As the $20 bill gets a new face, Andrew Jackson's sins are recalled

By DAVID HORSEY | 5:00AM PDT - Thursday, April 21, 2016



TUBMAN is in, Hamilton is saved and Jackson is banished to the back of the bill. That is the news from the United States Treasury, where it was announced on Wednesday that the face of a venerable and brave African American woman will be the first to grace the front of the nation's paper currency.

Harriet Tubman, a slave who escaped from bondage and then devoted her life to freeing more of her brothers and sisters from the South's slave empire, will soon take center stage on the $20 bill. For years there has been a push to make room for someone besides famous white men on the money that passes through our hands every day. A weak attempt was made when suffragette Susan B. Anthony and, later, Shoshone guide Sacagawea took their turns on the little-used dollar coin. Though the image on the Sacagawea coin, in particular, was lovely, agitation for a non-white, non-male person on more heavily utilized currency only increased.

Last June, the Treasury laid out plans to pick a worthy female to replace our country's first Treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton, on the $10 note. That scheme ran into resistance, not only from feminists who insisted a woman should get the prime spot on the more ubiquitous $20 bill, but also because Hamilton, a lesser-known Founding Father, had suddenly become cool with the kids, thanks to the huge success of the Broadway rap musical “Hamilton”.

While Hamilton's new fan base has insured his face will stay on the $10, President Andrew Jackson's popularity has been falling, making him an easier target for demotion.

For decades, Democratic Party organizations around the U.S. held annual Jefferson/Jackson dinners, named to honor the two leaders considered to be the fathers of the party. Recently, though, activists have complained that both Thomas Jefferson and Jackson were slave owners and, therefore, are no longer the best representatives of modern, multi-ethnic Democrats. Jefferson has a long list of redeeming attributes that makes it possible to counter the ire of revisionists. The author of the Declaration of Independence openly recognized the evil of slavery, even if he could not break from the economic thrall of the institution. Jackson, on the other hand, is harder to defend. Not only did he have an early career as a slave trader, there was the heinous matter of genocide.

As president, Jackson engineered the forced removal of peaceful Native American tribes from their homes in the South to lands west of the Mississippi River. For the most part, these were people who had assimilated and become farmers and shopkeepers. That did not prevent the confiscation of their property and a forced march along the notorious Trail of Tears, where the Indians died by the thousands from hunger, cold and disease. This racist land grab by white settlers and slaveholders was opposed by 19th century notables such as Davy Crockett and Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was also declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Jackson ignored them all and heartlessly enforced the policy.

Jackson has had more than enough time in an honored place on our currency (his image bumped the picture of President Cleveland from the bill in 1929).  Besides, he will not entirely disappear. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Old Hickory will show up somewhere on the back of the $20, if only in a representation of the equestrian statue that stands across from the White House in Lafayette Square.

These changes to the currency are, predictably, being derided by at least a few conservatives. Ben Carson, the failed Republican presidential candidate, called Jackson “a tremendous president” and said Tubman should perhaps be relegated to the nearly unused $2 bill. Kristin Tate, one of the numerous young libertarian women vying to follow Ann Coulter's lucrative path into the right wing media's pundit pool, was more caustic.

“We must remove historical figures to make room for a Muslim, a Native American, a Chinese American, an Indian and a transgender person,” Tate said, tongue firmly in cheek. “I personally suggest Caitlyn Jenner. Anything less would be offensive.”

It is obviously impossible for the conservative chattering class to resist characterizing these changes in America's currency as pathetic political correctness, but it is worth noting that a lot of them have been lobbying to get Ronald Reagan on the $50 in place of Ulysses S. Grant or on the dime, where he would bump liberal icon Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Objectively, though, should we open a space for yet another white male president before giving recognition to great American women and inspiring civil rights leaders? Our history is richer than that.

Bald eagles for breakfast: The Texas GOP stays adorably insane

By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist | 7:25AM PDT - Friday, June 03, 2016


Symble of Qwalitey, sinse 1854!

GOOD NEWS, anxious Republican patriots, ye of the most uneasy grasp on reality, on love, on science and sex, society and culture and human existence as we know it…

You have not been forgotten. You have not been forsaken amidst the current Sturm und Drang of this madcap election cycle, despite how Trump is feasting like a mangy hyena upon the brittle bones of the GOP you once knew, despite how the national Republican platform is stuck in a kind of gruesome stasis, waiting to see what sort of fantastical horrors the election brings.

