Gov. Neil Abercrombie will host the annual Memorial Day ceremony as he tries to delude Hawaii veters.
Can anyone recall his past? Year’s ago, his “Rememberance of Veterans was to protest".
Today, he spouts his congressional record of development.
So which Neil are you believing?
Yes, I recall that hair faced marxist hippie, and his Manoa comrades, spewed hatred in demonstrations aimed at our Viet Nam vets. He was worse than Jane Fonda in my blue eyes. His wife, comrade Carroway, and he are, or were members of DSA, democrat socialists of Amerika. His votes in congress as one of 8, from my dimming memory, giving a pass to hezbollah, and hamas speaks for it self.
The fact that this tool has been rewarded with twenty years in congress, and governor of this state is a testament as to how , (insert adjective) the people of Hawaii are.
Yes shaft, you spelled it right, but I don't believe you know what the hell it means.
