Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Under a bill being quietly moved forward by Hawaiian Senator Daniel Akaka, American government owned (that’s us) land will be turned over to native Hawaiians in a blatant wealth redistribution based on race. Illegal and unconstitutional you say? Welcome to the new compact between Americans and our government. This scam will merge about 400,000 ethnic Hawaiians from all corners of the country and declare them a sovereign nation- state meaning theses new “Hawaiian nation” citizens will be exempt from American government control, taxes and police powers.

Supporters of this outrage contend this treatment for native Hawaiians would be no different than that already accorded Native American (aka Indian) tribes. But this comparison doesn’t hold water. Indian tribes are clearly identifiable groups living close to each other not people living across the country.

What’s next special treatment for Mexicans in the Southwest or Eskimos in Alaska? Moreover the most glaring feature of Hawaii’s entry into the United States is being completely over looked. Hawaii was a sovereign nation.

In the late 19th century the Hawaii Islands were a separate and sovereign nation. Fearing the growing intentions of modernizing Japan, Hawaii’s king asked America to annex his country and provide for the safety of his people from the eventual attack he correctly foresaw from Japan. There is therefore no real comparison between the Hawaiians who willingly joined the United States and the Indians who were forced to do so.

The act would transfer almost 40% of the Hawaiian Islands to this new “nation” of just 400,000 people. Who is/is not a Hawaiian will be decided by a nine member commission which will likely be staffed by individuals who will bring a liberal agenda to the table.

Hawaii will lose as much as $689 million bringing crushing consequences to an already shaky state government.

Another “We know what’s best for you” bill

The tipoff that this is a huge special interest bill can be found in a recent Zogby poll’s results that tell us 76% of Hawaiians are against it.

Hawaii is projected to lose about 20,000 private sector jobs and $200 million in private investment under this monster. The kicker is that non-Native taxpayers will see their taxes rise by between $700 and 1,400 a year.

What have you done to defend American freedoms today?
