you gotta love this man, i am referring to bradley roberts. Few as he has such courage, boldness and audacity!!! He can comment intimately on FNM internal politics but Mrs Carron should be quiet. Come on man... you'll have got to join me in sharing this love; and not for hate, for amusement, otherwise, share pity. Look at this quote from Mr. Lover taken from his letter noted above:
"After all, Dr Minnis was elected as his party Leader in two separate conventions and won handsomely each time. The fact that the defeated side suffers from “count it again fever” brought on by their urge to prop up former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham, should be no excuse. If we are to take Mrs Carron at her own words in which she professes to have a right as a Bahamian to comment on the situation in the FNM , I remind her that the tone of her editorial are not advisory. They are dogmatic, dictatorial, insensitive and mean. She seems to take a delight in being biggity to borrow Bahamian vernacular."
Mr. Roberts continued...
"She demands by the very headline of the Editorial that the fnm must hold a convention within this month. Who gave her any such authority? It’s all in her mind and warped sense of entitlement in FNM politics."
Mrs Carrons' editorial is cited by, of all person, Mr. Roberts as "dogmatic, dictatorial, insensitive and mean. She seems to take a delight in being biggity to borrow Bahamian vernacular".
Come on man... this is sensationally stimulating to say the least. Anyway, before I rupture in this charismatic delight, let me say this one fact that is not implicit but is blatantly clear and obvious... it comes through in almost every line of Mr. Roberts' letter:
"the progressive liberal party (plp) would like very much for 'hubert a. minnis' to be the leader of the free national movement (fnm) going into the next general election. please, fnm supporters, do comply with this request. thank you, Bradley Roberts, PLP National Chairman."
I sooooo love this man... I cannot see why anyone else would not want to either. If only to pity him for his bold and audacious way... love him. He can be so stimulating... something like strong coffee, that is..., if you care for some. In any event... wake up fnms!!!
However, as I have noted, she is incapable of weighing, and consequently, appreciating the social impact of her flawed concept. She was born and grown up and has always lived in a sheltered existence. This along with other inherent factor makes Mrs. Maynard-Gibson incapable of foresight into what travesty is cause by this 'rush to trial' concept of swift justice.
Well done Everyone and continue the good works. I encourage you All... You All are doing a great job to awaken the consciousness of the Country to a crucial need.
In the days gone by, the PLP had it broadcast throughout Long Island that if the people of that Island votes for the 'black man'... then they will get 'black roads'; ...and if they voted for the 'white man'... they will end up with the 'white roads'. The voters of Long Island maintained their dignity; they voted for none. They voted with their heart and conscience told them.
People throughout this Country, and irrespective of their political affiliation (fnm, ubp, plp, dna or unaffiliated) are sick and tired of corruption in any form, and, at whatever level it appears. it stinks and corrodes at the dignity of our politics.
It is indeed unfortunate that the FNM continues to make the news in the news media negative columns; however, this latest turmoil did well to expose the rottenness that goes on even at the constituency branch levels when voting for branch officers.
I, for one, am appreciative that someone in that meeting decided to express that they have had had enough with the corruption. Too long many of us have endured and allowed this corrupt practice to go on thinking that it is alright to be a little tolerant. But now... enough is enough! You cannot leave it to selfish and ambitious persons to know when it is enough.
When we conduct our in-house election like this, we are showing the public, as I came away saying... we are the 'half a dozen of one" and they are the "six of the other": the same!
Historically, every social and philosophical discussion on the subject of 'criminal justice' has called for and encourages the compact of 'swift & exact punishment' - this is distinguished from 'swift justice'.
justice, in the defined sense of the word, could only be said to have taken place where there was a 'fair trial' that was done within a 'reasonable' time. The fairness of the trial is essential to the whole process. This cannot be said to be the case where an accused is rushed into trial and not made to understand what and why they are being charged for a criminal offence. If this is not done, the accused will never fully accept the outcome of the trial. But prior to all of this, there is the need to have been taught the doctrine of 'Law & Order' as to the social and personal benefits of this concept.
It is only where persons lack the fundamental understandings that underpin the philosophies of laws that the compact of swift and fair punishment is defined as and confused with their attempts to replace 'justice' with the delusion of 'swift justice'. This should not be confused by the greater community to be 'justice'; in particular, students of the law should not confused 'swift justice' to equate with 'justice'.
The flawed process, in addition to corrupting and encouraging incompetence among the faculty staff and officers of the court, it merely stirs a sense of unfairness and injustice in the accused. This then, rather than producing a remedy to the wrong, produces and leaves society with an angry malcontent who, sooner or later, must be released back into the community. During this time, his close friends and family members come to sympathize with the unfortunate plight; and in addition to the accused scorn, this associations of relationships come to distrust the ability of the justice system to be fair. This is a factor in the breakdown of 'Law & Order'.
The compact of 'swift & exact punishment' ought to be executed only after there was a 'fair trial' and 'conviction': the triad of a perfect triangle. The entire process would result in justice... there is no such creature to be created, nor to be born in nature called 'swift justice'. Justice is either fair or unjust, it cannot be delayed or swift!!!
It is a rule of law that 'justice delayed is justice denied'. As a ex-convict and student of law, I understand the practicality and underpinning mischief this rule sought to avoid: injustice. And I also came to know that 'injustice breaths injustice'.
More fundamental than any rule of law is the geometry rule which says when one angle of a triangle is unknown and two angles of that triangle is known, the unknown angle can be calculated: add the two known angles to get their total and then, subtract this amount from 180. What remains is the unknown angle.
I have adopted this approach when assessing situations in everyday life, i.e., if something smells bad, and if it looks bad... chances are, it will taste and be bad - consequently, it is not good... leave it alone. The rotting state tells us it ought to be discarded - thrown it away..., flush it down the toilet..., place it in the trash bin, etc etc. This approach cannot be over emphasize in matters of our judiciary.
So if were to accept the rule that 'justice delayed is justice denied', do we then take the approach that puts court matters to the extreme opposite of the spectrum, that is, swift justice? The question begs as to what is the appropriate MEDIAN to apply to this formulation so that our justice system can equate with an acceptable result.
Sadly, the things that sometimes come out of some people's mouth smell so bad that you can become confused as to which end it come from - what I mean is, you can hardly discern the difference in the smells, i.e. is it just their bad breath, or, is it human feces. But they promote and pontificated it and we, the public, are made go along with it, i.e. swift justice.
At least one of the truthful facts that came from Mr. Pintard's mouth was: "She [LBT] has been our best debater in the House of Assembly".
This is as close to the threshold that one can get in saying that Mrs. Butler-Turner is the only and most effective leader of the Opposition in the Parliament of The Bahamas.
Right across the street from all this ruckus is a lengthy vacant property on the side of Dominoes pizza. It stretches from Bay Street right on to the back street. As I understand it, it is owned by the Fountain/Isaacs family. Sir Cyril Fountains' wife.
I suggest that this would be an ideal temporary location form the vendors until construction repairs are completed.
Well said Publius... couldn't be stated better. Long Island people got 'muscle' and 'guts'. The voters in Long Island don't listen to the growl in their stomach. From what is solidly evident in their political history, all are advised to treat Long Islanders with utter respect.
