Anti-government horses need reawakening

WHERE Mr. Kissoon and those of his ilk? Over the past few weeks he had been so agile about his allegations that this Government is holding the status of being an ‘elected dictatorship’, but all of a sudden he seems to be silent about his allegations? Dr. Prem Misir picked up on this allegation and disputed Mr. Kissoon’s assertions of Guyana being an ‘elected dictatorship’. But all the horses seem to be back in their stables, trying to be dormant, ruminating on hay.

I am assuming that they probably realised that their allegations were deeply flawed, and unreasonable, notwithstanding what the reality is, as opposed to the content of their fairy-tale episodes.

Such an act by these fairy-tale writers verifies the weak level of their arguments, and this also applies to the many persons who write in the newspapers, who are unable to back up their arguments and allegations, since the majority of their allegations are unreal.

As Misir stated in his letter titled, ‘Where is the creeping dictatorship that President Jagdeo is busily constructing?’ – “Political mischief continues to drive lawlessness and irresponsibility in Guyana. The increasing use of mayhem to distort the work and achievements of the democratically-elected People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government has long become the norm of politics in this country; and so, we would need to distinguish between politicians who ‘live off politics’ and politicians who ‘live for politics’. Those politicians who ‘live off of politics’ are the prominent mischief makers heavily armed with promoting self-interests rather than the people’s interests.”

Everyday, these persons try to create havoc within our society, in an effort to segregate the people, for either political gain or just for boredom’s sake. Dr. Misir in his letter went on to say, “Let me say that use of the race card for some time now has turned out to be the mask for this unrelenting political mischief, especially articulated through the media. What is the reason for this mischief? Clearly, the raison d’être has to do with undermining this government and rewrite the political history of this country. But the people have the power to end this political nuisance, a political tragedy in some sense. “

Kissoon and those of his ilk seem to be captivated by this mirage that Government of Guyana is an ‘elected dictatorship’. How then are we enjoying so many freedoms? How is it that they (Mr. Kissoon and like-minded others) and all the other opponents are allowed to express their opinions in the media today? As Misir stated, “And we now hear from regular, or may be ‘paid’ media letter writers, that President Bharrat Jagdeo is a ‘dictator’, busily constructing a ‘creeping dictatorship’, and an ‘elected dictatorship’, and may be ‘pleasing’ Indians. It’s not surprising that these terms were excluded from the vernacular of the PNC regime when these very people worked within the PNC dictatorship; not unexpected because they seem unable to distinguish between a dictatorship and a thriving democracy.”

I want to make it clear that this anti-government group of paid columnists seem to be back in their stables, trying to be dormant, ruminating on hay, without reinforcing their position of Guyana being an ‘elected dictatorship’. These horses need some reawakening.
