Begging Hubert “THE DICTATOR” Ingraham to reverse his decision to turn over the leadership of the FNM to Tommy Turnquest was the biggest mistake FNMs made back in 2005.
Despite the fact that he had hand-picked Tommy to succeed him and campaigned for him strongly during a farcical “special leadership election” conducted by the FNM, it was no secret among FNMs generally that Ingrahqam personally orchestrated the campaign for him to return, which speaks volumes for the content of his character.
This is also true about the outright lie that the late FNM leader Cecil Wallace-Whitfield, on his death bed, handpicked Ingraham to replace him as leader when he died in May of 1990.
Ask any or the still-living members of the Dissident Eight who formed the FNM along with Cecil back in 1972 whether they think this is true and they will tell you no. I have always contended that no matter who was the leader of the FNM going into the 1992 general election the FNM would have won because the
Bahamian people were ready for a change politically.
Yet over the years, true FNMs, who fought almost two decades to build the FNM into a viable party capable of winning the government, have allowed Hubert “THE DICTATOR” Ingraham to take over their party and turn it into the failed THIRD FORCE party that he formed after he was put out of the PLP in 1984. Shame on them.
And that shame must be compounded ten-fold if Tommy and the other original FNMs, especially those within Ingraham’s cabinet who are as docile as lapdogs, continue to allow Ingraham to become an absolute dictator.
Welcome to the world of reality.7 deadly sins of narcissism- Shamelessness: Shame is the feeling that lurks beneath all unhealthy narcissism, and the inability to process shame in healthy ways. Magical thinking: Narcissists see themselves as perfect using distortion and illusion known as magical thinking. They also use projection to dump shame onto others. Arrogance: A narcissist who is feeling deflated may reinflate by diminishing, debasing, or degrading somebody else. Envy: A narcissist may secure a sense of superiority in the face of another person’s ability by using contempt to minimize the other person. Entitlement: Narcissists hold unreasonable expectations of particularly favorable treatment and automatic compliance because they consider themselves special. Failure to comply is considered an attack on their superiority, and the perpetrator is considered an “awkward” or “difficult” person. Defiance of their will is a narcissistic injury that can trigger narcissistic rage. Exploitation: Can take many forms but always involves the exploitation of others without regard for their feelings or interests. Often the other is in a subservient position where resistance would be difficult or even impossible. Sometimes the subservience is not so much real as assumed. Bad Boundaries: Narcissists do not recognize that they have boundaries and that others are separate and are not extensions of themselves. Others either exist to meet their needs or may as well not exist at all. Those who provide narcissistic supply to the narcissist are treated as if they are part of the narcissist and be expected to live up to those expectations. In the mind of a narcissist, there is no boundary between self and other. Narcissism – Concerns limited to expressing socially appropriate response when convenient; devalues and exploits others without remorse, Pursues power at all costs, lacks normal inhibitions in its pursuit,Difficulty with empathy, Detesting those who do not admire him , Inability to view the world from the perspective of other people,Dropping friends or treating them cruelly when they no longer serve the narcissist’s needs, Bragging (subtly but persistently) and exaggerating his or her achievements, Flattery towards people who admire and affirm him, Pretending to be more important than he is, Hypersensitivity to any sleights or imagined insults, In The Culture of Narcissism, Christopher Lasch defines a narcissistic culture as one where every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of wealth,[34] this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.In such a society of constant competition, there can be no allies, and little transparency. The threats to acquisitions of social symbols are so numerous, varied and frequently incomprehensible, that defensiveness, as well as competitiveness, becomes a way of life. Any real sense of community is undermined—or even destroyed—to be replaced by virtual equivalents that strive, unsuccessfully, to synthesize a sense of community. Dictator secondary.

@Abaco
Your so right, but those comments was made by Papa him self about Sir Lynden, aint that interesting.
seem to me these same dictator charges were made on Sir Lynden.
Mr. Brown, do you remember me, being the first person to publicly make this charge against the DICTATOR at the time he wrestled the position away from Tommy? I said then that the DICTATOR intentionally put Tommy in the position because he knew Tommy would be the only suck egg who would lay down and play dead while the DICTATOR take his throne away from him. I repeat, what I said back then when I WROTE the letter to the press; that the DICTATOR had promised the country that he would go after two terms; that two terms were enough for any mother’s child to be prime minister, only after ten years he realized things were so sweet he tried not to leave. However the pressure was on for him to leave and he saw no way out so he set poor suck egg Tommy up. He couldn’t allow Allen or Wells win because he knew he couldn’t do to them what he did to poor old Tommy and the rest is history. He is indeed a sorry a** DICTATOR.
Oswald, be careful what you say cause some will accuse you of distorting the facts and trying to indoctrinate others in PLPism, lol.
the ’87 elections should have been Pindling’s last one. As great a man as he was, he didnt know when to go! By staying an extra 10 yrs, it cost his party the government twice!
When the PLP is organized, unified and energized they can not be beat!
Oswald Brown once again you come out in fine fighting form, and I hope this is a sign that you have responded well to your Cancer treatment. I must ask you which one of the FNM lapdogs is worth saving, before they too become docile? Whose got enough mix of pot cake in their breed to feel comfortable with Bahamians from all walks of life? Not too much of a breed that they don’t know how to get down and scrap for Bahamians, and not for the foreigners. He/She got to look good, so being groomed is important. Smart enough to rescue our struggling economy. Will not bite at anyone who dares disagree with them? Knows that some time you have to be good at wagging your tail in friendship to win others over, and then keep your promises. Could it be The Honorable Branville McCartney?
