Gubernatorial Debates? Abercrombie says “It’s not my job”
By Andrew Walden @ 2:33 PM :: 10757 Views :: Hawaii County , Akaka Bill, Energy, Environment
|
The Star-Advertiser’s editors endorsed the call for debates, writing:
We like that Aiona has already challenged Abercrombie to six debates, which will serve to enlighten. He's taken the offensive to call for specifics on balancing the budget, growing the economy and jobs, and revamping education. For his part, Aiona vows a "clear path" on how the GOP will lead the state. We can hardly wait -- frustrations linger over Furlough Fridays and legislative stalemates -- and will be listening intently.

Senate’s only Republican Akaka Bill backer to be stripped of seniority, positions
By Andrew Walden @ 4:20 PM :: 9023 Views :: Akaka Bill, Republican Party
|
Murkowski is the only Republican US Senator currently backing the Akaka Bill. Her support has been seen as necessary to gather the votes to overcome any filibuster by Republican senators. With Murkowski effectively declared persona non grata by the Republican caucus, her ability to do political deals for votes on any cloture resolution is effectively nullified.

Neil Abercrombie 2009: A year of corruption
By Andrew Walden @ 12:10 AM :: 21197 Views :: National News, Ethics, Politicians
|
1) Pay-for-play politics with military contractors and other contributors
2) Efforts to organize dependency groups controlled by political cronies and put them in control of "land and assets" (Akaka Bill)
3) Efforts to undermine the traditional family and marriage, and efforts to extend "hate crimes' protection to pedophiles
4) Consistent support for socialized medicine, Carbon Tax and other tax increases.
5) Consistent opposition to Israel and advocacy on behalf of the foreign policy interests of Islamist terrorist groups.

Property tax hike forces eviction of Kalihi non-profits
By Andrew Walden @ 7:38 PM :: 10311 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment
|
With the Hannemann-Caldwell administration choosing to assess higher commercial property tax rates on mixed-use buildings previously assessed at residential rates, Kalihi landlords are being forced to dump commercial tenants.
The result will be shuttered storefronts in some of Honolulu's most densely populated neighborhoods and massive rent hikes for low income residents.

Jerry Burris: “Abercrombie is one of just a handful of members of Congress who do not declare a religious affiliation”

With Hawaii media in full lie mode spreading the ridiculous and unfounded assertion that Abercrombie is an Episcopalian, we thought we’d treat our readers to a short trip down memory lane. The date: March 12, 2008. The publication: something called the Honolulu Advertiser. Here is what Jerry Burris wrote...

Hawaii Democratic Convention renews call for closed primary
By Andrew Walden @ 8:01 PM :: 10805 Views :: Democratic Party, Office of Elections
|
Hawaii Democratic convention delegates meeting at the Hilton Hawaiian Village May 29 approved a resolution calling for closed Democratic primaries.
Hawaii State law now mandates that political parties’ primaries be open to any voter who wishes to participate. But many Progressive Democrats feel that their ideological soul mates are having a tough time winning Democratic Primary races due to voting by non-Democrats.
Any move away from Hawaii’s current open primary system would require party line registration, causing tens of thousands of new voters to become enrolled members of both Democratic and Republican parties.

Star-Advertiser & Abercrombie sing duet on Religion: Only we the elite may draw lines between right and wrong
By Andrew Walden @ 4:25 PM :: 9502 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
When it comes to arrogance and hypocrisy, the gay-atheist eco-religionists of the Star-Advertiser rarely outdo themselves. Today is one of those rare occasions.
In an article titled, The clashing of church, state: Religion-based tactics fire up Hawaii's election season -- causing concern for some but fueling moral claims by others, the Star-Advertiser speaks as if its pretence of secularism was not just another religion. To make their case, they trot out all the tired old secular humanist voices of Honolulu’s left (aka Neil Abercrombie’s base). Their core argument: Our religion must rule over yours.

