“July 4th is a painful reminder of the aloha aina warriors who are no longer with us, and a disgrace to our ancestors and the descendants of Hawaiian nationals who fought to resist american occupation,” John Garcia, minister of foreign affairs and second vice president for the independently formed government Nation of Hawaii, told SFGATE in an email.
Heck of an article for the Fourth of July

And still an overwhelming percentage of Native Hawaiian’s voted for Statehood, so there’s that.

Sure, NOW they want independence. When it was be a state, or be gobbled up by Japan, or China or whoever... they chose being a state.
The Hawaiians are entirely too butthurt, just like liberals all over the use. To hell with them.

I agree. Hawaii never should have been a state, they should be independent.

Big power geopolitics did not change with the advent of western democracies. No doubt if not ever made part of the United States Hawaii could easily have been made a colony of any great Asian power at any time. Hawii has the unfortunate circumstance of being rather small and could never be “idendent” for long once the world became more interconnected.

” Later, July 4, 1960, was chosen as the day the 50th star was added to the U.S. flag.”
Don’t know how long it’s been the law, but stars are only added to the flag on July 4. That’s why we had one year with a 49-star flag—Hawaii got statehood after July 4, 1959.
Does the Bishop Museum still display the pottery decorated with human teeth as ‘a painful reminder of the aloha aina warriors who are no longer with us’?

I’m good with 49 States. That means fewer wackos in the Congress and Senate.

So why don’t you just go back to being a useless Pacific island chain that never amounted to anything worthwhile? Bye bye!

I have no personal experience with Hawaii but from what I have read and heard, its very expensive, with distrustful people who don't like westerners and I would wish them their damn independence and stop takin our tax money....
close their borders....
and goodbye to tourism....
