Dishonest politicians

Most politicians of today are dishonest; they lie, steal,cheat, etc, to get elected and do nothing until the next election.

There are only a few politicians in Dominica I  think are  honest and one is  Prime Minister Skerrit, unless one can show me or give me proof that he is not; I like the guy. Let every politician show you their bank book before they are elected, and five years after they are in office.

Most of them stay in office for years, and groom their kids to take their place after they decide to leave office; those idiots make a career out of suckers like us. It’s time a law be implemented for term limit.

What is so sad is that there are people who have become enemies for these idiots. Some of us are only being used. When last did any of these jokers invited you or your kids to dinner with their families or to their kid’s birthday party?

A doctor once warned me that I was a servant for Christ; these clowns are servants elected by the people who voted them in office. I have one advice to the Prime Minister to be a great leader; Jesus Christ must be your Master, Lord and Saviour. Every great man needs one to make him great. Muhammad Ali needed Joe Frazier, Viv Richards needed Lillie, Jordan needed Magic, and you need a good opposition to make you a great leader. Important people are those who makes a different in others lives.

    @austrie alias Peepip: You people will stop at nothing.how many homes have you been in where the typical breakfast was breadfruit and saltfish with cocoa tea.
    Because I grew up in Wesley and I don’t remember that as typical breakfast I had bread and butter and sometimes bread with cheese yes we eat cheese with bread just like any other village in Dominica. you pompous ass!

    @Muslim_Always:

    Why is it that if people do not have the same thinking mode as you, and support the party of their choice, you want to accuse the whole country as morally bankrupt. Why do you want to make people subscribe to you morals as to what you think is right or wrong. Your morals are yours, you are entitled to them, good for you, but you have no right to suggest the morals you hold, everyone should have, even a Nation. Why is it also you want to impose your religious beliefs and concepts on a Nation, again what your religious beliefs are and what God means you should not be the same for other People, When you said quote “why not rule the country with God’s word? ” that sounds frighting to our Dominica, there is no need for Religious fanaticism, and religious zealots, Government has no right to govern enforcing religious beliefs, people are entitled to freedom of worship.

    Dominica is independent, but what has the GDP has to do with independence. Our Country has always had a trade deficit, it is not only held with the present Government it has also been that way with past Governments. What is your point,you know I just cant understand, When The UWP was in power they had help and assistance from Taiwan and other countries and I’m sure that you never questioned what the cost of doing business with Taiwan was, now that the present Government left the Taiwanese and went to China, you’re now questioning the cost of doing business with China, come on, let us be fair and honest with ourselves.

    On the question of the last elections and your statements that it was rigged, and at the same time your asking quote “What concrete proof is there to support this claim? Can we support this claim by stating ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire?’” the later phrase sounds nice and convenient to use
    where is the evidence you propose. The question I would like to ask you, who is making the smoke?

    Finally you’re calling for us to unite as Dominicans,are you truly serious as to what you’re saying. You opened your statement saying the country is morally bankrupt condemning the country and showing your biases. Well why have you not start with your self and stop being bias and want people to have the same political affiliations, the same Religious beliefs as you. When you have done that, come back clean and be honest that is all that I’m asking for.

    Mr. Smart, Dominica’s smaters!

    Note:

    An Associate in Science, in Electronic Engineering, is a totally different degree, in comparison to an Bachelor in Science.

    You only need two years to obtained an Associate (AS) in Science, in electronics, and with that you can only function as an Electronic Test Technician, and trouble-Shooter, at least that’s the way it is in America, I do not know about Dominica, where your educational system, and technologies may be different, okay!

    In order to obtained a Bachelor in Science in Electronic Engineering, at least four years of study’s are required, and that does not include your requisites you see; so I do not understand your babbling’s, although one first have to obtain an ( AS) in the same field before you can move on to a four year University, in peruse of the bachelors, so I do not understand your reasoning.

    As everything else, we in Dominica, have all the answers, and must find a reason to criticize!

    So, be informed Mr. Smart, when disusing an (AS), and an (BS) in Electronic Engineering, you are talking about two different levels of academics.

    You are talking about two different levels of educational skills!

    Number one, my degree in Electronic Engineering affords me the knowledge to do both general, and remedial designs; I do not know many electronic technicians who can call themselves a design engineer:

    I am an Electronic/Electrical design engineer, got it right now?

