Nah. Just a sign that the gub'ment built a big heavy marble structure in the middle of a swamp.

What do you figure he's upset about?
a) That he was deified?
b) That his memorial was disingenuously suggested by a man he probably would have hated more than Hamilton?
c) That it was approved by Congress during a Depression?
d) That they stuck it in a swamp?
e) That the country he founded hates everything he stood for and constantly invokes his name to justify principles he detested and fought against?

f) All of the above.

Just another attempt by the DC elite to erase history!!!
(kidding...)
I love that Memorial!! Lincoln is shown on his throne (typical of a President who exiled opponents and removed rights from the States), BUT Jefferson is memorialized by a statue of him STANDING!! When I visit that memorial I feel like I'm standing with him...
What history our nation has!! I love this country, just can't stand what it's been morphed into...
