Political Ideology On Privately Issued Bullion

Another example of political ideology on bullion is the slave queen, debt & death, and other associated silver rounds produced by SBSS. I recently seen a kraken queen round with a skeletal queen on one side and a 'kraken queen' on the other depicting the royal head and crown with the body of a Kraken, the mythological sea monster of Scandinavian lore. These rounds definitely have a libertarian, anti-establishment theme that I find hard to refute. All power corrupts and it seems that all politicians no matter their ideology are remarkably similar after the campaign is over and they begin to realize the challenges of governing. Special interests are remarkably entrenched on both sides of the aisle and if you want to keep your job in D.C. you have to compromise your ideals to keep them from throwing you out.

The bottom line is that liberal ideas are not depicted on coins because they won't sell. It's no more complicated than that. Liberals tend to view government as the fallback plan. Conservatives & Libertarians tend to view precious metals as the fallback plan to the economic damage caused by big government. Besides, how would one depict taking from those who earn to empower politicians so they can keep people dependent?



Democrats want to regulate the internet so they can determine what can/can't be said and who can use it for what. "Net neutrality" is the complete opposite of freedom which is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Kind of reminds me how Roosevelt made possession of gold illegal. It had nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with controlling the finances of the people.



I give it two thumbs down as well because the last thing that I want to see on a coin or round is something that resembles Obama. I agree that the divisiveness he promotes has got to go. Hopefully the next President will put US citizens first instead of the illegal border hoppers he's trying to make citizens to increase the Democrat election rolls. BTW, if you don't believe that, ask yourself a question. Would Obama and the rest of the liberals be all for making the illegals citizens if they knew these new citizens would vote 80% of the time for Republicans? If you're honest with yourself, you know the answer is no way. It's all about who it empowers and has nothing to do with caring.

Moderates are cowards that wait until everyone else has offered their opinions and then declare they occupy the virtuous high ground in the middle of the other opinions. Moderates are the type of people who gave us the 3/5th's Compromise.



If someone is fool enough to pay that much then let them be parted with their money. However, declaring that everyone who respects that flag is a hater is just ignorant. Sure, some are. But for most it's just about respecting their heritage. I grew up in the 70's & 80's with black and white people. Never once did I hear a black or white person claim that the flag represented anything hateful. Then in the 90's, politicians decided label it hate as a tool for political gain. Next on their list is the carving on the side of Stone Mountain. Better hide your Stone Mountain Halves. They'll be calling you a hater for having them and demanding that they all be melted down.

I agree- if people are willing to pay $50 for that, it's worth $50.



That should just be '3/5 Compromise'.

I learned it as Three-Fifths Compromise, but either way will work. The irony is that those counted as 3/5ths of a person were still denied 100% of their basic human rights.




Excellent point!

All I was saying is that the fraction is written as '3/5' and pronounced as 'three fifths'.