    I been there, done that, so if I boast, that’s my privilege!

    A God given talent, and nothing you say, nor how much you critique me can take away my knowledge.

    @ Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque

    Here we go again! Why boasteth thyself, comrade? Many folks do not comment but they can read between the lines. Many have, at least, one academic degree. An Associate of Science (AS) in Electrical Engineering is about the midway point to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Electrical Engineering. So why count them as two, You only boast about an AS if you do not advance to a BSc,

    Furthermore, all academic degrees have some core requirements. You must complete the minimum number of credit hours in math, english, chemistry, biology etc. You do not have to be a linguistic major to have the correct subject/verb agreement. I have already made that observation but you gave a fuzzy excuse. We learn that stuff in elementary school and it’s reinforced in high school and college.

    You erroneously write, and you do it repeatediy in all your posts: “People who writeS on DNO submitS their comments under a fictitious name without stating which political party they supportS.” Then you continue, “Very few of the numbers of people who commentS usually identify’S fhemselves as a DLP, UWP or DFP supporter.” You also added, “…..three major party’S on the island….” (The capital “S” at the end of the words are to highlight your errors, Mr. Perfect. You need to stugy your subject/verb agreement. Boy you have some strange usage of the apostrophe. Party’s should be parties. This is not a typo; you do it all the time. It is a deficiency and a serious lack of understanding for a guy who boasts about having 4 academic degrees.

Look like you are on a different planet with extra hours my friend. Can I guess? Pluto!Any way keep on writing yo bring me joy yes you do.
    When ever am sad or down and want to smile, laugh or scream I look for a FET response to any topic.FET a serious question ,jokes aside. Is there a topic you would keep quiet on? I doubt.Why you may ask: Cause FET is a little God, he knows hears and ses all things.FET write something about Black holds in space.
    Looking foward eagerly to reading the King of Wesley’s response when he returns from sunday service and sits and have had his typical wesley style breakfast.Comprising of the following: Cacoa tea, roast bread fruit, & salt fish.Lots of energy for reading and writing on DNO. This is the wesley power pac meal. maybe you can push this meal FET.

    In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

    Firstly, the government has to serve the interests of the people. The question is, are the majority of the people morally bankrupt or not in this country? If so, is the government forced to be just as morally corrupt to fulfill their selfish interest so that they could remain in power?

    Secondly, is Dominica really a christian country or a country filled with ‘christians?’ Is it a christian country or a christian state? If the people really loved Jesus Chrsit peace be upon him and the prophets, why not rule the country with God’s word? Why rule by post colonial slavery laws and secularism if you really speak the truth? If the motto is apres bondie c’est later, shouldn’t the people submit to the will of God before everything else including the country?

    Thirdly, we claim that Dominica is independent, is that really true? What is our GDP? Are we still in a trade deficit or our revenue is higher than our expenditure? Additionally, we appreciate the assistance from ‘friendly’ countries like China however, what do these friends want in return? What will this cost to us? Can we really meet their demands if any?

    Another point is, many people claim that the DLP rigged or manipulated the elections by paying for flights for overseas Dominicans. What concrete proof is there to support this claim? Can we support this claim by stating ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire?’

    To conclude, when will we as a people develop a keen awareness so that we can tackle key issues in our country? When will we put aside petty politics, pride, arrogance, selfishness and envy as a people so that we can tackle real problems such as high unemployment, the increase in crime and unsolved murders, moral degradation and illicit drugs? I pray that Dominicans wake up, otherwise, God will replace this nation of people with another to enjoy this beautiful landscape.

    Don’t you know it is good to be elderly?

    Not knowing me personally; yet you suggest that I am elderly, and I lack comprehension!

    So, let me inform you that this self-profess King of Wesley, who was able to earn four (4) scientific degrees, in the field of Electronics, and Electrical Engineering must be a master at comprehension because one who is unable to understand could not have accomplished what I have accomplished.

    What is your academic accomplishments?

    Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque:

    Bachelors in Science; Electronic Engineering: Bachelors in Science Electrical Engineering;

    Associate in Science; Electronic Engineering: Associate in Arts, in the Liberal Arts.

    And mind you I am also good at Health Science, since I also studied medicine, though I failed to obtain a medical degree, which I can return to school and obtain, if I so desire.

