“When you win say nothing, when you lose say less” – Paul Brown

This bit of wisdom has been wasted on persons like the leader of the opposition, Philip Brave Davis, as he has said more since the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) lost the last general election then he has in his entire political career.

Before I go on, I would just like to say this, in regards to the Duane Sands matter, it is my most fervent belief that the push behind his resignation by this PLP opposition and this continued push to ‘expose’ more has very little to do with him breaking protocol but rather is a spiteful and vindictive move to exact revenge for his alleged role in the perceived wrongful prosecution of former PLP MP Frank Smith – it is that simple.

“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, first dig two graves.” – Confucius

First grave; the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) is currently overplaying a situation where in the former minister of health, Dr. Duane Sands made a judgment call which he felt was in the best interest of the country.  The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) called for his head on a pole in Rawson Square for violating the Emergency Orders put forth by the Competent Authority, which they criticized as being “over reaching” but in regards to the actions of the former minister if health; were there not mitigating circumstances?

For those full of blood lust to smooth over perceived past wrong doings there seem to be none.

Just how much do you punish someone for breaking these protocols if they fervently believe that they acted in the best interest of the country?

Is the leader of the opposition and those within that political organization that continue to campaign for more bloodletting actually saying that they would never violate the law to do what’s in the best interest of The Bahamas?

Bahamians take note.

It can only be suggested by those that would not to exact the most severe penalty upon Dr. Sands for him doing what he felt was in the best interest of the country.  Now he has accepted the responsibility for his action, has accepted the consequences of these actions and yet this New, New, New, [New] PLP party still asks for another pound of flesh.

“PLP still has questions after Sands resignation” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “While noting that the opposition will seek explanations from other Cabinet ministers, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) leader Philip Brave Davis said yesterday he found it ‘difficult to believe’ former Minister of Health Dr. Duane Sands acted alone when he made a controversial decision to allow six persons permanent residents to disembark on New Providence, a week ago, and quarantine at home while the borders were closed to Bahamians.” 

Mr. Davis does a very dishonorable thing here as he neglects to state the particulars of what actually occurred but this is politics and the grave that he presently digs he digs for himself because the people at large are not as blood thirsty as he is and have questioned his moral authority to ask these questions in light of his political past but as Mr. Davis suggests, elections wipes the slates clean, something which I actually believes that he believes and further affirms my assertion that he is not fit to lead The Bahamas.

Before I end I would just like to comment on the PLP Chairman’s repose to this matter.  He should be ashamed of making such statements condemning Sands for his actions because of the simple fact that he chairs a political organization formed in 1953 and whose elected officials to date have not accepted any responsibility for any malfeasances; even if they were caught with the bloody knife in their hands, blood still dripping from it and the warm dead body at their feet.

Indeed this New, New, New [New] Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), led by Philip ‘Brave’ Davis is totally despicable as an opposition and should never be government.

The PLP fails for one reason, it is their nature.
