LOL, man what happened to you people in Colorado. you weren't such ninnies when I lived there in the 80's. and how about the waste of taxpayer money?

SNIP:
Governor Hickenlooper not afraid to tackle the tough issues.

Via Denver Post:

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order Tuesday creating a commission to discuss American Indian high school mascots.

The group would include tribes, local community members and state agencies to find common ground, said Ernest House Jr., executive director of the Colorado Office of Indian Affairs.

In the last legislative session, a bill carried by state Reps. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, and Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, that would have required tribal approval for public schools to continue using American Indian mascots passed in the Democrat-led state House but was killed by a Republican-led Senate committee.

Guess this one has to go too, unless Irish people don't mind. (and by Irish people, using progressive logic, only a handful have to be offended for the image to be "bad").

meanwhile we have "Blackhawk", "Apache", "Comanche", "Chinook", "Lakota", "Sioux", "Iriquois", "Cheyenne" and "Kiowa" helicopters, the Grey Eagle drone, Operation "Geronimo", Tomahawk missles...etc..

Activist, pansy, beta males rush from issue to issue eager to be "offended" by something..

Stickinpooper has a habit of doing stupid things to play to his far left progressive (displaced Kalifornians) base. And when the rest of the state rises up in anger he claims he wasn't aware of the full ramifications of his actions, all but the far right buy it and he stays in office.
