If you go to the Lincoln Memorial, you will be standing in a national park, the National Mall. There, once upon a time, you would have been privileged to watch an eight-minute video about The National Mall, including its use as a site for popular protests, including anti-war demonstrations at the height of Vietnam and the Millenium March for Gay and Lesbian Rights.

No longer. National Parks Director Donald Murphy has ordered that all references to the Millenium March be removed from the video. The same is true of Vietnam-era protests. Murphy's excuse is that the tape "gave viewers the impression that Lincoln would have approved of those issuse" (gay rights, anti-war). Maybe he would have. That's not the point.

In order to pad out the tape's voice-over run length, however, the video has been filled with shots of pro-Gulf War activists and a Promise Keepers rally, neither of which happened at the National Mall!

I want my country back. Don't make me come over there and take it.

WHAT!

NOT A SPIN!.your obviously so blinding by some sort of republican cause or religious material that you do not pay attention to whats going on around you my poorly misguided friend.This terrible excuse of a president is trying to inspire people(tourists/nationalists in this case)to listen to his terribly misguided cause and sway them his way by way of brainwashing and as stated above.REVISIONIST HISTORY! he is trying to hide the good things in the world that this country is known for such as civil libertys and the right to protest and be recognized for your cause,but not in bushes case he decides to censor the public of these things by making them unavailable where they ahppend and placing his of terribly staged material in place.typical republican views.pathetic.
