say Islamic Terrorist!" conversations on Fox this week?
Keep in mind, Mt. McKinley was not named for our former President in tribute following his assassination. It was christened after him following his nomination as Republican Presidential candidate. Sooooo... who cares?
this is not a thing. The people who lived there called it Denali for centuries before a bunch of guys thousands of miles away decided to give it another name.
Everest was called Chomolungma by Tibetans and Sagarmatha by Nepalese long before the British decided to name it after one of their own. Nepal calls the park around it Sagarmatha National Park. They never adopted the British name, just like the Alaskan native people never adopted "McKinley."
You hate that we are re naming a mountain that we took the name from anyways? He never even visited Alaska, who cares.
That's not the point. The President decided to wave a wand and change a name, clumsy and insignificant though it may have been, to assuage an ostensibly aggrieved group (that has bigger problems than having a mountain named after a president). It's par for the course for him, but that doesn't make it praiseworthy.

Yes. Who cares is the point. Stop retcon'ing everything to placate interest group "x". Let the Washington have their redskin pigskins and focus on real issues.

Shouldn't you be gazing dreamily at a poster of Bernie Sanders?
this sort of haughty bullshit, while minor and insignificant, encapsulates the sorts of things that people dislike about this President.
No, it encapsulates the sort of things you, and people like you don't like about this President. Get that straight.
No it just encapsulates everything that has become of Washington. Pandering to demographics and searching for the next vote; selling your soul for the next election; demeaning one group for the next. Both parties do it, and this administration revels in it.
Is there anything the President has done, or can do, that you would like?
He has done plenty of things I like, and plenty more I don't. To complain that he has a haughty, almost academic disposition is not to say that this is the worst possible quality that one could have in a President. The bitchings of the serially aggrieved on my side notwithstanding, he comes across as relatively honest and decent.

I'd like to believe that but, it's a farce. The moment this President came into a office, the morons on the right have done everything they can to denounce everything he's done. It's pathetic.
But, it's ok, St. Trump and his bigotry is the Republican savior!
"Republican Presidential Candidates Band Together in Denali Denial."
Btw, the Alaskans have called it Denali since 1975, when its name was switched back from McKinley under the auspices of that avowed socialist and anti-American, Gerald Ford.
Quote:
when European Americans discovered it in the 19th century, they renamed it Densmore's Mountain and, later, Mount McKinley in an effort to boost the presidential candidacy of Republican William McKinley...The Obama administration's action breaks a 40-year impasse over the name of the mountain. Alaska has been petitioning for a name change since 1975, but a bipartisan effort by Ohio's congressional delegation has blocked the effort by introducing bills requiring it to be named after McKinley, who was born in Niles, Ohio and buried in Canton.
But as Jewell noted in her order, "President McKinley never visited, nor did he have any significant historical connection to, the mountain or to Alaska."
So now we know who is at fault, those f%$king Alaskans. We are lengthening their growing season for them through ample contributions of carbon dioxide. Isn't that enough? Link - ( New Window )
sorry for ot contributing anything more on this but...

And his trip promises to be noteworthy for its global warming photo ops, as though the state doesn't have anything else to worry about.
You found something?
I hate crap like this.

The people of Alaska want it named Denali and have called it Denali for a very long time, so it's a settled issue, right?

Yep, as usual name calling by the superior intellect.

besides this is nothing compared to renaming the perfectly named Triboro Bridge to the RFK Bridge. Now THAT is a travesty.