    Yes, I also majored in Health Science, what have you done with young life?

    Ooooooooooooooops, sorry my mistake, I hear you majored in political demagoguery!

    Unless you have something better academically to present than what this old feeble man has, you need to stop trying to insult peoples intelligence.

    As for been elderly, if you know that I am elderly, perhaps both your and my umbilical cord was cut about the same time, that’s how you manage to know me so well!

    I suppose you are as old as the day you were born, that’s why you operate so childish, and immature:

    This guy must have been a priest during the Spanish Inquisition, if you Sir, represent God then I’ll take the devil because right now Satan seems to be the lesser of two evils. You probably deny the holocaust too and still thinks that the world is flat, what a mega-fool.

  22. @Anti-hate:

    Seriously Anti-hate; how can you determine which contributors are supports of the UWP, DLP, DFP, or any other political party, considering that 99.999% of the people who writs on DNO submits their comments under a fictitious name without stating which political party they, supports.

    Some of these people may not even be affiliated with any of the three major party’s on the island.

    Very few of the numbers of people who comments usually identify’s themselves as a DLP, UWP, or DFP supporter. You do not know if some of the people you are demeaning, are supporters of the Labor Party, whom you claim to support.

    How do we know that you are not a sheep in wolves’ clothing pretending to be defending the labor party, when in fact your motive, and agenda, is programmed to destroy the party in a deliberate, and psychological way?

    One of the reasons the UWP failed was due to what I term ” exclusion; ” when people embarked on a system of exclusion which causes alienation, (leaving people out), that usually gives them a reason to link with those who are willing to accept them; you may just be causing lots of damage to your party of choice; if indeed you are a supporter of the same, and not actually recognizing the damage you are causing.

    Let me teach you how politics works:

    Within a political campaign, one should go all out for their party to win, do what it takes; we know that in politics, during the campaign, the truth will be distorted a bit in most cases to gain political advantage.

    Every politician is aware of this; it is a ploy commonly used, and the party bests at such a ploy usually wins!

    When that happens, there are foot soldiers, and supporters who take it on personally, and for years they dwell on the loss, or the win, when in fact they should get behind the winner, and support the winner’s in their undertakings, with the hope that both government and people can accomplish something that will benefit the people, and nation on a whole.

    It is disruptive when foot soldiers drag on, and on, ridiculing, insulting, the loosing party, and other citizens whom though they did not vote for the party in power, they actually would like to see the government succeed.

    After all; Dominica does not belong to any member of the DLP, UWP, or the DFP. We as a people; all hold an equal share in our country, therefore we all need to participate in the development of our nation, regardless, of who is in control, leading the country.

    Anyone who wishes to see the government of the day, or party of the day fails, because they dislike the party, or individuals serving in the present government of any day simply because they won an election, and another party loses, that person would indeed be a confounded fool!

    You nee to review what you are doing and see if your contributions are serving a useful purpose, or are your contributions alienating, and causing a destructive divide among our people.

    It’s OK for them to typecast all Labourites as being lazy, stupid, good-for-nothing beggars who voted for hand-outs…

    It’s OK for every good thing the PM does to develop the country, they oppose, even going so far as to say that the Morocco-assisted hotel would be a safe haven for terrorists…

    It’s OK for UWPites to come on DNO and make racist comments towards the entire Chinese population because an ignorant Dominican got into a conflict with a short-tempered Chinese worker who was just trying to do his job…..

    I could go on for another 20 paragraphs but u get my drift…All these things are OK…but it’s not OK for me to make fun of the mentally deficient UWPites on here??!!!

    It seems like we have alot of UWP people on DNO news all the time, this is no doubt the work of their campaign strategy to hate the Prime Minister, Foreign Investment, Infrastructural development and humanity.

    What has Dominica come to? The only thing that keep us awake and divided is politics. The man of god has set an example for all to follow, the Bible admonishes us to pray for our leaders, not curse them. I’m suprise to see that you guys still live in Dominica if you say the Government is corrupt.

    I’m calling on Dominicans to open your eyes and see that the OPPOSITION want nothing more than to divide the country, they are a bunch of power hungry guys. If UWP was government I would pray and support them.

