    the damn mountain does not belong to you and obumer.

    The country has a right to participate in the decision to change the name of our mountain.
    Just because something has been called something for your whole lifetime doesn't mean anything or imply ownership. It belongs to Alaska and Alaskans, and Denali is the name of the mountain.

    IMO Denali is a much finer word than McKinley... Dah-nah-li

    cigar thinks the name "Denali" was given only 40 years ago.

    Please... You don't partake in the political debates here enough to throw around senseless memes and have credibility doing it...

    It's been called Denali by indigenous tribes for much longer than it's ever been McKinley, but no, it's been more than 40 years.

    Actually that's history, you just might want to learn some of it before you unzip your fly and reveal how little you know.
