Does it amuse anyone else to see crazed leftists, Canadians and others who could be described by C-words go bat shit crazy every time President Trump, AKA “The Great Needler,” changes the name of something?
Most recently, he has rechristened Lake Ontario as Lake America and Canadians, among others, are predictably outraged.
Never mind that the Canucks’ Woke rulers have spent the past decades renaming Canadian streets and various areas of the country to avoid possibly offending anyone. Never mind resultant confusion with things such as mail delivery. I know this because it was posted on a junior mining web site I frequent and I looked it up to confirm.
As the Lili Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn) character screamed in Blazing Saddles, It’s true, it’s true. Or more like it’s twue, it’s twue.
This sort of s – – – (stuff) didn’t begin with Trump. Recall Peking now is Beijing, Bombay now is Mumbai, Constantinople is now Istanbul, Saigon is Ho Chi Minh City, etc., etc., etc.
No one worried about those changes. Wonder why?
Trump already has substituted Gulf of America for Gulf of Mexico. To paraphrase Shakespeare, what’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Funny, too, how the raging leftists applauded Mount McKinley being renamed Denali. Cape Canaveral went to Cape Kennedy and back to Cape Canaveral, all without mass protests in the streets or in social media.
Selective outrage, that is the core principle of the radical leftists.
They rage, threaten and generally make asses of themselves as they commit philosophical Twister trying to defend or decry diametrically opposed ideas based solely on which side of the political spectrum proposed them.
Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is vintage button pushing by the guy who is better at this than most. He knows the thin-skinned Canadians, whose national GDP is about 50 percent less than California’s, will be in a maple syrup lather over it all.
Talk about a terminal inferiority complex, they name is Canada.
This is what makes them, and raging leftists in general, such easy targets.
Poke them and the unhinged response arrives in nanoseconds. I’d love to play poker with these buffoons.
Come to think of it, Trump already is and, to borrow one of his pet phrases, he’d got all the cards.
