Let &#8217;em go. Ciao, baby.<\/p>\n<p>They threaten that they&#8217;re going to leave us, well, who needs &#8217;em? They don&#8217;t have anything we need &#8211; even their rum is pedestrian. It costs us more to administrate that tiny island than it&#8217;s worth. I guess we got it for beating the Spanish in Cuba &#8211; OK, well we don&#8217;t need a coaling station for our ships anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll betcha there&#8217;s twenty or thirty islands in the Caribbean that would gladly trade places with those ungrateful little turds.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m reminded of yesterday&#8217;s discussion because apparently there&#8217;s a separatist movement afoot in Hawaii according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2008\/01\/31\/the-state-of-hawaii-moves-to-censor-a-cartoon\/\">Michelle Malkin<\/a> &#8211; let &#8217;em go. We don&#8217;t need them either. I&#8217;m sure Hawaii is a great place &#8211; but there&#8217;s hundreds, no thousands, of great places.<\/p>\n<p>If Hawaiians want to censor satirists, as Michele describes in her post, they don&#8217;t really want to be Americans anyway. We can buy pineapples from anyone &#8211; and probably cheaper, too. The Panamanians sell a better volcano-grown coffee, too.<br \/>\nSo, adios, or the &#8220;aloha&#8221; that means &#8220;goodbye&#8221; (I&#8217;ve heard aloha means hello and goodbye, so I wanted to be specific). No one state or territory is so essential to this country that we can&#8217;t do without it. So immediately shut down all US government taxpayer funded activities in those two places and cut &#8217;em loose.<\/p>\n<p>When those out-rigger canoes start landing on California beaches we&#8217;ll consider Hawaiians a problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just yesterday, I was on someone&#8217;s blog (forgive me for not remembering which because I read &hellip; <a title=\"Separatist movements; adios muchachos y hasta la nunca\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=1157\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Separatist movements; adios muchachos y hasta la nunca<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
