Over at FrontPageMag, Andrew Walden reveals why Hawaii got nuked – or more precisely, wasn’t threatened at all – earlier this week:
A Tokyo-based newspaper reports in its Friday AM edition that North Korea’s failed Taepodong-2 missile was aimed at an area of the ocean close to Hawaii. (Here’s the story in Japanese.) The target should have been no surprise: the islands’ far-Left leadership has rendered Hawaii uniquely vulnerable to attack. …
In Hawaii, the two fronts of the War on America meet. In 2004, Hawaiian Democrats pledged one-third of their delegates to support Dennis Kucinich for president. Hawaii was the only state to give Kucinich significant support. Kucinich and many other leftist Democrats have opposed the development of missile defense technologies capable of knocking down incoming missiles. The University of Hawaii-Manoa was recently the scene of anti-American protests against military research on campus. [Emphasis mine.]
There you have it: if not for the Kucinich death-grip on Hawaiian politics (and don’t forget gay-marriage!), the land of leis would already have the same working missile defense system as Nebraska.
