L.A.'s name too divine? 'Angels' reference may mean trouble

San Francisco is named after St. Francic of Assisi. Ironically, patron saint of animals.

[luvbach1]

Of course, as a compromise, we could always refer to San Diego and San Francisco as Dago and Frisco, respectively, as generations of "swabbies" have.

Hmmm, what will they offer for a new name?
Castrograd perhaps?
Chomskystadt?
Villa Chavez?

Power-seekers like clumsy termininology (since forces everyone to go out of their way to accommodate PS preferences). How about O'Hair-RamseyClarkberg?

I've got it, Multicultistan.

[Cicero]

Just change the name officially to:

LA LA LAND

[bikepacker67]

Now, those Sangre de Cristo mountains in New Mexico--that's going to take more work. After all, Sangre de Cristo means 'blood of Christ.'

How 'bout we continue with your unnoticed misspelling idea...

Sangre de Crisco - loosely translated as "High Cholesterol"

San Francisco is named after St. Francic of Assisi.

Can the ACLU prove that St. Francis of Assisi was a diety or is worshiped?

[A. Pole]

Well if Los Angeles were required to change it's name, so would San Diego and San Francisco.

And Providence which should be renamed into Randomness. Los Angeles can be changed into Fallen Angels or LaVey City. San Francisco can become simply Sodom while San Diego will be Capital de la República del Norte.

Please accept my vote for Multicultistan, California.

[SwinneySwitch]

I work in the Body of Christ(Corpus Christi, TX) nearly every day.

[bootless]

Yeah, bump for Multicultistan. (SHEESH!)

[Aeronaut]

I guess I'll be living in a suburb just north of Paul, MN.

[bd476]

St. Louis you beat me to it, then there's St. Paul, St. Petersburg and I suppose all of England will want royalties on New York, New England...

[Fiddlstix]

Don't any of these idiots have anything better to do with their time........

[annyokie]

I surely hope not! St. Francis is the patron of my alma mater.

Isn't funny how the left sees the bill of rights:

The first Amendment, starting with "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion", applies to all levels of government, right down to states and cities.

But the second amendment, stating "The right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" only applies to the federal government, and the states / cities can do what they want and not violate it.

Fascinating.

[bd476]

Nah, they'd change it to "The city originally named after the guy who was blinded by lightning, converted on the road to Damascus..."

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Just what religion does the name Los Angeles establish? Aren't angels (or spirits) common to most religions?

Shouldn't we be able to ban the ACLU as they do the work of the devil, a very religious character identified in Islam?

[Seniram US]

The ACLU can probably be best described with one word in the plural

"Bolsheviks"

In my humble opinion: Out of many comes the destruction of Christianity, while the Christians dream and the Bolsheviks scheme under the guise of separation of church and state. They don't intend separation; rather decapitation.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Someone get these idiots a job that they're qualified for. I hear McDonald's is looking for burger flippers...

[DumpsterDiver]

replace a Christian cross ... with depictions of ... indigenous people.

So, what do ya think?

This?





Or this?
