That is why they still can't find the body parts of Maurice Bishop anywhere, up to today, and Kenny has placed Bishop's communist right-hand man and brother of the Minister of Insecurity, to head the local Development Bank? Development? I'll be damned!

Kenny is a communist. He looks like one. He thinks like one. He talks like one. He behaves like one.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a du-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-c-c-ck!!!!!

Maurice Bishop got his just deserts. "Children and fools should not play with sharp-edged tools."

Earl is in his element here. I can almost visualize him grinning from ear to ear lapping this little chance at relevance up. These clueless MOFOs romanticize what could be described the greatest human tragedy in the history of the Caribbean. See how he airbrushes the many lives lost in the pursuit of a Marxist Leninist ideological experiment by egotistical narcissists in a culture that cherishes freedom of thought and expression.

Sure enough Eric Gary was a crazy, evil power hungry tyrannical buffoon to wrest power by a coup, no matter how justified, was one ballsy thing to do but not to revert to the rule of law, democracy, and freedom made Bishop and the rest just as maniacally power hungry as Gary. Taking the poor people of Grenada from one extreme to another.

Nothing could justify what these MOFOs did to invite the possibility and eventuality of hell on earth on the unsuspecting, battle scared people of Grenada. They held a tiger by the tail and it consumed them.

The lesson we should take away from this is that we must instill a sense of patriotism, civic mindedness, and the urgency of eternal vigilance in our people, especially the youth, that no group of politicians will do to us what Gary did the people of Grenada to have precipitated this tragedy.

It is the kind of politics that is inspired by hegemonic dominance of the political landscape. Scorched earth tactics, demonization of opponents, to remain in power to satisfy ego and greed that gives rise to two-bit cowards turning into tyrants and despots.

All Saint Lucians should commit to the mantra. "NO "GRENADA" ON MY WATCH". Blind manaical support of party is a precursor of tyranny.

The United States invaded a sovereign country called Grenada, what ever your politics it was wrong. The minute you turn your eyes away to International injustice my brother remember....today someone's country is invaded tomorrow it could be your very own.

One thing with those communists, failures can stare them in the face like a born-again dinosaur, but their so-called revolutions never die. Maurice Bishop to those jackasses, still lives.
