Ohio Secedes
 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...395_story.html

"President Obama’s conservative critics have long said there is no depth to which he will not sink in his zeal to trash the Constitution. Now, apparently, they also think there is no height to which he will not climb in that same effort.
Dana Milbank writes about political theater in the nation’s capital. He joined the Post as a political reporter in 2000.
Obama went to the very top this weekend – to 20,320 feet to be exact – and stripped North America’s highest peak of its official name of the last century, Mt. McKinley, returning it to what Alaskans had called it for centuries: Denali, or Great One."


"At the conservative outlet Breitbart.com, Ben Shapiro asked, “Why did Obama choose to change the name now? Presumably because Obama has now solved all the world’s problems, and decided against his second choice, Mt. Trayvon.” Shapiro said a “more serious” explanation was that Obama “opposes the legacy of President McKinley,” which includes the Spanish-American war and annexing various territories. Asked Shapiro: “[W]hen will President Obama change the name of the American Southwest to Aztlan?” The deeper one wandered into the conservative blogosphere and twitterverse, the uglier the messages became – about Obama’s anti-American views, his Muslim practices and his urge to defecate on his predecessors." WaPo

Thanks Obama ;)

I haven't heard it referred to as Mt. McKinley in decades. In the 3 times I went to Alaska for nearly a month apiece, I never once heard anyone refer to it as Mt. McKinley. It fun to watch Ohio Republicans get all twisted about it though. Well played, Mr. President.

"The GOP pause in the midst of re-naming everything in the lower 48 after Ronald Reagan to protest the re-naming of McKinley back to the name it had for centuries.
"Great insult to Ohio. I will change back" says Trump, who is SUDDENLY concerned about insulting people!
One conservative columnist complained that the mountain is being named after a truck.
Because Trump isn't the only idiot."

Now, why on earth would Obama rename it Mt. Trayvon?

Oh!! Right!

These people are so unhinged by the reality of a competent and, despite constant obstruction, successful black president that they canpt contain their racist hatred.

You're right.

It is amusing.

They are as obsessed with their hatred of Obama as you are with yours for Hillary. ;)

Great move by the President restoring the historical name. Now how about a repeat performance changing the name from Reagan Airport back to National Airport. Better yet take a vote in DC (where there is taxation without representation) and let them decide for themselves and we know what the outcome will be. There will be riots in the House and Senate at the very least. :D

Sounds good to me. ;)

Want to watch their heads explode?

Change the name of that airport in D.C. to "Angela Davis International".

That'll do it.

It'll never happen, of course, but what could happen is renaming it James Earl Carter Int'l Airport. I think that might make even more heads explode.

I didn't go to Hebrew school so I had no bar mitzvah. Perhaps that's why I never reached adulthood. Anyway...I did go to confirmation classes for a few years. It was an utter drag but a few of the guys enjoyed the social torture we perped on schmucks like Ben Shapiro. Most of whom probably turned out like Ben Shapiro in order to extract their revenge later in life. If our behavior toward these dorks had been much worse, I suspect they would have ended up becoming school gunners and torturers of small animals.

What characteristics marked these certain individuals for victimhood? What about Ben Shapiro fits this profile?

Tom Joad 09-01-2015 09:17 AM

Denali is an awesome name for a big ass mountain!:)

Mount McKinley on the other hand is quite uninspiring to say the least.

Pio1980 09-01-2015 09:28 AM

In Ohio, it is called Denial.

Edited without consent. :)

There are seven models of Denali big ass trucks/SUV's. Now that gasoline prices are low, expect their sales to go through the roof. When someone asks casually "what are you driving?" and you respond "a Denali named after Obama's favorite mountain". :)

This is going to be a major windfall for GM and all for pissing off Ohio. OTOH, Ohio may not swing to the Dem's in 2016.
