According to Wikipedia the person who first named it Mount McKinley was a gold propector who was doing it in support of McKinley's presidential campaign. Does anyone know if that's true, or is it a Wiki-ism? Republicans, who say they favour state's rights i.e. the autonomy of states to make decisions about things internal to the state, are opposed to the federal recognition of a decision the state of Alaska made back in 1975. Hypocrisy, how does it work? Wikipedia sure got onto the official name change fast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denali |
Here's an article dating back to 1897 which talks about the mountain and it's McKinley naming. I doubt the Republican candidates really care about this issue, just a political stunt that will be forgotten by next Monday. If someone were to expose their hypocrisy on such a minor issue, that would make my day.
