Finally! New Dollar Coins Unveiled!

122707coins.jpg
Ahh, yes, it's time once again for the running Philadelphia Will Do series about how the new presidential coin series will finally make America awesome again.

The Mint today previewed the 2008 coins, which will feature James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. The 5, 6, 7, 8 presidents will surely make dollar coins finally accepted in this country.

Also, Martin Van Buren kinda looks like Larry Fine, making him our stoogiest president.

I see through your childish "humor" and attempt at "levity". I will not be fooled sir! DOCTOR ron paul is a gentle and noble man! His tears can cure the national debt!

i hope the james buchanan coin has a pink triangle on it

I still think it's rather funny that the only person from Pennsylvania who ever made it to the president wound up being a big homofag.

I guess those Puritans never really were all-that popular.

Well, we have Hitler as Moe, Martin Van Buren as Larry ... anyone have a world leader suggestion for Curly? Or Joe? Or Curly Joe?

What's wrong with Winston Churchill?

The elite's government FEARS you!!!!!!

Their fear is manifested in the laws they pass. Here is a law banning what MANY of the Founders wrote is a RIGHT of citizens when a government no longer represents them:

Section 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or
teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of
overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or
the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession
thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by
force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any
such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any
such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates,
sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed
matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity,
desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any
government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts
to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society,
group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the
overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or
violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any
such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes
thereof -
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than
twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by
the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five
years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in
this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned
not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for
employment by the United States or any department or agency
thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As used in this section, the terms ''organizes'' and
''organize'', with respect to any society, group, or assembly of
persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new
units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes,
and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.


The federal government is allowing MILLIONS of illegals to invade our country who are causing immense economic harm to America's working poor. Corporate America is becoming increasingly more powerful and influential. Yet, according to the government of for and by the elites YOU, a citizen, have to accept whatever the government does with NO recourse other than voting...... and there is sufficient proof that shows to me voting is worthless since the entrenched power structure ensures that the emplaced elite class can not be removed.

Several Founders specifically wrote of the people's right to abolish a government when it no longer represents them.

We are forced to live under an elite's TYRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's possibly the strangest spambot I've ever seen.

Obbop smokes the pole

Posted by: Mr. Anon at December 28, 2007 01:27 AM

That spambot is right though. All the more reason to kick the bastards to the curb.

Larry Fine on a coin? Why not. Might as well put all the neo-cons and other assorted god's pets on coins so I can have great satisfaction in holocausting them as I melt them down into bullets for the coming action. It's gonna be auschwitz of a time!

Mussolini as Curly and Hirohito as Larry.

Before the internets, I thought wacko nutjobs were relatively rare, and kinda funny. Now they pop up in every forum, no matter how off-topic their rant is. Not funny anymore. Scary.
