Pat Kean

Pat Kean writes a ton of letters to the Maui News that always denigrate Kanaka Maoli, The Hawaiian Kingdom, and community activists. But who is Pat Kean? What gives him (or her -It's Pat!) the gall to speak to any Hawaiian issues? Is Pat a Kanaka?

Judging from Pat's blog, I would have to say no, so I don't understand why Pat would involve him/herself with the issues of the Kanaka. In fact, Pat isn't concerned with the issues of the Kanaka, but wants to "Find leaders in the Churches on Maui, that will motivate their members to vote, and find additional leaders to run for office...If we can get 80% of church members to vote, we can change the way Politics are run in Hawaii. "

Pat wants to change Maui politics to reflect his/her idea of what America should be. Christian. Conservative. Pat puts down anyone who works toward Hawaiian Sovereignty. Is that the Christian part, or the conservative part speaking Pat? The history of Christian Missionaries in Hawaii is dubious at best, so for Pat to want to turn Hawaii into a "Christian/Conservative" state is just a continuation of the missionary children's goal to wipe out the Kanaka.

Pat's blog is sponsored, or at least features ads for the Heritage Foundation and the CATO Institute. The Heritage Foundation is a policy group trying to continue Reagan's failed doctrine, while the CATO Institute is basically a Libertarian group. On one of the pages featured on Pat's blog, they plan on disrupting Neil Abercrombie's health care town hall meeting and a few of the comments on the page ask where they can go to disrupt Mazie Hirono's town hall meetings.

Pat Kean is no friend of Hawaii, and judging from his/her blog, is no friend of democracy either.