    Dominica has grown into a society that we expect too much from a government and a Prime Minister who is trying to see that the country reaches the top, remember that they live here too. UWP and DLP have corrupt leaders and we must find other ways in which we must make comments to certai issues rather tear down peoples moral.

    What up self-proclaimed ‘King of Wesley’? Your vocabulary is ight but it seems you have issues of comprehension my elderly friend…

    I wasn’t even addressing the letter, I was addressing the abuse of the like/dislike feature by UWP supporters.. I kno u’re a frequent DNO reader so I’m sure u’ve observed that on many posts there are so few pro-UWP comments that you would think they hav no remaining supporters.

    Now that we have like/dislike, they’re clicking away like crazy..which lead me to the logical conclusion that many of them are unable to make sensible comments so they resort to simply like/dislike…

    It’s kind of like when you’re not athletically gifted…so you stay on the sidelines and cheer for your team and boo the opponent….Get the analogy my elderly friend??

    and yes my statements are partisan, so what? it’s not that serious…this is just fun to me, ridiculing the UWPites…i’m sure no one is thinking of jumping off a cliff cuz some anonymous labourite posted on DNO making fun of em…

    Here you have it. This so called godly man has an agenda, one that will take him to hell. He needs to take inventory of himself.

  33. @Anti-hate:

    Shirley, This is exactly the sort of thing that I spoke about in our special communication, disseminated to a higher level of people educationally:

    I read it all, and although the comments pertain to politicians, the author did not mention the name of any political party.

    The author indeed mention Prime Minister Skerrit’s, if memory serves me correctly, the writer stated their likes for Mr. Skerrit, that could mean that Skerrit is his/her favorite politician, and suggest if anyone has evidence to substantiate their allegations regarding Mr. Skerrit; it appears the person is saying he/she may change their opinion about him, if the allegations are proved.

    Yet, however, the great, and illustrious, Anti-hate, has chosen to make mention of UWP, thus blowing a simple comment out of proportion.

    It would appear the author is talking about crooked and unscrupulous politicians in Dominica, and I assume that, simply because he mentioned Mr. Skerrit. If the writer made no mention of any political party in particular, how did Anti-hate manage to zero in on the UWP?

    The person spoke of politicians in general in Dominica, that to me would loop every and all politicians in the country, no matter which party they are affiliated with, or to which they belong in the same category.

    When we a bias, it shows.

    Biasness is never a good thing, benign bias and one-sidedness, serves no other purpose than to set strive, confusion and division.

    People need to be fair, speak your piece, but do it with dignity and respect of self.

    When we rant and rave creating issues, politicizing issues which should not be over-politicize people usually loses respect for us, I am actually disgust with this person who believes that they are ” anti-hate.”

    If you are ” anti-hate ” how come you are spreading so much political poisonous venom in all of your submissions?

    Like a serpent, a deadly cobra, a vicious scorpion, you spew your deadly venom; make some sense, write something that well help unite our people, rather than continuing on your path of division and destruction, become civilize, there is a time for politicking, nonetheless, the time is not now!

    No wonder your name is written in all lower case letters.

    I consider you a hateful, and deceitful person; learn to love your enemies and neighbors as yourself!

    It is said ” united we stand, divided we shall fall.”

    I’ve read some of the posts and it s worth noting to remark that Dominica’s leadership is not at the behest of one man, however in life there are seasons. I remember the popularity of PJ. I also remember the stewardness of Dame Eugenia Charles and of course the other interim PM s at the strange circustances that has since followed, we now have an dully elected Goverment in office head by RS. There is no way each and everybody is going to give him a hand shake at his every move. But the greates thing that we as a nation can do to help stabilize the country , and to help move it forward is to trully pray for it’s leadership. It is very easy to throw a rock, that will only do more damage. Let us pray so that the Good Lord above might send his blessings on our country Skerrit is still a man with multiple flaws just like you.

    Loubiere; If Skerro is your role model no wonder Da is F***. I guess Tim is also a business mentor to you… I doh want to laugh to loud & hard ,just had surgery. Ever heard of the pot telling the kettle it’s bottom is black? …
    back to you Loubiere you’ll be a great trainee.I trust you do not become a politician.As for the pastor go say your prayers to enter your heaven cause you are on a one way ticket to hell.I’d love to pay your passage priority mail.Overnight delivery hypocrite.

