Actually it’s Republican politicians from Alaska that have been pushing for the change. Obama simply approved what they were asking for so it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with what’s right. The mountain never should have been named after McKinley…especially since he was from Ohio and his feet never touched Alaskan soil.
I have no issue with the name being “restored”, but like nearly everything thats been done by The Manchurian Candidate, its to further an agenda. Destroy history and replace it with a narrative that supports that agenda.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue, street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - George Orwell, from 1984
He (maobama) promised to fundamentally change America. He is fulfilling that promise.
America assumed it would be getting a good change.
The result of assuming is boldly apparent, although many of us already knew.
After they renamed it to Pik Somori in 1990, name “Pik Komunizma” (Peak of Communism) is basically free to take. I decided to mention this just in case, you know…
Alaska state legislature has been trying to change it for decades, Fed has blocked every turn because Ohio raises a stink and it is a swing state so the parties cave on the subject.
This might be the only good thing that has come out of the last 7 years. People decrying it are just Bigots that clearly don’t understand the issue.
Now you’re joking, right? Next you’ll tell me Obama doesn’t want any gun control
Obamas goal to fundamentally transform America
And he’s been doing it with his phone and pen. He blames republicans for everything, not that he should complain they give him almost everything. Plus this country has never been this racially divided in years since he took office, hell it hasn’t been this divided for as long as I remember in my 47 years
It’s a feel good measure and smokescreen by the Obama administration to push global warming and to smooth over the admin giving Royal Dutch Shell drilling permits off the Alaskan coast.
You’re seriously going to come on this board and lump the Tea Party, a grass roots political organization in with terrorists and political dissidents like Occupy Wall Street, #ONLY Black Lives Matter, and ****ing ISIS???
When Tea Party members start to shut down whole cities with mass civil disobedience, assassinate LEOs, burn down Ferguson, MO. and Baltimore, MD, behead people of another religion from that of their own, sexually enslave Yazidi women and rape them thirty times before lunch . . . you let me know okay.
I’m pretty sure the only thing he did was sign a piece of paper. Not much energy or effort involved, there.
What should worry you are all the people in this thread and in the media who think that this is something that should be focused on.
You want to know why America is divided? Turn on your TV and alternate between Fox, MSNBC, and CNN.
If the Fourth Estate didn’t report on it, local, state, and federal lawmakers and leaders wouldn’t have to do or say anything about it. And if they did say something about it, it could easily just be ignored. But that’s not what’s happening, is it? No, the Fourth Estate has chosen its causes and it will run with them until they get bored or stop making money from them. And one way they make money is by convincing part of the country that the other parts are apathetic, evil, insane, and/or tyrannical.
And some liberal somewhere reading his post is thinking, “You’re seriously going to come on this board and lump the Occupy Movement and Black Lives Matter, grass roots political organizations in with terrorists and political dissidents like the Teabaggers and ****ing ISIS???”