Hanabusa: What we see...

|
Colleen Hanabusa today unveiled her fall campaign slogan with the release of her first campaign commercial: “What you see is what you get.”
In the commercial, we didn’t “see” her husband John Souza, the former State Sheriff, trucking company magnate, and land baron now known as “Mr Invisible”, but that doesn’t mean we don’t “get” it.
She didn’t mention Ko Olina or the Pali Golf Course but we do “get” it.

Will Obamacare kill HHSC?
By Andrew Walden @ 12:30 AM :: 11512 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Local officials also predict an expensive future as new requirements—for technology, quality accounting and care coordination—start under the overhaul, which became law in March.
Moody's Investors Service said in April that many standalone hospitals won't have the resources to invest in information technology or manage bundled payments well. Many nonprofits have bad credit ratings and in a tight credit market cannot borrow money, either. Meantime, the federal government is expected to cut aid to hospitals….

Neil Abercrombie has for years, maybe decades, been included among a small group of Congressmen who describe their religion as “unaffiliated” or “unspecified.” But within the last seven days, Hawaii media outlets have suddenly begun describing Abercrombie as “Episcopalian.”

VIDEO: Arrogant Olbermann calls Hawaii GOP Chair “Ka-u-away” anti-Semite
By Andrew Walden @ 11:41 AM :: 12003 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Hawaii’s usually voluble homegrown secular humanists are stone silent because they agree with Ka’auwai. For the same reason, Hawaii’s pro-Abercrombie media have greatly tempered their response. In a recent Star-Advertiser poll, Republican crossover voters were shown to be backing Mufi Hannemann 72% to 28% against Neil Abercrombie.
But the national groups aren’t thinking about short-term local political calculations....

Just in time for September 11th, the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources, has announced a six-figure grant to the 9-11 truthers of the Malu Aina Peace Center.
Jim Albertini is a convicted felon and federal ex-convict once tagged as a "psychopath" by Judge Samuel Wilder King. Along with his comrades from Malu-Aina, Albertini can be seen every Friday afternoon in front of Hilo’s Federal Building with an “Impeach Obama” sign....

Congress.org rejects Abercrombie’s “front group” claim

In his response, Abercrombie said that his opponent "spins facts."
"Congress.org is a Republican front organization that rates me in the same category as Sen. Daniel Inouye," he said, referring to Hawaii's longtime senator.
For the record, Congress.org is not —and has never been — a "Republican front organization." We are a news and information site run by the CQ-Roll Call Group, which also publishes CQ Today and Roll Call. Like those publications, we strive to be neutral and objective.

University of Hawaii Study: Native Hawaiians Fear Violence
By Andrew Walden @ 10:43 AM :: 15831 Views :: Hawaii County , Akaka Bill, DHHL, Hawaii Statistics, OHA
|
Results in a pilot study "Native Hawaiian Perceptions of Violence as a Means to Attain Sovereignty" show a sharp contrast between the number of Native Hawaiians interviewed who believe violence is justifiable to achieve sovereignty -- 6 percent -- and the number who believe "the desire to gain sovereignty will result in violence in the future -- 53 percent. Only 24.8 percent felt that violence would definitely not occur.

Will wandering Republicans be Mufi’s hope or Hawaii’s salvation?
By Andrew Walden @ 1:29 AM :: 10735 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
Usually discussions of Hawaii’s one-party system focus on an alleged “plantation mentality” and Democrat “machine voters.” A caricature of the machine voter has them giving up their vote on instructions from nefarious union bosses in exchange for a plate of chili and rice. But a recent poll points in a surprisingly different direction—wandering Republicans. The Star-Advertiser-HNN poll released August 22 shows that Republican crossover voters back Mufi Hannemann 72-28% – making the Republican voting bloc absolutely indispensible to Hannemann’s Primary election chances.

