I call on all conservatives/sensible Atlasians/non-hacks to boycott the now-renamed airports in the Washington area. From now on, I shall only fly from Baltimore/Washington Airport for Washington air travel.

     Alternatively, we could always rename other airports in honor of Barry Goldwater & Charles de Gaulle. Tongue

You want it to just be Washington National Airport again? Interesting.

The airport was named after the country's first president until 1998, when Republicans in Congress forced it to change its name against the wishes of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and the people of D.C. and NoVA.

I said "earlier", that is, their names immediately before this bill passed, not "original".

Who is this Ronald Reagan guy you're talking about? This is Atlasia, we shouldn't name our airports after some fictional character.

Besides, he sounds like a HP anyway.

I'm glad you didn't support this bill then, considering the airports were named after two other fictional characters. Wink

Ah, so renaming it after Reagan wasn't a hack move? lol

It never ceases to amaze me how dumb some people are.

You see that little red county at the top there? Arlington County? Yeah, that's where the airport is located.

So? Arlington County != NoVA. Reagan won NoVA as a whole, and handily. And even Arlington and Alexandria went to Mondale by only 5 points. So your argument about the 1998 name-change being passed "against the wishes of...NoVA" is dubious at best. Northern Virginians certainly disapprove of the current name more than they did the old one, I'm sure.

Can we get rid of everything named after Franklin Roosevelt in a Republican area?

Many people in Arlington still refer to it as "National" or "Washington National".  Very few call it "Reagan".  Just fyi.

So? Arlington/Alexandria "leaders" don't speak for the "people of NoVA", which is what your first post had.

You're also using a double standard, as you'll use the opinion of "leaders" when it comes to naming the airport for Reagan, but you voted to rename the airport for Walter Mondale when there was no local input at all!

Political leaders elected by the people don't speak for the people? Okay dude...

And considering that the local governments of Northern Virginia and DC are not represented in this game at all I don't really know how you expect us to listen to their input.
