I do. A crapton (that's the official measurement) of studies demonstrate that you spend less when you spend cash. Plus it helps you stick to your budget.

Every Racist policy in all US history is 100% the invention of the Democrat Party.

They are no better about race today than they were 150 years ago. They have just gone to the opposite extreme, and they are still the only political party to use racial hatred and envy to gain political power

Up until about 60 years ago the Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democrat party. Since then they have replaced the Klan with Racial Poverty Pimps like Sharpton, Jackson and other minority grievance groups.

Although there are some racist who have claimed the Republican Party, unlike Democrats, Republicans never claimed them. The GOP is now and always has been the party of Lincoln.

David Duke was a Democrat while he was in the Klan. He did become a Republican and won one local election. When he tried to go national the Republican Party itself kicked him out as much as they could.

Robert Byrd has much stronger and more recent ties to the Klan than Duke. He was arguably the most powerful Democrat ever who himself was never President. He would have been in office until 2013 if he had not died.

Although Byrd gave a speech where he supposedly recanted his racist views, he made several statement right up until the end showing he was still a nasty little Racist and Democrats still kept reelecting him.

The first Civil Rights Bill came from Eisenhower. It was defeated by Democrats and it was Senate Majority Leader LBJ who led the opposition. It was not until that $cumbag saw a political opportunity for himself that he supported Civil Rights.

The opposition to civil rights was about 95% Democrat. Of the over 100 Dexicates who opposed the 1964 act only 3 became Republicans.

During entire racist past the South was a Democrat stronghold. By the time they became Red States the South was no more racist than any other part of the country.

3 of the 4 top GOP presidential candidates were minorities. Ben Carson who up until a month or two ago was one of them got his strongest support is from Religious Conservatives. This fact destroys the entire propaganda that Conservatives are racist.

Carson endorsed Trump who Democrats are currently lying about being racist.

Racial Poverty Pimps like Sharpton, Jackson and Obama are just as despicable as any Klansmen who ever existed, and they have caused a lot more damage to America as a whole.

I agree with this for most folks. However, if you look at your account online every day (like I do), you can literally see where your money has gone without forgetting and identify issues. It works for me.

Yeah, that whole most women couldn't vote till 1920 thing was allllll due to Democrats.

:rolleyes:

Indeed.

The Democrats fought against her right to vote both as a black person and as a woman... and that is ignoring the fact that most Democrats of her time wanted her hanged...

Women's suffrage was part of the Republican platform from its inception in 1854.
 
Glad to see a great American like Harriet Tubman get this well deserved honor.

No, it wasn't in the GOP platform since 1854.

The first mention in a platform was a nod to women's rights:


1872 GOP party platform: “The Republican party is mindful of its obligations to the loyal women of America for their noble devotion to the cause of freedom. Their admission to wider fields of usefulness is viewed with satisfaction, and the honest demand of any class of citizens for additional rights should be treated with respectful consideration.”

I will agree with GOP was the liberal party back then, as we've said so many other times. The parties switched positions, however, the were numerous times the GOP held majorities and in both branches and could have done something more than lip service if they wanted to -- but they didn't.
There was no serious attempt on the part of the GOP to allow women the vote via a Constitutional Amendment in the 19th century.

You know who really got the movement going and actually headed it to finally getting something achieved? The Progressive Party. The people the GOP despise deeply.

Exactly!

It's all a "Feel Good, fuzzy wuzzy, Tinker Bell-itus", mentality! Just like "Gun Free Zones"

Biggest bunch of horse**** ever devised!

Eww, no. Gun free zones are actually dangerous and a violation of our guaranteed rightst. Tubman on a $20 is merely a superficial change-nothing.
 
Some of the reactions in this thread are to be expected, though one wonders how long it would take for them to accept that it is the proper time for a black woman to be on our currency, and not due to political correctness.

The legislation battle began in California when a Republican introduced a bill for Womens Suffrage that was shot down by Democrats, so sure let's say the women's vote became a Republican position in 1872, that still means that the Democrats opposed her right to vote as a woman and as a black person.

I think I need to start a movement for the Democrats to change there name being as its history is so steeped in hatred and bigotry.

It's nothing more than pandering. Look over the list of people they picked and tell me that isn't pandering nonsense. If they really wanted to do something meaningful they would honor George Mason.

It's all a moot point anyway since it's well past time we started considering doing away with paper currency.

What would be the proper time for a non-white male to be on our currency?

I understand it is difficult to defend your own version of that which you accuse me of.

Conservative is the word you're looking for, bucko. Conservatives. Liberals and progressives have always been the ones to move history in the right direction.

Parties change.

Ideologies do not.

It already happened in the past. The proper thing to do now is to consider what to do next in terms of what will be the currency. Paper currency is quickly becoming an artifact of the past that people use less and less as time goes on. We need a system that can deal with the current demands of the market, which paper currency is showing more and more it can't do. In fact, most money in existence is not even paper money at all, so for all intents and purposes it has already failed.
