A month of solemn endorsement and celebration of, well, certain kinds of sexual practices, at our state capital…..

And now for desert, here is Democrat Danny De Gracia from Civil Beat (an ordained minister he says) saying a bunch nice things about anyone who isn’t a Hawaii Democrat:

“Republicans in Hawaii have become a weird alliance where the most engaged (or perhaps, most vocal and visible) are small business owners/affluent Realtors; mainland transplants with animus toward the local way of doing things; Christians who believe God calls us to impose Old Testament-style laws on U.S. citizens; and people that I can only describe as a modern form of new age counterculture.”

P.S. Yes, “certain kinds of sexual practices, at our state capital…..” is NOT intended as a word pun.  I think it must happened up there, at least a few times.  I mean, they sure try to do it to US every chance they get.

I want a 2A Pride flag displayed at the capitol

They already have a bag o' dix, so ....

 

LGBTQ history in Hawaii

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_history_in_Hawaii

Yes, in 1998 Hawaii voted 70.78% AGAINST same sex marriage, but the amendment had its poison pill: It gave power over the issue to the legislature - diabolical, but that’s The Party ^TM.

… and then they rammed it down the citizens throats anyway, Abercrombie doing the signing honors.

This why I say, the people here are NOT the The Party ^TM, but they won’t fight to claim their full rights as citizens, and so they continue as subjects.

Believe me, it gives me great sorrow to say this.

Gonna preach to the choir (Danny De Garcia) in 3...2...1..

First of all f@#% your cost prohibitive rents, permitting requirements, and pointless individual licenses you instill on all of us and our employees just to make a dollar in your sate, which you will tax us for anyway! Also how about addressing these homeless degenerates who literally $%!+ in front of our buildings and make the area around our businesses unwelcoming to potential customers. Many of them are the same customers you and the airlines pander so hard to get to fly over here, do you want their tourist dollars at the end of the day or not?

mainland transplants? I'd like to meet these so called "right-wing" transplants you speak of. The only mainland transplants I've seen on my island are all young college-educated liberal pieces-of-$%!+ with money, many of them are renting out or buying out what little housing inventory we already have here! These newbies are gonna vote "D" anyway because the media and their armchair marxist "pals" online told them the Orange man and anyone who supports him are baaaaad!

"Old Testament-style laws on U.S. citizens", give me a f@#%!ng break! How about some of us just want a return to sanity, and sanity means no reverse-racism to end racism, no homosexuals doing inappropriate things in public without accountability, and especially re-institute law and order for our fellow criminals!

If I'm a counter-culturalist then I must be doing something right because your new progressive trash you call a culture is bull$%!+ and it needed to go a long time ago! Tell your legislative pinheads at the capitol to take down your f@9 flags and read the f@#%!ng room!

We are aligning for a reason. The problem isn't us, the problem is you!

Thank you brother - couldn’t be said better.

i always wondered why the ride from the airport to Waikiki is arguably the most unattractive route on Oahu.

For the amount of tax dollars the state spent on DBEDT and HTA over the years, that bit of Nimitz-to-Ala Moana could be at least as nice as the roads in Waikiki.

i guess if the money spent marketing Hawaii works, then no need to make reality match the hype?

We are just like LA.  Don't bother to deal with the real problems of homeless living on the sidewalks and in parks, used needles and condoms wherever you go, and so on.  Sell the fantasy, and people will buy it -- literally.

I was just talking about this to my friend in Vegas. Kapiolani has forever contruction, but it seems to end after Ala Moana Shopping center.  1 area is done, then work on another, then back to the original area.

Then we discussed dillingham for 5 years it's been under construction.

Seems like there are more important things for our "leader" to do besides this pride thing.

I'm so pissed that Green got elected our governor.

But truthfully, look at what we had to choose from.  An MMA fighter that had no clue on the issues and is now suffering from mental illness.  And Duke looked like he was there just for the paycheck.

So dumb hypocrites. They are calling Republicans 'transplants'? #immadoctor Green is from the mainland! They had their chance to vote for a local gov but didnt because he was an R. Dems have no limits on hate

I'd still pick BJ over Green.

With BJ's paranoia of his mom and brother not being who they are, he post photos of them before and currently.  Why doesn't he instead just ask both questions that only they would know?  That would be 1 way to show if he's legit or nuts. Whether he believes it or not is another story.

I often wonder how many HI Democrats/Communists are transplants from states like California? 

Seems like most of the Super Ferry protestors needed a lot more tan to ever be mistaken for locals.
