My father-in-law's craziest Repig declaration to date!
"How do we know that Barack Obama isn't going to force them to take Abraham Lincoln's face off the five dollar bill!? He could do it too, out of some PC BS about Lincoln owning slaves!"

:wtf:

Now, I love my father-in-law. He normally hates conflict. Hell, he pretends to be an independent just so he doesn't get into fights with people. For the first three years I knew him I thought he was an independent. That was before I was in his room one day and I saw his complete collection of Rush Limbaugh books.

Under normal circumstances he wouldn't say something like that out loud, but I think this election scares him to death.

But I'm fine with that.

1. I'm more concerned about how much a $5 bill will buy in the future.
Than what it will look like.

6. Yeah, it's either going to buy way too little or way too much
I'm not sure which is scarier.

2. I dom't believe Lincoln owned
slaves - Mary Todd's father did. Her dressmaker, while they were in the WH, was a freed slave of her father's.

3. Republicans, I have to assume don't take civics
Why do they think the Presidency is a short term dictatorship?

And if was going to select someone to remove wouldn't the likely targets be Jackson and/or Hamilton?

8. Look at it this way....
They are expecting such huge atrocities to take place with an Obama administration that by comparison, he'll become the greatest president ever!
