This week it was revealed at PowerLine Blog that the Coleen Rowley campaign site had posted an image depicting her opponent in the congressional race, incumbent Congressman John Kline (MN CD2) as a Nazi. This began a row that so far has not been quenched by the apology she has posted on her blog.

The article has been changed, removing the image that is nothing more than a viocous slur of a fine man and excellent congressman, who served for 25 years in the Marine Corps with great distinction.

The piece goes into some detail explaining who U.S. Grant was, essentially defending keeping him on the $50.

Yet, changing the images on our currency has been going on since the United States began minting its own currency.

The dollar coin, at one time, was graced with an image of Pres. Eisenhower. The half dollar coin was graced with Benjamin Franklin, before being replaced with an image of John F. Kennedy.

The only logical reason I can see that could explain Colleen Rowley's position against placing an image of Pres. Reagan on the $50 bill, or any other currency, is that she hates Reagan, just as so many leftists in the Democratic Party do.

How much would you like to bet that if it were a proposal to place Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton on our currency, she would support it?

Rowley's blog continues with:

Grant's legacy was marred with chronic political corruption, but that can't be Kline's objection to Grant. President Bush's current party has been called either the most corrupt ever or most corrupt since Grant and congressman Kline sits idly mute day-in and day-out in blind allegiance to his conference as member after member are exposed in myriad Republican corruption scandals.

Actually, I believe that the distinction of most corrupt administration belongs to Pres. Clinton. Check out Judicial Watch for some juicy reading on the Clintons.

And let's not forget such Democratic leaders as Torricelli and Traficant.

Reagan was a great man, and one of America's greatest leaders. His accomplishments were not limited to bringing about the downfall of the Soviet Union (may it rest on the ash heap of history).

Visit the RonaldReagon.com for more on this great man.

Why shouldn't Reagan grace America's currency?

The writer of the article whom Rowley fully supports (although she should have been fired for photoshopping an image of Congressman Kline as a Nazi) gives no reason to oppose changing the currency, other than it would "diminish" the legacy of Pres. Grant.

It isn't about legacy, it's about honoring great men. Grant as had his turn. Now it is time for Reagan.

What Rowley has allowed to be posted (and supported, despite the couched apology) is yet one more reason why I am moving more to the right, and will not vote for Democrats as I have in the past. The leftists running the asylum, er, DNC, only know how to slime people, not debate the issues.

As for the now removed image of Congressman Kline as a NAZI, Rowley stated she apologizes for having offneded Congressman Kline with the image. My question for Ms. Rowley is: why were you NOT offneded by it?
