What an honor to have Gandalf the Grey visit our little corner of the world. We are trying our best to create a new Middle Earth by using the Righteous One Ring of Secession. “One Ring to TEACH them all, One Ring to Find them, One Ring to Bring them all and in the new nation UNBLIND them.”

You there in the Undying Lands in the West are perfectly situated for regaining your nationhood and freedom. It matters not that most of your inhabitants have been made slaves of Sauron and Mordor on the Potomac. It matters not that Wraiths inhabit your State Government. It matters not that there are many Orcs and Uruk-hai on the military bases there. All will be swept away when the Tower falls. That Tower is the US Dollar as world reserve currency. Once the dollar is worthless, and economic collapse occurs, self-interest will take over in Hawai’i and secession will be seen as the only solution.

Please visit as often as you can, Mr. Gandalf. Bring fireworks. Regards, Russ

First, we have to find a way to counter 60 years, plus, of their socialist propaganda and return our educational and communications institutions back to a more fact-based and free enterprise accepting path, then we can begin to neutralize their influence on our young. Until we can find a way to do that, any hope of returning America to a leadership status in the world will remain pure fantasy.

A good start would be: The next time you’re present at some event where an establishment politician (right or left) begins trotting out the same old party sanctioned talking points…the same tired old cookie-cutter speech tailored to what he thinks the audience wants to here, stand up and challenge him to answer a meaningful question, instead. Ask him to give details on how he would balance the budget, say, or what will happen if we put in that big multi-billion dollar mass-transit project he and his cronies want and nobody rides it? Who’s going to pay for it, and how? If the ‘policritter’ dodges the question, or refuses to answer, call him on it. Keep calling them all on it. Do some damn research and find out what these people stand for; who’s backing them; and, what “dogs” they have in the fight. Write letters to the editor. Refuse to vote for them. Support those who’s views most match your own. Work for those candidates; donate to their campaigns….or throw your own hat in the ring if you can’t find a candidate you like. But, do something, even if it’s only posting to blogs and websites like this one. If you don’t, well then, you deserve the consequences. A wise person once said, “If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” Ticked off? Good. Now do something about it!

Moreover, as was also pointed out in postings above, Hawaii is probably the most leftist inclined state in the nation (next to California, perhaps). Those of us on the center/right don’t call it the PRH (Peoples’ Republic of Hawaii) for nothing.

Hawaii…secede? There’s a better chance the Devil will be serving ice cold beer in Hell before that happens!
