Come on guys, let's be fair to the "Old Geezer". While he might have been a poor leader, and presided over the worst government in Bahamian history, bar none, there is no evidence to suggest that he was corrupt and amassed millions of dollars in foreign bank accounts. There is no need to attack the man untruthfully, disparaging his character unnecessarily, while ourselves hiding behind fictitious names. Just let history judge him for who he was, and what he did.

If my memory serves correctly, Sir Lynden O. Pindling was the first Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Prior to Independence, the country was governed by a Premier.

This decision by Brave Davis to support Fred Mitchell as Party Chairman will come back to haunt him.

@My2cents At the end of the day, you and I are just two patriotic Bahamians, who really love our country, and do not want to see it overrun by illegal immigrants. That much I do understand. However, we part company when it comes to accepting that our Constitution has given certain rights to those born here to illegal immigrants. It appears to me, and I accept not to you, that Mr. Campbell has taken advantage of those rights, and is a legitimate Bahamian citizen, just like you and I. That is the end of the matter for me, with or without "Frankie blinders".

While I do sympathize with the plight of many Bahamians who are living on par with the "Shanty Town Haitians", this does not prevent me from recognizing injustice and mean-spiritedness against others. I believe that I can be both compassionate to my fellow-Bahamians who are struggling, and still uphold the Constitution of the Bahamas at the same time. While we cannot re-write history, like some of you wish to do, we can amend the Constitution to be more specific to who can become citizens after 1973.

Brave and Mitchell deserve each other. They are definitely the final "Nails in the Coffin" of the PLP. Maybe now is a good time for Glenys Hanna-Martin, Alfred Stewart, and others untainted by the PLP legacy to form a new political party that could prepare to become the new government in 2029. I'm just saying!

Thanks for pointing to my "ignorance and hypocrisy" without really pointing to it. The old adage that "People in glass houses should not throw stones" might be a good one for you to ponder. The truth is no amount of name-calling, or xenophobic ranting, even disguised in the fine cloth patriotism, could undo the results of the May 10th. Election. While you may hang your efforts to derail the results on any modicum of suspect evidence, it will never undo what the people did back in May. Every Bahamian knows what an true Affidavit of birth looks like because tens of thousands have use this very document, and this very process, to establish proof of their birth. This document only appears to be "fraudulent" to you, because of your desired outcome. You PLP's make it seem that when Frankie's mother arrived on these shores, she knew that her son was going to rise to the great halls of parliament one day, so she conspired with a "friend" to illegally register his birth. Give me a break!

For the record, no one understand the effects of illegal immigration on this country better than me. In my capacity as a former government official, I have seen first-hand how the illegal community, especially the Haitians, have impacted our economy, and our social infrastructure. I don't blame them, or hate them, for seeking a better way of life. I blame Us, Bahamians, for harboring them, using their cheap labor for decades, and then refusing to acknowledge to them the very rights that our own Constitution gives to them; and then attempting to blame them for our shortcomings.

I think the ignorance and hypocrisy hails loudly from your corner!

My personal belief, while not based upon any scientific polling, but pure guts and instinct, is that many of you are purely jealous of Frankie Campbell, and the fact that he could become not only a member of parliament, but also a Cabinet Minister in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, and you couldn't. It is that Bahamian "Crabs in the barrel" syndrome. For those who are not jealous, your ignorance is deafening. If you have a serious issue with Mr. Campbell's citizenship, then you need to complain about the Constitution, and work to secure amendments more to your liking. Oh, but I forgot, most of you have never even taken the time to read and digest the Constitution and how it pertains to citizenship.

If the PLP is really serious about changing its ways, all of the Old Guard need to retire before the convention is over. A Bye-election could be held in the 4 constituencies currently represented by them, allowing some untainted, fresh, faces to rise up. Only a thorough cleansing of the Party could bring about the change of which they speak.

It is downright disgusting, and makes me sick to my stomach to read the deep hatred, bitterness, and resentment that is harbored towards the Haitian community by my fellow-Bahamians. I can only conclude that all this stems from a lack of embarrassment, and maybe intimidation, by the hard work ethic and educational achievement of this otherwise down-trodden people. I think we should be lauding Mr. Campbell, especially since his achievement speaks volumes of what can be accomplished in this great country. His rise and success is a testament to the best Christian values of the Bahamian People. Hopefully, our young people will look to Mr. Campbell as a positive role model.

Thank you Dr. & Mrs. Minnis for leading by example. It would be fantastic if more Bahamians took a personal interest in a public school, investing in public education. These tablets may be the only one that many of these children would have ever seen at such early stages of their education.
