote that ended at the building, along with portraits of five suffrage leaders: Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony.
On the flip side of the $5 bill, the Lincoln Memorial would remain, but as the backdrop for the 1939 performance there of Marian Anderson, the African-American opera star, after she was barred from singing at the segregated Constitution Hall nearby. Sharing space on the rear would be images of Eleanor Roosevelt, the first lady who arranged Anderson’s Lincoln Memorial performance, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who in 1963 delivered his “I have a dream” speech from its steps.
There was really no reason to make any changes to any of these bills other than to answer the clarion call of political correctness.
Let the post office issue all the commemorative postage stamps of women they want, but don’t fuck with our currency.
As I said before, since the new $20 bill will not be issued before 2030, hopefully Congress will act before then to stop all this ridiculous nonsense.
But that will not happen if Hillary becomes our next President because she would veto any such congressional action. Shit, it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Hillary - before she leaves office - replace George Washington with first black first lady Michelle Obama’s mug on the one dollar bill. Sounds farfetched? Think about it. Why would they want to keep the owner of black slaves on the face of our most used currency?
Hey, I just thought of something. How about Al Sharpton on the face of the $100 bill?