In an odd sequence of events, Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Adrienne King last week first claimed and then retracted her claim to have won the endorsements of both the Kona and Maui TEA Party groups. Rep. Pat Saiki, Honolulu’s Republican Congresswoman from 1986 to 1990, also rejects King’s continuing use of Saiki’s name as an endorser.

RTTT “farce”? HSTA, progressives already scheming to fudge accountability requirements
By Andrew Walden @ 1:33 PM :: 14731 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics

Hawaii politicos have spent a lifetime snagging federal dollars and then doing what they please, so it is illogical and unreasonable to assume that RTTT will be any different.
The HSTA’s worthless signature was a key to the DoE’s RTTT application being ranked third in the nation, how will they undo it?

Great news: Rep. Lyla Berg still taking grief for “Islam Day”
By Andrew Walden @ 1:01 PM :: 16307 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics, World News, Family
|
It took 15 months, but the Advertiser has finally slipped up and mentioned the possibility that the scheduling of Hawaii Islam Day had something to do with celebrating Islam on September 11. Even better, Volcanic Ash columnist David Shapiro August 11 ruefully admits:
“state Rep. Lyla Berg is still taking grief in her campaign for lieutenant governor for a resolution she sponsored declaring last September 24 as Islam Day.”
If confirmed by the results of the September 18 Democratic Primary, this will be good news. It is also a teachable moment.

Flip-Flop-Flip: Hannemann again refuses to take position on Gay Civil Unions
By Andrew Walden @ 1:30 PM :: 7484 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
After months of tortured evasions, Mufi Hannemann July 16 finally came out of the closet and announced that if he were Governor, he "guesses" he would "probably" have vetoed HB444 gay civil unions.
For just a moment, it appeared as if Hannemann had sort of taken a position--after refusals dating back to September, 2009. But in yesterday’s Democrat Gubernatorial debate, Hannemann again reverted to his old waffly ways refusing to take any firm stance for or against HB444.

Mainland gay activists are doing everything they can to make sure that Hawaii remains under the thumb of child-molester advocate Rep Joe Bertram (D-Kihei) and HB444 sponsor Rep Blake Oshiro (D-Aiea). The multi-million dollar Washington, DC-based Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund names Oshiro as one of its “featured candidates” pumping mainland gay money into Oshiro’s campaign as he faces off against a strong Democrat Primary challenge from Honolulu Councilmember Gary Okino, a firm opponent of HB444.

In 2009 the US House Energy and Commerce Committee nailed Sandwich Isles as one of the nation’s “10 worst abusers” of Universal Service Fund (USF) tax dollars—which every telephone customer pays with their monthly phone bill.
SIC’s cables run to Hawaiian Homelands properties-most of which are unoccupied and are not going to be occupied anytime soon. The cost per actual user of broadband services is estimated at $278,000 per customer.

AtomicMonkey Reincarnated, picks up Abercrombie DSA story: Abercrombie supporters--“Its just going to get nastier”
By Andrew Walden @ 2:04 PM :: 9321 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment

Bob Jones: Absent evidence otherwise, we have to take his word. It’s just hard for us skeptically-inclined old-timers in journalism to accept that a man with a City job and a history of doing “opposition research” didn’t even ask some high Hannemann campaign official if it was okay to portray Abercrombie as a brain in a glass jar controlled by former Gov. Ben Cayetano, as a “flailing gasbag” and his wife, the scholar Nancie Caraway, as “a witch.”
…And it’s just going to get nastier at least until the primary, perhaps beyond.

Amended Akaka Bill: A Trojan horse for Tribal immunity?
By Andrew Walden @ 12:53 PM :: 12983 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Last December, Neil Abercrombie passed a previous immunity-free version of the Akaka Bill as a Trojan Horse to get through the House Committee on Natural Resources. He then amended the bill by substitution on the House floor. Would Akaka pass a no-immunity version through the Senate and then use the House-Senate Conference Committee to change it back? Of course he would—everything about the underhanded and secretive way the new version of Akaka Bill was created shows that is possible.
