Coming up with a better name
Has anybody seen this?

The cult of Ronald Reagan's personality continues on Utah's Capitol Hill.
Draper Republican Rep. LaVar Christensen is sponsoring a resolution encouraging Congress to rename Hill Air Force Base after the former president.
Christensen argues Utah's largest military installation and the beloved Republican president are intrinsically linked in bringing about the end of the Cold War with "peace through strength."
Congress named Hill Air Force Base after an Air Corps pilot, Maj. Ployer Peter Hill, who died in an experimental airplane crash in Ohio.

Now, if you want to rename an Air Force Base to promote peace, wouldn't you pick a more appropriate name than "Reagan Hill?" How about "Clinton Hill?" Has a nice ring to it. But if that happened, then there would be Republican outcry all over the land.
