Dennis, it's not only laughable, it is hypocritical that the liberals would take offence to naming something after an area of origin because it is believed by them to be offensive and r****t. Oh how strange that those in Government have chosen to name dozens upon dozens of Federal, State, Academic and other facilities after the most r****t card carrying member of the KKK that served as a Democratic Senator...The Consensus of the Senate...Robert C. Byrd, who fought long and hard against the Equal Rights Amendment. Here's a partial list of those buildings named in his honor today:
