That's It [View all]

So this really is about Robert E. Lee and the Confederates not having to look at Lincoln's Memorial for eternity?

As I'm sure you know, Arlington Cemetery was Lee's plantation. Blocking the Lincoln Memorial is a feature, no doubt about it.

If he builds it, it will have to come down. There's no two ways about it.

Also, it's a hideous monstrosity, aesthetically completely inappropriate.
