Aloha Daze

I went to a local produce market the other day, here in Honolulu, Hawaii. The open market is located on the Kapiolani Community College parking lot.

On the walk from my car to the market, I saw a person handing out some newspapers. I didn’t get a photo of her, or her publications, but they had the usual Bush Derangement Syndrome pictures and text.

I asked her what this was all about. She said that we needed to close Guantanamo Bay, and prevent the United States from attempting to conquer other countries, etc. etc. etc.

If she’d given me one of her newspapers, I’d have happily taken it and displayed it here, for easy ridicule. But she asked me if I’d like a paper; it only cost a dollar.

Um, no. I’ll not be financing a group that wants to place a failed government system here in the United States.

I did ask if she had a website. And she said yes. Revcom.us.

It doesn’t take any measure of investigative journalism to see that the website she was supporting on the sidewalk is the “Voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.”

Now, it doesn’t come as a surprise to me that a communist party has found a home on the parking lot of a college. Especially here in the liberal state of Hawaii. I just irritates me to find someone that actually believes the crap being spewed from some cheesball group that thinks that communist/socialism is the best solution. The truth of the matter is that communism hasn’t worked, doesn’t work, and will never work. It’s a failed government system. (Failed for the people that it supposedly supports. Not for the ones in charge of the government, of course.)

If I see her again when I visit the market, I’ll try and take her picture. After all, she’s in a public location. She must be so proud of the bullcrap she’s pushing. After all, it’s the freedom of living in the United States that has afforded her the ability to be clueless about living here.

Update Yes, that picture now appears in this posting. I wrote this article when my site was down, and have since taken that photo. Note just how many people are interested in the things she’s selling. Yep. They’re standing in line, alright.
