Republican disappointment with renaming of Mt.McKinley sparks petition drive-rename Reagan airport

President Obama returning the name of the United States’ tallest mountain from Mount McKinley to Denali has sparked a name-game feud, most recently Republicans under attack by an influential liberal PAC that is setting its sights on Ronald Reagan National Airport.

The group, CREDO Action, the political arm of San Francisco-based cellphone company Credo Mobile, is behind the effort with a petition drive.

“Tell John Boehner: Rename Ronald Reagan Airport,” the group writes on its webpage seeking petition signatures. “President Obama just took a small but important step for recognizing the history, culture, and human rights of America’s Native Americans when he decided to rename …. Mount McKinley in Alaska. But right-wing extremists in the Republican party, including House Speaker Rep. John Boehner, don’t see it that way.”

Now that Denali, part of the “Athabaskan creation story” has been shown for what it is, it must be removed from U.S. government property (Denali National Park). Like the Ten Commandments or a cross, it is a violation of the commie lib SCROTUS “separation of church and state” thingy. Barry is going to have to import a lot of Mexican Nationals to move that sucker!

I lived up there for a few years, and the name was changed by the Governor back around 1975, so the only thing I can imagine is the name changes on maps and possibly fed gov takeover of property management if it's not already. Someone was obviously kissing Zippy's ass, not mentioning Lisa Murkowski of course.

“Good luck finding a real mountain in Ohio”

In Ohio’s Eighth Congressional District there is a mountain to rival the best of them...a man-made mountain of insurmountable proportions composed of discarded liquor bottles, complements of none other than the Bonehead Speaker of the House...as real as it gets!

So I guess they want to call the airport “Barney ‘Sweet Gums’ Franks International”?
