Southern Discomfort
Basic info on the Senate bill
I heard a bit about this bill a few days ago. I want to learn more about it.
From what I understand thus far, this bill would pick up where a Senate Apology left off. The Apology is on Congressional record, and therein the United States government formally and officially recognizes the fact that they illegally and without warrant or justification invaded the Kingdom of Hawaii, overthrew an established functioning government, and assumed control of the territory. This bill provides for the reassumption of power by native Hawaiians. A native Hawaiian is defined as anyone with one drop of verifiable Hawaiian blood in their body. A period of time would be established wherein natives may document their status and then be granted the right to vote on this issue.
What issue is that, you ask?
Secession from the United States. Based on the illegal and improper method of acquuisition of the territory in question.
See where I'm headed with all this yet?
The bill, again as I understand it at this point, also provides for a number of what equates to "tribes" of Americans who may or may not fall under similar circumstances. They may be previously recognized groups, forinstance, Cherokee Indians, or they may be previously unrecognized groups.
Now, many people (myself emphatically included) maintain that the War of Northern Aggression was an illegal overthrow of an established government...one with the power to collect tax revenue, to enact and enforce laws, to engage in commerce, to establish and support a military...every identifiable function of any other government. Should this legislation pass, and if my interpretation of it is correct I obviously hope and pray that it does, I forsee something that's 140 years overdue...the reinstatement of the Confederate States of America.
How many people have a verifiable drop of Southern blood in their veins? Of those, how many woulf leap at the chance to get out from under Washington's skyrocketing debt and start afresh?
I know one who will be on the phone the instant that gavel falls.
I think it bears discussion on any number of fronts. Again, I have not fully researched this piece of proposed legislation, not nearly to the level I usually do when postulating about all things Southern. Just curious if anyone else had heard anything about it.
Deo vindice. Maybe right soon.
