It has nothing to do with them. Their horse is not strong enough or of natural ability to affect that country. The U.S is just trying to intervene because they want to promote their 'peace keeping, democratic agenda' when they know they are in debt and cannot afford a military occupation in that country. The Ukraine was once apart of Russia, and now that it is falling apart, it is only right for Russia, 1 of 3 dominant communist countries in that area, to intervene and protect fellow Russians that tend to make up majority of Crimea's population. Also the black sea is an ocean outlet for Russia that will be very instrumental for them. Crimea's government is falling apart and they are on the verge of neo-nazism. Russia will be their savior. America cannot afford to intervene. Just like America wanting to conquest other countries in dire situations, who are they to tell rival Russia who is neighboring another country with majority of Russians that they cannot intervene and take over as well..?

Oh yes, I found it very, very disturbing that the PM insisted that he would clear all of Lightbourne's debt just to keep him on board the VAT machine. He sounded and looked so stupid saying that stuff on the News. Lightbourne is a property tax delinquent, and I dont see why the PM needs to clear his history compared to all the 'citizens' that support and pay this government. If this is the case, every last property tax delinquent Bahamian must be cleared of their history as well. Simply calling the bank and leaving a message is not enough. It wasnt even a task for the PM. He is just trying to make it seem like he is doing something. This PM is not in the realm of living for modern day Bahamians. The PM claims that Ishy was: 'significantly' underpaid compare to foreign consultants? Is he serious with that statement? You are admitting to your mistake of putting foreigners before Bahamians..? "...it is obvious that the call for the Government to dismiss Mr Lightbourne is a clear attempt to discredit and shoot the messenger, because there are those special interests who do not like the VAT message he is delivering on behalf of the Government." A clear attempt to discredit and shoot the messenger? The PM got it wrong, we aint tryna discredit him, he discredited himself when he chose to ignore paying his taxes, and thought it would go unnoticed like every other issue in this country and now that the people know this, you are going to blame us for not wanting to support him?? Damn, if this is how the PLP operates, we are doomed. This man deserves no special requests and bribery from the PM. What a shame this man is, he is continually showing us how he is not competent enough to run this country. He doesn't act like a leader, and doesnt have a leader personality, its like he is waiting on consultants and committees to tell him how to run a country.

The 'policemans' dude, The 'bahamalanders public floggn Bran' dude. He has some good posts, but I get weary of reading them because its hard to understand what he is trying to say. I find myself dissecting his post to figure out why he couldnt have said it simpler.

Im sorry Fred. Even though you are a Foreign Affairs Minister, your words or advice is not going to be acknowledged. The U.S doesn't have a horse in the race, so why was this statement made again? You cannot even acknowledge the answers from your own people, yet who are you to offer advice on how the Ukraine is dealing with their problems? We've got our own problems, and we are still awaiting for a response, yet your colleagues in your department do this??

Church is for Sinners.

Yup, Arson. They think we Bahamians dumb. The only way to get rid of the garbage 'pile up' or 'load' is to burn it down to nothing. They claim we have better ways to deal with our trash and waste. Yet every year around the same time, this same thing happens. Incineration was always the best method of getting rid of non-recycled items, too bad we dont have a proper Emissions Agency to ensure that it is carried out the right way. Very hazardous to the atmosphere and those living around it.

This Fred Smith guy is only looking for publicity. His run in with Koed Smith put him in the papers, and now he thinks he's ready for press releases. Nobody cares about you Fred Smith, it seems like all of you lawyers feel obligated for press releases. Is this a new trend in their 'field'? This is definitely not a major issue in this country. Its not like we go out harming LGBT's or threatening their lives. They live free just like everyone else here. They need to go and pressure the Arab states etc that actually put persons to death for it. To amend the Constitution on this issue before the other 'major' issues in this country would be complete insult to Bahamian people and it will only prove that the government does not have its priorities in order. Its like they prey on the 'weaker' governments to hopefully overthrow the ideas of the most powerful governments. This is a propaganda recipe for LGBT.

He has seen the letter, just like every other letter they skim through and jump to conclusions on.

Why would Munroe write the Pope? Isnt the Pope a Worldwide 'Catholic' leader? The Pope only has a 'say' within his jurisdiction of the 'Catholic Church'. Munroe as one of the many Religious leaders, has a right to write Minister Fred as Fred's decisions will affect all Bahamians, Munroe is an important person in the 'Bahamian' religious arena, need I say he is a Bahamian as well.

Be careful what you speak about and try to push for Mitchell, this is not about you, this is about Bahamians. If you are representing the Bahamian People, please remove your personal interest from it, you might give others the wrong impression about us. You push for this now, and then when I go to the bathroom to take a quick 'leak', I surprisingly have a female on the side of me that dresses and 'thinks' she is a man using the urinal, with her leg kicked up as well. Very Disturbing. What rights are the LGBT really vying for that they dont already have, is the main question at hand? Fxck the liberal LGBT, please dont awaken the beast, I want to live to see old age.
