Destroying America...

It's Not Just the Obamas Going to Hawaii This December
[Kathryn Jean Lopez]

For years (since 1999), Daniel Akaka has been trying to make the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act law. On Friday afternoon, the minority on the House Natural Resources Committee got word that there will be a mark-up on it on Wednesday. Apparently there's an agreement on the bill, but Republicans on the committee haven't seen it.
The Hill rumor is that Democrats plan to attach Akaka to the Department of Defense funding bill before this session ends — basically, sneaking it in at a busy, contentious time of year to avoid full debate.Here's how we editorialized about the Akaka bill in 2006:
The Akaka bill is a terrible piece of legislation. Every aspect of it—from its premises to its goals to its methods—undermines the American belief that we are one people from many. It would create a separate government for “native” Hawaiians, who would in all likelihood be determined almost exclusively by bloodlines. The new government would be able to conduct sovereign-to-sovereign relations with the United States, much as Indian tribes do today. Although no one knows what the final form of the government would be, presumably some 400,000 “natives” would be invited to weigh in—even a resident of New Hampshire who has never stepped foot in Hawaii and has but a trace of Hawaiian blood would get a say in forming the new government. The most pernicious outcome is perhaps the only one that is assured: The governing entity would lead to a permanent hereditary caste in Hawaii, where natives—defined however the interim government chooses to define them—enjoy at least some rights that non-natives do not. Tax-exempt status and immunity from Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations are two possibilities.
Akaka would be an unconstitutional, race-based mistake. It shouldn't pass. And it really shouldn't be snuck in as Christmas gift to Daniel Akaka.

A little information about the Hawaiian civilization from a Lucianne poster:

Think the pre-contact Hawaiians were eglatarian, democratic practicers of free love? Think again:Ancient Hawai‘i was a caste society. People were born into specific social classes and did not have the ability to move into another, except in the case of falling into outcast status.Ali‘i - royal class. They governed with divine power called mana.Kahuna - priestly class. The priesthood; scientists and exceptional navigators.Maka‘ainana - commoners class, charged with laboring for the overall economy.Kauwa - the outcast or slave class - people of low birth, born without mana. They were not allowed to move up in the caste system or improve their conditions. Mingling with other castes was strictly prohibited. Prisoners of war - forced to serve the ali‘i or were more often used for sacrifice.Three guesses where haoles fall into this sytem - and you REALLY don't want to be in that last category.

To continue:Here's the link I forgot to include on above discussion on Hawaiian castes:http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/ancient-hawaii/caste-system.htmlAlso, the pre-contact Hawaiians didn't believe land ownership, just the top guy managing resources per kapu (taboo). Today, this system is viewed as having been an excellent environmental tool.You think this is what the Native Hawaiin Government plans to return to? With the price of real estate in Hawaii being what it is?
