[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

Beware America, the racial divide as is well known to Obama will reach America. Democrats use race baiting and lies to achieve socialiost redistributive power. Republicans need to learn how to match the rhetoric and explain how Government does not generate tax revenues, private business does and killing them with racism, do-ggoderisms, and outright anti-capitalistic nonsense will in fact result in what is happening in Hawaii. Remember this, Hawaii is dominated by political power in the unions. The only reason Hawaii is not belly up is because we get 7 million tourists a year (for 1.2 million residents) paying huge tourist dollars and taxes. Thsi island would sink if it ahd to self sustain. But racism is tbhe key ingredient that keeps this political stinker in power. Beware America this is what is going to happen on the USA unless you reverse the tinde, stop immigration and focus on saving private enterprise. Beware.

Racist socialist code words: “The history of the labor unions, and also the state’s diversity and the years and years that many different ethnic groups have struggled to be recognized as equal, that plays a role.”

It’s not totally racism here or the Republicans would have won the governorship. Unions trump everything.

Hawaii’s probably the only state where two of the winning candidates ran on helping Obama carry out his agenda.

[Logic n' Reason]

Hawaii isn't a state....it's a "country". I know. I lived there for over 5 years.

Other than a vacation destination (and yes, there are better "island pardises" to go to), and a place to park Navy vessels, it has nothing to offer.

We can get all the pineapples and sugar we require elsewhere.

We should have sold the damn place to the Japanese when we had the chance.

Ah-LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW-HA!

Never should have been admitted as a state.

51 State House members for a 1.2 million population. That’s about 26,000 people per House legislator. Here in Illinois it’s over 100,000 per House legislator. Heck, Chicago has 50 City Council members for about 2.6 million people. I wonder if there’s a lower ratio of legislators to citizens in any other state?

[A Strict Constructionist]

I still don’t know why we made it a state in the first place. It was a perfectly good military base as it was.
