June 10, 201115 yr Dear President Obama, I am writing today with a somewhat unusual request. First and foremost, I will be asking that you return America to its August 20th,1959 borders so that Hawaii is no longer a state and you are no longer a citizen. Sincerely, Benjamin Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel

June 10, 201115 yr I didn't realize we took Hawaii by force and that they don't want to be part of the US? BN can do better than that as an analogy.

June 10, 201115 yr Come on, VOR, it's a joke. I realize that. I didn't take it seriously at all. It just isn't a very good joke IMO.
June 10, 201115 yr The US did take Hawaii from their rulers. It was the sugar owners (Dole) who undermined the Hawaiian Queen. Imperialism.
June 10, 201115 yr Oh, I like this game. Dear Prime Minister Berlusconi, Today I humbly request that you return to 1861 borders and give me my land back. It's tough to have much fun on only 110 acres. It was mine from the sixth century and was really nice until you threw a democratic hissy-fit. You can leave the keys with Swiss Guards on your way out.

June 10, 201115 yr Oh, that was supposed to be funny?Oh, I forgot, it wasn't about Bush... Seriously guys, good thing it's the weekend coming up, being wound so tight can be bad for your health.
June 10, 201115 yr Oh, I forgot, it wasn't about Bush... Seriously guys, good thing it's the weekend coming up, being wound so tight can be bad for your health. I didn't think it was funny ... seriously, the citizenship jokes are pretty stale at this point. I never got personal about Bush, either ... I didn't call him stupid or criticize his gaffes. I simply think he made some really bad policy decisions.

Yeah, it was after repeated assaults by Hawaiians sworn to the annihilation of the United States. They kept lobbing artillery shells into California off the tops of Mauna Loa and Kilauea, back when Hawaii was located right off the west coast. Eventually, enough was enough so the US stormed the islands and in six days put an end to the aggressions. Then we hitched massive chains to each of the islands and towed them out to the middle of the Pacific where they could continue their hateful rhetoric about exterminating Americans, but could not use their limited weaponry to bomb and kill more Californians. We left San Clemente, Santa Catalina and several of the other Channel Islands, since their residents had not participated in the assaults, and they clearly learned their lesson after seeing what we did with those pesky Hawaiians. I wasn’t around when all that happened, but thankfully I have a close connection with Georgia Representative Hank Johnson, who gave me the inside scoop on how all this went down, and now has me concerned about Guam rowing toward California and picking up where Hawaii left off... http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20001611-38.html I love history... especially the kind you can revise to make more interesting. :thumb:
