It has been McMcKinley for 121 years, officially for 98.
A gold prospector renamed the mountain "McKinley" in 1896, and the name was recognized by the federal government in 1917...
People were just fine with the name, until some Leftist activists charged up the situation. Now we're supposed to back down and let it go.
Sorry, not going to do that. We've got the nation being occupied from the South. Our Constitution is experiencing a frontal assault these days. Obama is holding a fire-sale to essentially put us back 125 years.
Our kids are being sold on homosexuality and Marxism from the age of five (or less depending).
This McKinley move is merely more of the same. It may seem like nothing to you, but our influence on this hemisphere is being erased.
There are no small battles. We need to cram this right down the Leftist's throats until they choke on it. We don't and they move on to the next place.

3) Denali

Alaska has plenty of marks named region centric.
No to the renaming. We have a right to heredity too.
Yes, clearly renaming a mountain from McKinley to Denali is analogous to “our kids being sold on homosexuality.”
Sarah Palin calls it Denali too. Is she one of those leftist activists?
I, for one, am sick of things being named after politicians. Especially natural formations. So reversing that is fine by me. The blind squirrel (Obama) managed to find a nut. It happens.
