How they could respond to this so quickly, and still can't tell us where our VAT money gone yet. WOW!

Bingo!!!

I "love" this part:

“persistent and unpatriotic attempt by the failed project developer to mislead Bahamians, detract from **the tremendous accomplishments made by** the stakeholders along with **government** in turning the project around, and to conceal the fact that BMD failed and then failed to recover from failure.”

Sounds like something written by Saddam Hussein's faithful minister of information/propaganda, Mohammad Said Sahhaf a.k.a. Comical Ali a.k.a. Bradley Roberts.

Lol lol lol!

Note "unpatriotic" ...he should start packing.

The plp has been out of their minds for decades and the sad fact is that hopeless people who have relied upon their profit because of alliegence to a despotic control will still never show that they are WRONG WRONG Wrong just for a bottle of rum, a T-stirt and a small monetary handout. Our government does not want our Grass Roots to become more intelligent or to think for themselves. It would only hurt the government by suggesting that people think for themselves with pointed acuity and reasoned thought.

All kinda shit coming outta Perry Christie, Bradley Roberts, and da rest a dem PLP's mout!!
Jus hurry up an call election so we could vote y'all stinkin ass out!!
Y'all is a colossal disgrace!!! Pure, unadulterated failure!!!

The government has been misleading the public for nearly 5 years! Actually, they've been lying to us.

It would be instructive to find out WHO penned the word "unpatriotic".
History would show that there are few greater dangers to a populace.
I cannot imagine a more dangerous person than someone who believes that patriotism is in going along with an utterly corrupt, ignorant and greedy administration.
Bahamians better educate themselves as to the history of "patriotism".
Soon, comments such as mine will be deemed unpatriotic, and next they will censor the papers.
Paying attention to our Office of Foreign Affairs?
You should be..

""*Unpatriotic*"? Who writes this stuff for them? During the Cuban abuse scandal they identified "*traitors*" among us, we had Save the Bays guilty of "*subversion*", "*trying to overthrow the government*". It's like a very scary return to pre-holocaust Germany.

We as Bahamians need to be more patriotic and appreciative our new Chinese investors and appreciative the PLP that has saved Baha Mar from ruin.

Please stop criticizing the PLP.

愛國 is literally "love for one's country", like how children (should) love their mother. In fact, China is referred to as 祖國 (mother country, aka motherland) by Chinese all over the world. You can choose friends, but you cannot choose family. To accept one's cultural identity is to have an unconditional love for your family, especially your mother. Even if you think she is imperfect and not worthy of admiration, she is at least worthy of respect and adoration, especially in public.

***You can choose friends, but you cannot choose family. To accept one's cultural identity is to have an unconditional love for your family, especially your mother.***

If I love my country, I want the best for my country. If the matriarch of the Bahamian family is not doing her job adequately, I can change who governs the country.

This is not China. This is the Bahamas. We have a democratic society here. So, in fact, I **can** choose my family. I **can** choose the head of the Bahamian household. It is called a vote. And I can use it every 5 years if "mother" is not pulling her weight.

I understand what you're saying, however, what is lacking is a vibrant discussion about the fate of this country. From what I can see The Bahamas is running out of time quickly. There is no time to respect the vulgar performance of those who were elected "to serve". How did they get to think they are gods? I love The Bahamas but absolutely abhor this administration and it's ignorant supporters. Am I still patriotic?

Absolutely.

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. -- Edward Abbey

Being a patriot doesn't mean being a cheerleader for a corrupt government. There is a difference between loving the country and looking the other way while the corrupt government rapes it. One must speak out. If you don't, you are empowering those who are bent on raping it.

I thought this was a joke, but I see they're serious (side eyes), using Chinese letters too, lol. Must be the person who wrote the article, working in the PR department. As an aside, the PLP is not our mother.

Its pretty OFFENSIVE to be told we need to be "*patriotic*" and show love and "*ADORATION*" (**adoration**!) for the "**Motherland**" (in Chinese letters no less!). You don't have to explain these terms to us, they are well known and are **associated with the worst of communism**, no matter how the statement tries to shrowd it with terms like "love". Clearly this person spent too much time in China and has been successfully brainwashed. The next time they visit they should ask for a tour of the political prisoners.

Make no mistake, left to its own devices, the PLP would take us down the road of Robert Mugabe and Zimbabwe.

Can anyone answer why is it that the AG is always around when something big is signing eg. Baha Mar, and the the Cruise Line contract. Isn't she suppose to be partial and not leaning towards the governent?

The government and HR department are misleading and under serving the best interests of Bahamians. Check how many work permits have been issued for the new golf course. There should have been two issued, a GM and Director of Agronomy and both could have been limited for a number of years until a Bahamian was fully ready for these positions and yes the talent exists. Rather than two permits they have issued 5! Those are 3 positions Bahamians are not filling because they did not bother to speak with expats that have experience in the Bahamas, in the golf industry and with the best interests of Bahamians at heart!

The only tremendous that the PLP government achieved was a royal screw up of a great project that was in good and capable hands and to give it away - something that they did not own to a shady bunch of red crooks.

This article is a good example why no one in their right mind would come to this country and invest their money.

Just imagine there would be wealthy people outside the Bahamas reading this website to get themself informed about the Bahamas.

Man screw this country, an investment in North Korea would be more secure.

We can begin believing something out of Christies' mouth ***AFTER the resurrection***, and even then we'll have to ask Jesus himself if its' true!
