WHT’s a left-wing cheer squad
For almost a decade I’ve read WHT and commented on stories via letters to the editor as have many other people.
I (and others) lived through the Obama failure while the Hawaiian people praised him (while keying my car, flipping me the bird and other not so nice stuff because my my stickers) just because they thought he was from Hawaii.
I and many of my friends see WHT as an unashamed left-wing cheering squad. You do on occasion print letters that don’t make the lefties happy (usually mine don’t) but for the most part, you toe the left leaning line.
While I missed the “offensive” letter on March 5, I strongly believe you had every right to publish it and should not have to apologize to anyone. I don’t know how many comments implied that the letter was “racist” (a common term applied from the left when they don’t like something someone says) I lost count!
More than once I was called racist because I saw through the smoke and mirrors and I didn’t praise our half-black president. Likely, if you happen to publish this I will hear the “R” word again.
Regardless, Hawaii has some serious problems that are perpetuated by corrupt legislators that continue to be voted in by a misinformed culture that keeps living in a fantasy world that tells them “Democrats are their friends!”
They have brought on the problems in Hawaii via their vote, nobody else to blame. In the last couple of years, I have begun to agree with the sovereignty folks, release Hawaii from statehood, quit sending them hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, take away all the rights they have as American citizens. See what happens.

I want to befriend Rainbow the rescuer
Rainbow to the rescue. I was pleasantly surprised to read the story of the woman named Rainbow saving a boar. You sure are a fresh breath of news on the island lately. She didn’t care if it was a pig, cow or ugly duck. She risked her life for an animal.
It shows great character, and I sure would like to be her friend. God bless this woman, she brings color to life. P.S., I wanna hang out sometime, find me on FB, I love to hike, explore and I love animals. #womenofwisdom