    I don’t necessarily agree wit the Pastor’s sentiments but I did make this observation lol

    Now we all know that the majority of the UWP supporters aren’t the brightest bulbs out there…

    Yes there are a handful who can articulate, but the majority just speak a bunch of crap..which is why on DNO u usually see a lot more posts by gov supporters than by the United Worthless Party supporters…

    Then…lo and behold….here came the like/dislike feature to the rescue of the illiterate and incoherent UWP supporters…now, even if they can’t put together a decent argument, they can simply dislike points made by labourites, and act as cheerleaders to their handful of colleagues who make comments here…

    LMAO!!! This is all very entertaining to me…Go ahead UWPites dislike this…intellectual midgets y’all are…

    Pastor are you being honest? Are you sure you are not blinded by your intense liking for Skeritt? How much money did he contribute to your church from the public funds? Pastor I suggest you stick to preaching the word of God, collecting your collections, and stay out of this kind of politics, go back to your pulpit and teach your followers the differences between right and wrong according to word of God, OH! srupid me, how can you teach what you don’t know? apparently, you pastor do not know the difference between right and wrong, and it is S$%^& like you that has brought Dominica to the state of moral decadance that it is in now, you endorse evil and immorality!! and you help perpetuate it!

    It seemed that the PM Skerit has declared his assets to this writer.
    This guy is not from Dominica to write a ” MESSIA QUIK story! ”
    Apparently he’s not here to feel the pain Dominicans are feeling. If he is a man of god, he would have known all the Bobols that are going on in Skerit’s govt.
    You think those Politicians here are easy, so much bobols, they can pay your passage to hell and tell others that they send you to heaven!

    The writer is right with what he said, well said, there has never been a party like the DLP who developed Dominica. Prime Minister Skerritt is a model of honesty, moral and great leadership skills.

    I know I will get many haters for that but you know what, I dont care because you all don’t care and you know what Dominicans genrally don’t care, because we jealous of the man that doing good to bad talk and keep him down.

    Skerritt has a good heart and he operates by faith, he is model to young people like me.

    It`s amazing this man is a pastor. You know I have lost all respect for these so-called religious leaders in society. They are the ones who should set the example and ensure that their followers are exposed to the truth, but instead continue to mislead us to fullfil their own agenda. Keep your opinion to yourself pastor, i have a mind of my own thank you.

    Past Or Pack It. Conform not to the evil men of this world , but transform yourself in the goodness of the lord. I am reminded of Jim Jones, the evangelist who had so much influence on his congregation in Guyana, that he inspired them to drink poison which killed almost all the followers. He was doing it for GOD, he said. Not because you like a man that you must denounce Godliness and drown yourself in dishonest comments. Dominicans cannot be schooled by you on what is honesty, because we know what honest actions and behaviour are all about. Honesty with Rubbish Bin BOBOl? Honest about land deals? Does your Skerritt have any interest in Villas at Savanne Paille? In fact, too many examples for this Blog. Which BIBLE do you read from?

    When Skerrit die he will be a good man..this is Dominica..Don’t know what you got till it’s gone.

    The writer lives in NY…….he has no clue. Pathetic really. His wife and children are in the states as well. He has family here but hasn’t returned home in a while. His father is a “retiree” and can jolly well fend for himself.
    Get the picture.

    Your hypocrite,the bible will burn in your hands on the pulpit,in the center of a sermon..Your commentry was most likely paid for.It is nonsensical and empty.You have failed to quote once instance when the PM has displayed honesty,not in the governance of the social,ecomomic and spiritual affairs of the country or the open and transparent governance of the state finances,or even transparency with his relations with other countries..So your cespool of garbage is fit only for you,not to the poor people of this country who are struggling under trying times to make ends meet..When you see him again tell him to speak out against corruption in government,escalating crime rate,the ministers of government that’s awashed with money,people with villas,boats..Speak to him of the fraud in public tendering,and the interferanse of ministers of government in the work of the police.
    We know you and your ilks are bought,so you are not feeling the squeeze,but them my grannie always told me “money makes the devil dance”.So as far as you are concerner to hell with religion.Just pay me and i will carry out you dirty work for you.You are both an adulator and a deceiver..

    SING FOR YOUR SUPPER UNTIL REALITY SMITES YOU STRAIGHT IN THE FACE..HYPOCRITE!!!!
