"In God We Trust" taken off the dollar bill. NOT a time to rejoice.

It doesn't mean a blow for religious freedom. It means that Ayn Rand has taken over and the Christian conservatives her minions used to put her ideas in power, have been cast aside.

Will they notice they've been screwed by the Plutocracy yet, or will they blame it on Obama again?

the phrase is a product of the cold war in the 1950s, too lazy to look for it right now.

must have something to do with NAFTA, or globalism, or something.

Or, it's from 1935.

It sure looked like they were saying they took "In God We Trust" off the bill. The whole catch line was a new change to the dollar was coming.

I want them to get all pissed, start their Obama hate, and then crush them with the truth. It is always good time.

Why she's using her eldritch powers on currency design is an open question, but I for one am terrified what she'll do next.
