Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts !…

I’m no McCain supporter but he earns a definite hat tip for a strong statement in opposition to the Akaka bill.

Right, he made a deal to vote for it (cloture) before he decided he was against it. Sounds like another Machiavellian brain-twister by McCain.

I think that might be a little extreme.

Via Michelle Malkin, I came across this Hawaiian political satire website called ZeroShibai.com. It may be the closest thing I’ve seen in the US to the quality of satire, tone, and wit you get in Britain’s Private Eye. The humor is backed by what ap…

This was done by the Liberal busy bodies since there is no Illini Indian tribe.

Chief Illiniwek is not based on an actual American Indian chief, nor did a historical figure with this name ever exist but there was this tribe

I agree how is this offensive to this Indian tribe. That’s kind of like the KC Chiefs mascot Warpaint. I went to most of the Chief’s games during the 70s and 80s and we thought an awful lot of that horse and it’s rider, then they changed it to a retarded wolf.

More PC crapola

That was a very painful part of both American and Hawaii history. But the nativist talk seems anachronistic, sort of like the “honor Indian treaties” folks and their bumper stickers.

BTW, anyone in Washington who takes that panderer Akaka seriously should be deprogrammed.

Are we going to allow the cancellation of the First ammendment?
This movement to sensor free speech is going on in the EU, Canada, and -of course- in the mid-east.

#8, I live in Hawaii, and it really can be a strange place. The efforts of some “native” Hawaiians to declare certain rocks, places, and even the taro plant “sacred” and, hence, untouchable…”

I am a minority…..have you been to Texas lately?

LOL!

Mister P….obviously we have touched a nerve over your beloved Hawaii. I’m not saying the state isn’t a beautiful place to visit and yes, most folks there I had no problems with. It was the “US vs Them” mentality that left a bad taste in my mouth and organizations like OHA just perpetuate this stupidity

Yep, I love Hawaii AND the Hawaiian people and the Hawaiian culture. In fact my Hawaiian father-in-law IS a conservative Republican I also don’t like that “US vs Them” mentality and never felt like a “Them” in Hawaii. I was part of the Ohana. But understand there are very few people left that are Native Hawaiians. Maybe just 1 percent of the islands. They are beautiful people who feel they have lost there ancestry to some degree. Lets face it they are the only native american people that had a monarchy. Queen Liliokalani was forced by US troops to be secluded in her palace. Missionaries came to make the native Hawaiians Christians, and the sons of these missionaries became the bankers who took the land. They had no concept of capital or ownership and literally lost all of their land.
We actually treated the Hawaiians better than the FIRST Democrat – President Andrew Jackson treated the Indians, he ordered all Cherokee off their land and down the Trail of Tears with just the clothes on their backs. He intentionally created treaties to break them because he was the supreme racist.
Before we call them racists, we need to look at things at least for a moment from their point of view.
When benefits were bestowed to Native Americans they excluded the Hawaiians. So much of the OHA is simply to get the right to have their own CASINOs, just like the Indian tribes.
There are hardly a threat to the US, the rest of Hawaiian citizens or to the visitors.
Sure there is some bias and bitterness in Hawaii. But for me the Spirit of Aloha literally outshone the anger. Just listen to the Hawaiian music.
