		Hubert Alexander Ingraham, the recently elected leader of the Official Opposition, and his ubiquitous Deputy Brent Symonette committed a monumental political gaffe by not attending the new session of Parliament in Rawson Square on Wednesday, 15 February, 2006.

		The said actions of Mr Ingraham and Mr Symonette leads many in the Bahamian public to ponder whether the present supposed new unity in the FNM is nothing but a farce, a bare-faced lie.

	The Freeport News - The race card no longer works
		Symonette's successful bid for the deputy leadership of his party, with some suggesting that this achievement by a very capable and respectable Bahamian politician is tantamount to turning the clock back on the gains made by the fl majority in this country.
		Symonette is white and the son of the late Sir Roland Symonette, who was leader of the now disbanded United Bahamian Party (UBP) and in that capacity served as the first premier of The Bahamas.
		By attacking Brent Symonette and linking him to the UBP, members of the PLP who participate in this racist exercise are seeking to remind fls in this country that the UBP was a wicked and racist political organization, which indeed it was.

	The Freeport News - Who are our heroes?
		Surely, if race were not an issue — both Sir Roland and Sir Stafford were white — there would have been no question that they were more than deserving of being honoured as outstanding Bahamians.
		In the case of Sir Roland, if our history is to be recorded correctly, it is impossible not to appreciate the contributions of the man who led the first government of The Bahamas that had almost full authority over the internal affairs of this country after it received some degree of autonomy from Great Britain.
		And despite the fact that there are those who would seek to deny Sir Stafford his status as an outstanding Bahamian, he likewise earned the right to be considered a national hero as the architect of this country's successful tourism industry and strong economy.

	Scandal in the Bahamas II
		Between 1858 and 1864, while 313 ships were lost on the Bahamian shores, the Assembly was made up almost entirely of the owners of the colony's 302 salvage ships, and most of the eligible electorate consisted of their crews.
		American gangsters built stucco palaces on the islands, and many of today's leading Bahamians-including the Premier Sir Roland Symonette himself-amassed their fortunes smuggling whisky into the U.S. With the repeal of prohibition in 1932 the Bahamas sank, with the rest of the world, into the Great Depression.
		This is remarkable because the Boys do not especially admire one another and some—Sir Stafford Sands and Sir Roland Symonette, for example—have been know to say derogatory about each other.

		They are aware of a curious division of sentiment in the United States Government, and the fact that they might have an unwilling ally in, strange enough, the State Department.
		The State department was for maintaining the status quo, preferring to deal with the Sir Stafford Sands-dominated white government rather than to risk another Congo, or worse, just 70 miles from our shores.
