New racism in new bottles
The Washington Times ^ | 7-15-05 | Bruce Fein

Posted on 07/15/2005 11:11:20 AM PDT by JZelle

On the heels of apologizing for its old racism in thwarting anti-lynching laws, the U.S. Senate is poised to initiate a new racism celebrated in the so-called "Akaka Bill." It would summon into being for the first time a race-based Native Hawaiian sovereignty operating outside the U.S. Constitution. Only persons with at least "one drop" of Native Hawaiian blood would enjoy the right to create the new sovereign entity with its sweeping immunities from federal and state laws. The Akaka bill would authorize and have the United States facilitate Hawaiian officials in relinquishing the State's sovereignty over a portion of its citizens and territory. In addition, it would authorize transfer of part of the state's lands, natural resources and other assets to the new race-based sovereign gratis, all without the approval of the state legislature or the consent of its citizens Proponents oppose any amendment, for example, a requirement of approval by a majority of adult Native Hawaiians before all Native Hawaiians are subjected to the new race-based government; a prohibition on racial, religious or ethnic discrimination; a proscription on secession; an injunction against evicting the U.S. military from Pearl Harbor; or, an obligation to honor the Bill of Rights. They even reject a requiring a plebiscite in Hawaii to determine if its citizens wish to carve out of every island multiple sovereign racial enclaves.

This means racially quantifying every Hawaiian resident. Genetic tests too maybe? I got a verbal smackdown from my employer (soon to be ex-exployer) for not filling out 'demographic data'. Next thing you know government will be forcing you to submit your DNA.

Hmmmm...
The original title says "bottles" too.
Shouldn't that be "battles"?

We hold these truths to be self evident...

Some folks are just more equal than others and deserve extra 'rights and privileges'...

We have to take things away from some for the benefit of those who have less -Hillary paraphrasing one of her favorite gods Karl Marx

No. We'd just become two: the blue US and the red US.

Would it really be so bad?

In a word, no.

This bill is idiotic and so is ... ahem.. 'senator' Akaka. This bill would, for all practical purposes, make Hawaii a separate nation. This is from the jackasses senate website:

The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act does three things.

  1. It establishes the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations in the Department of the Interior to serve as a liaison between Native Hawaiians and the United States.
  2. It establishes the Native Hawaiian Interagency Coordinating Group to be composed of federal officials from agencies which administer Native Hawaiian programs.... intended to increase coordination between the Native Hawaiians and the federal government.
  3. And third, the bill provides a process of reorganization of the Native Hawaiian governing entity.

S. 147, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005

The Akaka bill is just fronting for this group: Hawaii Nation which is run out of Chicago the far left lawyer, Francis Boyle.

Read the links. The picture of Clinton signing the "apology resolution" is priceless.

Amazing. Evil never rests. After all this time, I can't believe something like this would even raise it's ugly head.
