When Obama renames Kenya “Obamaland” & moves there.........

[WayneS]

One wonders what other statutes Obama will overrule during his remaining months in office.

All of them?

[Sasparilla]

Arrogance. Next, changing the name of the Constitution.

[A CA Guy]

Knowing the history some, McKinley had never been to Alaska or seen that mountain.
I think this goes down as one of two right things Obama may have done in as President . Nobody in Alaska called it McKinley when I was there.

The other right thing was when he was forced to let our troops get Bin Laden.

The rest is pretty much failure unless you are a fan of his golf game.

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

Maybe the change is buried in the Obamacare bill, or some othe porkulous monstrosity that no one reads. Just saying.

[headstamp 2]

Congress is now irrelevant. The GOP saw to that today with the Iran agreement.

[originalbuckeye]

Sorry, I am a cynic when it comes to Obama’s intentions. He saw the opportunity to pit native Alaskans against the Republicans, who will not take kindly to this renaming. And he hopes the animosity will stretch to the Native American community as a whole. Meanwhile, wasn't the naming of Mt McKinley done by LAW? How can he just ‘rename it Denali’ without the Congress approving it?

[SES1066]

Prior to “His Excellency’s” action, it was Mount McKinley in the Denali National Park, an obvious compromise to retain a name honoring an assassinated President and the local aboriginal peoples. Just goes to prove that compromises are useless when dealing with “I know I am right and I have the power” Progressive Egos!

Note: If this mountain had been named Kennedy, do you suppose he would have done the same thing? [duck and cover!]

[TomGuy]

The feckless Republicans in Congress allow him to get away with it. They even enable him to do it by claiming they are making DC work.

We will likely see many more such executive orders and arbitrary actions in the coming months, as January 20, 2017 approaches.

The Bible directs us to pray for our leaders, and that is exactly what I’ve been doing for years, praying that Almighty God will soon get to the end of His patience, and will lob an Old Testament-style lightning bolt that will light up that filthy Kenyan’s ass like a 4th of July display.

Renaming a designated name for an already identified mountain is not trashing a law .... it's nothing more than someone making fun of your name ....

If anything, it's just another adolescent girlie response to the fabric of The United States ... clipping another thread ...

The line is no longer, chip .. chip

but

snip .. snip.

[Genoa]

I have read that Congress passed a law in 1947 (30 years later) that gave the Secretary of the Interior the right to determine names of such geographical items on federal land.

H/T to our FRiend bob_denard for the post.

Another perspective on the Mt. McKinley dustoff - but this point is important:

But now, by order of the president, another law has been trashed. One wonders what other statutes Obama will overrule during his remaining months in office.

We have all seen far too many instances with this regime, that the law can and will change weekly, perhaps daily, to suit the needs of The Agenda.

"The issue is never the issue - the issue is The Revolution".

Just by EO 13603 alone, Amendments 2, 4, 5, and 8 will disappear at a whim...

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!

[BuffaloJack]

I keep waiting for the name change from Washington DC to Obamatown DC.

[[Obama trashes another law]]

What’s worse is that the GOP-e ALLOW Him to trash the LAW!

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Now he is going to pull the same crap with the Iran treaty.

I am glad to see this thread, because that is the first question that occurred to me when this new controversy first appeared: How have mountains, rivers, physical geographical features traditionally been "named?" worldwide, as well as nationally?

Clearly, it can't be a political process, subject to the whims of each new administration in any and all countries of the world? That sounds like chaos.
We take many things to be self-evident. People never give it a second thought, because it is so irrational to do otherwise that it would make the ridiculed Idiocracy a reality.

I assume that among adults with average intelligence and education it would be common knowledge that to know that no tedious explanations or justifications should be necessary to justify stability and permanence to certain things about our entire country, and even about our immediate neighborhood.

If it takes a law to name very prominent geographic feature world wide, which should a sociopathic megalomaniac be allowed, yes, allowed to take it upon himself to change 225 years of cultural history?

I know that it is a trivial issue compared to more pressing monumental stupidities we are all laboring under.

Imagine if the Kennedy Airport name were unexpectedly changed to Al Sharpie International Airport, where would all the flights in the air land?

Hey Congress, you snooze you lose! We all lose. How much insanity is tolerable?

Who pays for the stupidity? How many documents, forms, computer programs, maps, books, schedules, phone books ad infinitum would have to be changed? All to satisfy the whims of the insane?
