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!

Good points, and I submit that we will see many more acts of Obamunist-progressive pandering in this final 1+ year, I'm expecting some national monuments like:

Mt. Wellstone, in honor of the great progressive Senator lost tragically (?!?) in a small plane crash for which the phrase 'Wellstone Gag-A-Palooza' was coined.

Margaret Sanger Memorial Park, honoring the genocidal views and policies which led to the American holocaust of unborn children, but in the Obamunist view, it prevented women from being 'punished' with a baby, and helped 'medical research', you know, just like Mengele did in WWII.

U.S.S. Edward M. Kennedy, next naval ship to be named for Fat Teddy the Traitorous 'RAT, diabolically appropriate considering how Teddy eagerly worked to undermine the Reagan Administration's military and foreign policies by making overtures to the Soviet Union's Chairman Andropov. There are my three projected executive orders coming from lil boy Barky, anyone care to add to them?

I watched and waited for years for the USS J.F.K. to be retired so I wouldn't have to watch that old rust bucket (no offense to her fine crew and airwing) steal headlines from all the other ships doing fine work in whatever region of the world needed US power projection. It did not matter how many ships or troops were around or what each ones accomplishments were. The media only cared about how many times they could print "USS John F Kennedy" in the story.

Now I see the US Navy did not wait even one generation to rename one of its next Nimitz class boats (OK, Ford class, sheesh) after who else? JFK. God help us if they ever name a boat the "Clinton". The progressive will never let it die.

Remember Cape Canaveral then Cape Kennedy then back to Cape Canaveral.

Cape Canaveral became Cape Kennedy back in 1963, and eventually was renamed back to Canaveral. The launch sight retained the Kennedy name.

Ridiculous question.
Why would anything be named after a queer pro-sodomy Supreme Court Justice who is still alive?
