Feature of the new $100 bill that is.
I was watching the video that explains all the fancy features of the new currency, and there (about 3/4 of the way through) I saw it – the single best line from the Declaration of Independence, clear as day, right over the number:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”
It’s like every $100 bill has a Tea Party commercial printed on it.
Don’t tell Obama.
That’s nice. I’ll remember that when someone says it ain’t worth the tree it was printed on.
Brilliant observation Harvey; most appropriate. Hopefully the designers of the new $100 won’t be jailed as right wing radicals.
Well, the new bill is sure to get plenty of exposure! You’ll need a wheelbarrow full of them just to get a Big Mac at McDonald’s the way things are going.
You’ll also have to ask for one of those “special” menus – the ones printed in English!
Had the Obama administration known what the Declaration of Independence was, they certainly would have had it removed from the $100 bill. Prepare for them to apologize to anyone who might be offended by its presence.
Son of Bob wrote; “Prepare for them to apologize to anyone who might be offended by its presence.”
hell, Obie may well scrap the new bill and recall them all to insert the phrase “From each according to their abilities, To each according to their needs.” to better reflect the values of the new U.S. regime.
One of these days I am going to order a “Deceleration of Independence” recreated on real parchment like I saw on “Dirty Jobs”.

How appropriate. Especially during this administration.
Wonder if Earsbama will blame the paranoid feeling on the coke or what he sees on the just unrolled hunnert when the first one gets put into circulation.
Son of Bob – Obama already apologized for the Declaration, remember?:

I feel so much safer now knowing that somebody smart enough to print fake money who is also smart enough to know not to try it with $100s will now have even more incentive not to. Since the census to count fake people cost about $50 per real person, I assume this cost about $97 per $100.
That”s neat that the Treasury Dept. is putting the Declaration is on the $100 bill,
especially since the White House prints the Constitution on toilet paper.

Let’s try this again…
#5 rightwingkiller…you took the words out of my mouth. Or maybe a few quotes from the Rev. Wright or Mao. Obummy’s heroes.
Let’s not forget our Dear Leader thinks he’s above such petty considerations like “The Constitution” and “The Declaration Of Independence”. When you’re a Messiah, and have a lapdog media that fawns over your every statement like swooning teeny boppers at a Jonas Brothers concert, you think that way.
Seditious!!!
obama is a great president.
Excellent. Saves us all the expense of buying a little rubber stamp like the “tax cheat” that people are stamping above Timmy Geithner’s signature on the bills.
Shiggz – I have one on fake parchment, framed & hanging in my room. I signed my copy just above John Penn’s name.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”
I just had an idea for another IMAO t-shirt. Just put that statement on the back (or front, if you prefer) with a picture of Obama with the red line across it. Oh boy, will liberal heads explode at the sight of that one. You know me, I just LOVE exploding liberal heads.
@Harvey
Nice. Maybe I think I will have all of our kids sign there names on it as well. It is nice to have a flag but at the end of the day our flag is not what makes us special as a nation.
Shiggz – Or… tell them they can’t sign it until they’re 18 and ready to pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors to the ideals of this nation.
Nothing makes a kid want something more than telling them they can’t have it 🙂
