That goes back to Hawaii Five O classic episode back in early 1970s
There was episode of Hawaiann Nationalist go terror plant on nuke plant remember
The Senate loses two liberal senators and the taxpayers lose a whole state full of gibsmedats.
So much win!
The problem with leaving Hawai’i is that the Hawai’ians are no longer the only people living in Hawai’i. I can see an accomadation being reached where the US Government could buy an island like Lanai from Larry Ellison and then provide it to the Hawai’ians for their exclusive use. But the thought of letting a Hawai’ian minority secede from the US and then rule over the majority is a recipe for failure and bloodshed. It cannot be allowed to happen.
Let's see how fast the Hawaiians can recruit, equip and train an army to defend themselves... without US fed aid.
Give the Hawaiians what they want and see it deteriorate to the same third world level as other islands in Micronesia.
I don’t see why Hawaii couldn’t revert to an unincorporated status (similar to Puerto Rico). Allow the monarch status to be introduced back, with some democratic reforms, and allow the US to have basing rights. Other than that....revoke the state status and let them be what they desire. Anyone within the US government who wants to compare them to the US Indians....is sadly mistaken.
A kingdom, if you can keep it.
What happens to the other 94%, do they become second class citizens? Or will your social status depend upon when your ancestors arrived? If so, the 25% of Hawaii residents who are caucasians will be in the number two spot, followed by Japanese, Chinese, Filippino, etc.
This is a stupid exercise made possible only because of the racial identity lunacy gripping the country these past few decades.
You can’t whinge your way to independence. Try war, Hawaii. That often works.
Sorry Hawaii, the South tried this over 100 years ago and it didn’t go too well. Once you’re in you’re in forever.
Ask them for a sign of good faith - BO’s birth certificate.
Take your island and your Democrats too. Bye.
I’m all for this. if they can get freedom from the Federal Government, more power to them.
Let’s see now...Hawaii would become a third-world nation and cheaper to vacation. We lose their liberal congress critters, too. Seems we all win.
Hawaii will be permitted to secede and establish a monarchy. Texas will not be.
NUTS!
Where do I send a donation to this most worthy cause?
As far as I can see that will cost Democrats two Senators and what three congressman? Sounds great to me! Take your poi poi and take a walk.
My brother is buried in the Punch Bowl along with many thousands of USA military personnel who died fighting for the USA. I would not want to see a time when the Punch Bowl is not a dedication to those that died for the USA. That being said I suppose the Punch Bowl could be like the memorial cemeteries in Europe that exist to honor USA soldiers that died in Europe. I have no objection to letting Hawaii be a government apart from the USA. It is my understanding that Hawaii was only chosen for statehood was to offset Alaska’s political statehood.
