McCain said native americans. Wouldn't this term be just as offensive as Americans is a white man's word any way?
guess we're gonna rename most of the states
Those unique state names give rise to thoughts about sovereignty and other such outdated concepts; I wouldn't at all be surprised to see an initiative put forward to rename them into numbered districts (1 though 57, I suppose).
Our moronic electorate might actually go for it. "Hey, it's just like in The Hunger Games. Cool!"
“That would have elevated the stature of the Democrats’ initiative by making it both bipartisan and endorsed by the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee.”
Whenever McCain’s sucking face with the demonrats it’s NOT bipartisan it’s bi-polar.
He could have picked Jesus Alou, and the ticket would have had two men not born in the US.
He’s a White Devil.
McCain: I would have signed that Democratic letter asking the NFL to change the Redskins’ name
Of course you will you...you democrat!
The Aztecs weren’t Aztecs anyway—I believe they were called the Mexica (pronounced me-SHEE-ka).
How is that even relevant?
This is all about white liberals feeling good about themselves, and forcing their will on everyone else.
Ergo, Redskins.
Move on, people.
McCain is a moron, a senile idiot who can't see the 100% clueless no-information idiots for what they are.
Most would consider the Bill of Rights, The Federalist Papers, and the Declaration of Independence as inadequate thoughtless documents--- without having read any of them.
If he wants to join that group, more power to him.
Me?
I will call them the Redskins forever.
Just as I call every "Cesar Chavez" street within 100 miles by their original names.
Ten years ago, I was warning that "political correctness would the downfall of the Republic.
Everybody loses.
I wonder where the name Indiana came from. Maybe I could find out in their state capitol, Indianapolis.
RE: I will call them the Redskins forever.
Is it still OK to call Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay? Or Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Lew Alcindor? :)
That's what McCain's name means in Apache.
RE: I wonder where the name Indiana came from
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana
The state’s name means “Land of the Indians,” or simply “Indian Land.”
LOL!
The more things change...
And let’s dismiss any politician that falsely claims American Indian heritage as offensive and unqualified for public office.
Sure.
Why not?
The ones that get it don't need a reason.
The ones that don't are irrelevant to me.
A contrarian misanthrope?
Yeah; and proud.
Yes, but he won’t do a dang thing about border security, the national debt, etc. He is a traitor. Using Congress as a retirement home.
