Radical Religious Right want US Park Service to change film at Lincoln Memorial

George Bush's mandate. The Radical Religious Right is taking a 51-49 split in the electorate as a mandate to run roughshod over American policy. Now they have turned their sites on another den of iniquity: the Lincoln Memorial. Yep, you just never know where godlessness and heathenism will pop up. And they will slap it down. From ABC News:

For roughly a decade, a film has been shown to visitors at Washington's Lincoln Memorial, depicting historic events that have taken place there — from civil rights marches to antiwar demonstrations.

The film shows a number of marches with liberal themes like gay rights and abortion rights, intercut with older clips of historical figures like former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Marian Anderson.

Then, one day the Rev. Lou Sheldon saw it.

"It showed only those liberal, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marches," said Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition.

Sheldon's influential Christian conservative group took its complaint to the government's top levels — "so they could reach down and work their system and cleanse in a proper manner and make it fair and balanced," he said.

Sheldon would like film of some conservative marches intercut as well, though it is unclear whether any major conservative marches have taken place at the Lincoln Memorial itself, which is the film's focus.
