Tea Party in Hawaii

[james weatherford]

Honestly, Lack, TEA is "some" of The People, and those people have an absolute right to say and vote as they please -- no more nor less than the many others who are not in their minority group.
"We", as in the Constitution, is every single one of us -- TEA party is not.

The political situation in Hawaii is too strongly Democratic for the Teabaggers to have any effect. It's interesting to hear their idea, though.

Here are the endorsements by our local Kona Taxed Enough Already group:

Take the time to read this website. There are more people (Republican AND Democrat) involved in this than you would think in Hawaii. One belief of the TEA party is for limited government (i.e., LESS government control). I would think people in Hawaii would be in favor of less gov't intrusion on our lives.

Governor – State of Hawaii : James ‘ Duke ‘ Aiona

Hawaii -U.S. House – 2nd Congressional District : John Willoughby

Anyone who doesn't believe what I say above, just go and read the above referenced Tea Party blog from Kona. Disgusting racist filth. The Tea Party people preach the Constitution but somehow forget religious freedom. They don't even seem to like people with beards. WTF? THE ISLAM RELIGION DID NOT ATTACK US ON 9/11. Small minded, stupid sheep.

Exactly where did anyone find 'disgusting racist filth', please point me to it. PaulW: What do you find a 'disgrace'. Is it the Constitution of the United States?

I thought the Tea Party was mostly about taxation and responsible government expenditure, not about targeting a particular religion. Doesn't the Constitution have something to say about that - freedom of religion? Separation of church and state?

And calling Abercrombie a Marxist??

Does this person even represent the Tea Party?

ETA - I see they're also questioning Obama's birth certificate. How do they expect to be taken seriously?

Is there a real Hawaii Tea Party website?

http://konateaparty.wordpress.com/about/ tea party mission statement

I found that I could agree with the mission statement of the Kona Tea Party if that was all I read. The photograph at the top that says:

"Now it's personal... America's coming for you, Congress. Vote all liberals out in 2010!
- We the people"

In my head, I heard "death to the infidels". Maybe a little dramatic but I have never been accused of being vapid. Okay once but he used the wrong verbiage.

This does not work for this American. So step back because I am getting ready to rant: My father, a marine who served in the Korean War, my 9 uncles who served in World War II, and my cousins who were in Vietnam, and my hanai son, and my little cousin are in the Middle East now, fought to protect our freedoms. ALL our freedoms, not just the ones they agreed with. My father did not say "oh you are from Hawaii and I dont like your local ways so I am not fighting for you, or you in Kentucky, or those pushy New Yorkers either, or those born again Baptists in the South."

I personally believe that we need to have two sides (parties/beliefs) or even three or four sides to keep this government from becoming a oligarchy. I also strongly believe in the separation of church and state. Behind too many of the candidates is their church, and you all know it - it was obvious with Mufi, and some of our local candidates. I am glad the candidates have somewhere to go for their spiritual guidance - we all need it - but I for one do not necessary believe that I as an American should be coerced into a government - local, state or federal - where religious beliefs (and maybe someone else's religion) is behind every law. Here is an example - Jehovah's Witness's do not believe in holidays or birthday celebrations. How would we like it if King Kamehameha Day celebrations disappeared if Jehovah Witnesses' candidate won?

Okay rant over.
