Time to Rename Lunatic Lane
In 2000, a stretch of I-285 was renamed Cynthia McKinney Parkway after the former Georgia Representative. It commemorates accomplishments such as these by Ms. McKinney:
- Assaulted a Capitol Police officer out of sheer orneriness, then tried to turn it into a racial incident;
- Helped create the seat she holds through race-based gerrymandering;
- Was a member of the extremely radical Progressive Caucus;
- Has a voting record that is applauded by the AFL-CIO, NARAL, and the NEA, a teacher's union that bears heavy responsibility for the current sorry state of affairs in education;
- Has voted to legalize killing babies even after they are born;
- Has voted against safeguards to prevent fraudulent voting;
- Has refused to vote to condemn the rabidly racist lunatics at Nation of Islam;
- Has taken every possible opportunity to express her hostility toward Israel;
- Has taken massive political campaign contributions from radical Muslims;
- Begged for the $10 million Rudy Giuliani turned down after 9/11 from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal — money that came attached to the message that we deserved what we got for supporting Israel;
- Publicly said, "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11. What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?….What do they have to hide?";
- Supported brutal Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe's policy of confiscating land from Caucasians;
- Counts the Association of Trial Lawyers of America as one of her biggest campaign contributors; and
- Was named March 2006 Moonbat of the Month™ by Moonbattery and Something… and Half of Something.
Despite this impressive list of achievements, some want the road to revert to its old name, Memorial Drive, in honor of those who have died protecting the freedoms moonbats like McKinney are so wont to abuse. As State House Rep. Mike Jacobs argues:
Who's more deserving? I think the question answers itself.… [And] in light of the fact that her commitment to the state of Georgia is nil, we should re-double our efforts to remove her name from a state road.
McKinney lives in California now, where a cult calling itself Run! Cynthia! is trying to draft her as a presidential candidate on the Green Party ticket.

"Memorial Drive sounds good! If not, Screwball Street has a certain ring to it!

Memorial drive connected Atlanta out to Stone Mountain. It was your typical drive to the suburbs boulevard heading from downtown. When I was a teenager it had a Steak N Shakethat was the highet grossing one in America. Today, it's a drive through garbage. Her popularity among the people that destroyed this area was sky high. Her only problem was that her district also meandered into the Emory area which is heavily Jewish and a couple of times, the upper middle class blacks in South Dekalb would recoil in horror. Though remember they did re-elect here the second time. I beleive she could run and win there again now that the heat is off.

As Donald stated, Memorial Drive is a surface street, I-285 is the 66-mile Perimeter Loop around Atlanta. The name simply needs to be removed, as well as the section named for her father, Billy McKinney, a thug moonbat in his own right.
One of Georgia's problems is that it names highways after politicians that are still alive and capable of mischief.

Donald, isn't Stone Mountain where the modern Klan was reborn? Irony of ironies!
And am I the only one who thinks that picture of McKinney was taken just as she put her finger in a light socket?

I don't know if it was reborn there, but a loon named Max Venable who was a Klan Knut lead cross burnings on the mountain a long time to go.
To me, Stone Mountain is the place where I went camping as a boy scout, a few years later nailed a way over my head, complete piece of ass from Georgia State who thought I was a punk rocker.

Dayum! That's one nappy-headed ho!

Jay,
The modern Klan was born of American Nazis who were driven underground durring the war. In 1959 the United Daughters of the Confederacy got a law passed in Florida that banned the KKK from displaying any of the Confederate flags.
