Can't they just rename the Ohio Turnpike the McKinley Turnpike or something and let Alaskans name their own mountains? Plus Denali just sounds better.


Ohio lawmakers reacted angrily Sunday to the White House's announcement that President Obama would formally rename Alaska's Mt. McKinley — North America's highest peak — "Denali" during his trip to The Last Frontier this week.

"Mount McKinley ... has held the name of our nation's 25th President for over 100 years," Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Ohio, said in a statement. "This landmark is a testament to his countless years of service to our country." Gibbs also described Obama's action as "constitutional overreach," saying that an act of Congress was required to rename the mountain, because a law formally naming it after Ohio's William McKinley was passed in 1917.

"This political stunt is insulting to all Ohioans, and I will be working with the House Committee on Natural Resources to determine what can be done to prevent this action," Gibbs said.

Those dumb ass suck ups in Alaska caved to politicians years ago trying to seek statehood so they bastardized Denali to kiss enough ass in the hopes of becoming a state and not just a territory.  So lets take a president who was shot and killed and has absolutely nothing to do with Alaska and name something after him.  The federal government has no business naming shit after dead guys who take a bullet.  Let Alaskans do what they need to do and want to do. Shit, naming the park Denali and the mountain McKinley only cohfuses people.   Fuck Ohio.   They changed Cape Canaveral back from Kennedy, and Kennedy got his brains blown out in front of a lot more people

Kind of off-topic, but McKinley had a decent combover.

The Ohioans can call it McKinley if they want.   Shit, I still call DTE Pine Knob.   Kids get confused when I say "mom and I are going to Pine Knob for a concert".

No use checking the facts when you want to advance a narrative.


"We must retain this national landmark's name in order to honor the legacy of this great American president and patriot," Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, whose district includes McKinley's hometown of Niles, in eastern Ohio.

gHost Spartan wrote:Years ago Janet renamed a popular mountain here in Phoenix without approval of the legislature and the Republicans went apeshit. She renamed what was previously known as Squaw Peak after a Native American woman killed in Iraq, Lori Piestewa, a Hopi from Arizona killed in the same ambush as Jessica Lynch. So when she renamed it Piestewa Peak the GOP went crazy because she didn't go through the proper procedures and didn't wait 5 years after Piestewa died. Politicians and people will get mad over idiotic stuff like this just because, even though its the right thing to do. I find it mind-boggling that anyone would object to renaming a local mountain after a female soldier killed in Iraq.

You don't say?

I never see people get mad over trivial or stupid stuff on social media...especially politicians.

It will be so sad when climbers can't locate the mountain because they have an out of date map that still says Mt McKinley.

Isn't there a mountain around Toledo Ohio can name after the former President?
