Yep, Denali is just fine. There are far more battles out there worth fighting.

Sarah Palin is ok with “Denali”, that’s good enough for me.

The indigenous people of Alaska called it Denali for centuries before it was named after McKinley.

I'm at the point where my attitude is "screw the indigs and all other Democrat voters".

[scrabblehack]

It can.
In fact, Denali has quite a few variant names:

I'm at the point where my attitude is "screw the indigs and all other Democrat voters".

Yea, well I'm not. There are certainly people of all stripes that use Democrat / Cultural Marxist techniques for disingenuous political persuasion. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a prime example. I see no reason for that to stop us from being rational about things. The well established historical, cultural, and locally recognized name of the mountain is Denali. There's no reason for that to change.

Ohioans should mind their own business and leave the mountain’s name to Alaskans.

Ford was a naval officer and actually served on a carrier in a time of war.

What a crock of sh*t. No one knows what it was called 500 years ago, let alone 10,000 years ago.”

Yep, and they are no more native than Americans born there just because they crossed from the west when Alaska was attached to what is now part of Russia. Arriving first does not make anyone a native.

Thanks so much for such vivid thoughts
