‘This image is pretty striking’: An eerie snapshot of ‘Obama’s America’ | Twitchy: You see, there is a man with a gun in front of the Lincoln Memorial to keep people out of the Lincoln Memorial because because there is no one there to guard the Lincoln Memorial, meaning there aren't enough men with guns to keep it open. And when did it become necessary to "open" the Lincoln Memorial in the first place? I thought it was open? That it was built that way? When did it become the default assumption of the government that Americans could not be trusted to walk around in a public space without someone with a gun standing around to guard the stones?