Rest assured: Horrors they will be, and very well deserved indeed.

But worry not, ultra-conservative science-denying sexist anti-choice gunslinger! There is a place for you still.

It's a place where the men are men (but not really), Muslims are beaten and/or deported, blacks are racially profiled, women and gays are demeaned and abolished, science is mocked, the environment is raped on a daily basis and you can still shoot an endangered animal with your big, phallic assault rifle, the one you bought with real gold bullion, the only “true” U.S. currency, next to porn and OxyContin and beer.

What is this oasis of psychotic awesomeness, you ask? Why, it's none other than the official 2016 platform of the Republican Party of Texas, of course.

The Texas GOP! It's like a 5-year-old's hysterical spitball of a totalitarian cowboy Disneyland, a sexually panicky place where everyone struts around in American flag bandanas shooting white tigers and dragging women by their hair and blasting a million tons of carbon dioxide straight into Jesus' mouth. In a totally non-gay way, of course.

The official Texas GOP platform is, it must be said, sort of glorious in its flagrant disregard for anything resembling coherence or grown-up thinking. All the classic hits are still here, with a few fresh flourishes for 2016, mostly having to do with — can you guess? — Muslims. And public restrooms. Obvs.

Shut down the Federal Reserve! Return to the gold standard! Make English the official language of the USA! Benghazi needs another investigative committee, because the first seven were clearly sniffing glue.

And of course, homosexuality is a repellant “chosen behavior” that should be eradicated, per God's wishes and never you mind all those homosexual animals and never you mind that the grammar of the anti-gay item itself delightfully suggests that homosexuality is actually, um, “shared by the majority of Texans.” Whoops. Grammar is so elitist.

__________________________________________________________________________

84. Homosexuality is a chosen behavior contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that
have been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nation's founders, and shared by
the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable alternative
lifestyle, in public policy, nor should family be redefined to include homosexual couples. We
oppose the granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual
behavior, regardless of state of origin. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those
who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.

__________________________________________________________________________

Thing is, the Texas platform has always been a laughable hate-read (its core set of boilerplate nonsense hasn't changed much since Bush 43), but it's also a veritable case study in how to fear and loathe the vast, radiant spectrum of human existence, given  that it believes racial profiling is necessary, science is a scam, US borders should have bigger walls, women should not serve in combat, refugees do not deserve our help, abortion is evil, abstinence education should still be taught, health care is for the rich, Christmas is under attack and — new for 2016! — gender weirdos should be banned from public bathrooms. Because that shit is important.

What's that? You want to shoot a bald eagle, patriotic Texan? Go for it, macho man.

After all, Texas is the land of private game reserves, unholy places where grossly entitled males like Dick Cheney and Antonin Scalia went on drunken “canned hunts” to shoot pheasant and lawyers and exotic animals from the privacy of their own chauffeured Mercedes 4x4s.

Translation: Of course the Texas GOP wants to repeal the Endangered Species Act — which, until 10 years ago, had listed the bald eagle as a protected creature, driven nearly to extinction through a combination of illegal shooting, DDT and habitat destruction.

Good news! The bald eagle is now flourishing, ready once again to be shot and munched on for breakfast should you so desire, Texas Republican. All thanks to — you guessed it — the Endangered Species Act — and the Environmental Protection Agency, which banned the lethal DDT. Official platform of the Texas GOP? Abolish both agencies — and about 15 more, including the IRS and the Departments of Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Labor, the Bureau of Land Management, Transportation Security Administration, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and National Labor Relations Board.

Who needs 'em? Let those stupid animals protect themselves, amirite? And let Americans figure out for themselves which chemicals, pollutants and additives will kill them. That's why God invented cancer and heart disease and birth defects.

It's sort of dizzying, really, and far too much to summarize here without more whisky and a fistful of Xanax and a deep apology to Austin and much of liberal Dallas and of course Houston, with your openly lesbian mayor. Because the truth is, huge portions of Texas — mostly the liberal, educated urban centers — want nothing to do with their knuckle-dragging Tea Party breathren. Hey, we all have that creepy, racist uncle in the family, right? Texas just made a whole political party out if him.

Simply know this: If you really wish to learn how to foist vast amounts of odium upon your fellow man, if you really want to feel your genitalia clench into a thundering knot of psychotic pseudo-Americana, or if you happen to think Trump's plan to turn America into a razor-wired, booby-trapped suburb of North Korea is “sort of boring,” there's a document you simply must read.

Don't forget your bandana.
