[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jackson was a great President.  Tubman - Obama was behind it. [/quote]

Obama thinks platitudes like this will raise his popularity. It will - with those who don't think things through and simply react to how it feels.

I think Tubman deserves honoring, but not at the expense of another individual. In fact, re-writing history like this is foolish. As a Jew, I don't want Hitler forgotten - I want his photo everywhere. I want youth to know who he was and what happened, as if they don't, his evil deeds will be minimized and they WILL occur again. Liberals wanting all visual signs of slave-owners purged in the name of feeling good are risking youth not caring that slavery occurred at all. What, you say? They will teach it in the schools? It will mean NOTHING to these kids - they are simply too far away from it.

Being offended is a very, VERY important life-lesson. If you've never been offended or been faced with something offensive, you have no idea how NOT to offend others.  [/quote]
