Do it, and I’ll never touch a ten spot again
Norquist: Time is right to put ‘Reagan on the $10 bill.
In 1997, conservative anti-tax activist Grover Norquist initiated the Reagan Legacy Project, which sought to “name something – a stadium, a stretch of turnpike, anything – after Reagan in every state in the union.” Another proposal favored by the group is to have “Reagan’s image replace that of Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, on the $10 bill.” Speaking to the Washington Examiner yesterday, Norquist suggested that the time is right to push that project again. “It sounds like a good time to re-start the conversation about getting Reagan on the $10 bill,” said Norquist. “I don’t know why the Bush administration has dropped the ball on this.”
Nifty! Can we replace “In God We Trust” with “Proud leader of Iran Contra”? Or “October Surprise!”? Maybe a nice image of him opening his presidential bid, blathering about state’s rights symbolically atop the graves of civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Mississippi?
Reagan was a racist creep who no more deserved the office of president than does my dog. Put his teflon mug on a ten dollar bill, and I’ll burn the f’n things.
