“Actually, long before DCA was renamed for Pres. Reagan, everybody I knew just called it “National Airport” — liberals and conservatives alike. Not a nefarious leftwing plot. So not to worry.”
Oh, I know that it was called National long before it was renamed, and that much of the resistance to calling it Reagan is just typical resistance to renaming things (like the RFK/Triboro bridge in NYC). But I did hear numerous times, from DC natives, that the resistance was at least boosted by dislike for Reagan.

Sure. I expect them to say things like that. But then, since when should we give great credibility to leftists? If they didn’t have the airport “issue” to complain about, they’d just find some other convenient way to bash Reagan and other conservatives.
