<p>[QUOTE="ConfederateHalf, post: 2178208, member: 27946"]I am for banning the use of portraits of any people, living or dead, from our currency, and mandating that only allegorical representations of Lady Liberty be used forevermore. I do not think a REPUBLIC should ape the monetary habits of monarchs, imperial empires, and other tyrannies that have always sought to glorify their rulers by putting their odious portraits on the circulating coin of the realm. If George Washington were alive I think he would second my motion on this. I think he would have found it abhorrent that his own portrait was on the quarter and the dollar-bill. America is not about crying "Hail Ceasar!" to whatever politician or political activist who is currently in vogue - it is about guaranteeing every citizen life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Enough with the dead presidents worship and to Hades with the current urge to put Politically Correct personages in their place. Give us LIBERTY or give us death![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
