I’m sure Obama really admires King Kamehameha
Kamehameha , utterly destroyed all opposition to his hegemony.
Clubbing to death entire villages belonging to opposing Ali’i
and sometimes doing the honors personally .
He was a fine King of mass murder and mayhem and all cowered before his genocidal wrath . Bit by bit he destroyed all opposition , enslaving the regular kanaka of defeated Ali’i ,mus as todays muslims would like to do to the ‘infidels’.
All was well until he came up against 2 things : Typhoid fever and the Ka’ie’iewaho Channel , between Oahu and Kauai .Both stopped the mad King cold , every time .
How do I know these things? One of my great great great Uncles was the English language and military adviser to the Chief Ali’i of Kauai , Kaumuali’i.
Beaten by God and humbled Kamehameha finally relented , repented and a truce and treaty for Kauai was accepted .
Not a military defeat . Kamehameha’s offspring and namesakes were far kinder and enlightened than the original one , whom loved to sacrifice (live) victims to Ku , the God of war , and at his heiaus ( temples) to the shark god.
And for this gentleman , America is to join in celebration ?
That’s nothing. Obama is proclaiming next Friday, Joseph Stalin Day.
I’m of Hawaiian ancestry, born and raised on the islands, and I wouldn’t celebrate Kamehameha Day even if I live in Honolulu.
this is whom should really be honored , from Hawai’i
