An Arkansas state representative filed a resolution Wednesday to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
If approved, State Rep. Aaron Pilkington’s resolution would also require all state agencies to use the term “Gulf of America.”
The Republican, who represents parts of Johnson and Pope counties in northwest Arkansas, said renaming the gulf would “reinforce the role it plays in supporting the prosperity and security of the United States.”
It’s clear now why the metric system hasn’t caught on even after the US officially adopted it. This country I live in is full of pathetic fragile losers who have to demand everything is America first.
