No More Hawaii Islam Days
By Sam Slom, 12/29/2009 10:28:53 AM
Okay, I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it. The latest airline bomb attempt by a radical Islamic terrorist flying to Detroit is the last straw. And the response by President Barack Hussein Obama vacationing in Hawaii today, and Secretary of Homeland Defense Janet Napolitani\o is a disgrace and embarassing. Daily, the evidence mounts that our intelligence and security is clueless. Despite spending more billions, inconveniencing American travelers more, the system and the process are flawed.
At the center of the failure is the continuation of giving Muslims a free pass in these terror episodes. And bureaucrats like Napolitano who should be fired. (Jailed if I were in charge).
To be sure, not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists have been Muslims. When will we learn the lesson that political correctness is incorrect? When will we get serious about profiling those most likely to do us harm—just as the Israelis and most Europeans already do?
Does this Administration really believe the American people are that moronic as to believe the spin that is thrown at us? And that we really don’t have any “enemies?”
Do we really believe that disallowing blankets or anything on our laps, the prohibition against using the rest room or leaving your seat the last hour of a flight will make us safer?
How much have we spent thus far on airline security? Was it $50 billion or more? What are the results? And now the President wants even more money? For what?
It is like spending $2.7 billion annually on Hawaii public schools and continuing to get lower test scores, less instructional days and more union and DOE power and control. As long as we give the HSTA, DOE and BOE a free pass, nothing will change and our kids will not be better educated.
Bottom line: for those that foisted an Islam Day holiday on the people of Hawaii September 24, 2009, let us be sure to say, no more, not again, not on our American soil, until we get really serious with those clearly identified Muslim terrorists and Muslim countries who want to kill us. This is not fear mongering; this is the fact of living in the real world with real killers.
The 2010 Hawaii State Legislature convenes January 20. Carefully watch for any early indications of those that would change the focus of our real security by proping up those who subscribe to, or are silent about, continued Islamic Jihad against America.

Bump
Nobody EVER said that people that live or are from HI are smart. Hell that are not that far removed from savages. OK GET IT STRAIGHT Hawaii, the ONLY thing that made you a “state” was Dec 7 1941 GOT IT!?
Well, I was in Kailua not too long ago, and was pleased to see all the Christian Churches around. Didn’t see a single mosque.
But we all know that those Iowans are all smart and they have no liberal democrats in their house and senate. Oh, did I just put down a whole state because there are a few idiots there? Mr. Vet, I appreciate your service but try thinking before mouthing.
So what the heck has Islam done for Hawaii besides give us that Jack@ss _resident we’re stuck with?
Not yet, give it time..
Having a Hawaii Christian Day would of course violate the ACLU Church and State rewriting of the Constitution. But Hawaii Islam Day is perfectly fine, according to our legislature.
*&^% You
Islam Day ? Sounds like an excuse for a pig roast.
You are still mouthing before thinking!!! I read somewhere that people that give a comeback with nothing but swearing are low IQ. You are proving that sir.
huh?
Huh what?
You seem very Highly Opinionated. LOL Your parents were right on good people.
An “moronic” as Islam Day might be, it’s nothing compared to the implementation of the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act, which would codify racism in Hawaii, and “transfer a percentage of public-owned lands to a native Hawaiian government within the state of Hawaii”.

Totally agree. Our corrupt politicians are only too ready to sell us down the river for future monetary payoffs (unregulated and unlimited political donations from gambling money being run through the new “tribe”).
Oh yes — gambling. Another avenue for corruption.
