Dear Editor,
The Whistleblower hopes that noted televangelist Dr. Myles Munroe wasn't caught off-guard when Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Fred Mitchell gave him a tongue-lashing for publically calling him out on his latest pro-homosexuality pronouncement.
Mitchell has a habit of using pejoratives to describe anyone who doesn't agree with him. Last month he called Free National Movement MP Hubert Chipman homophobic, even though Chipman went out of his way to say that he has nothing against homosexuality.
As for Munroe, his only fault in all this is that he called for the removal of Mitchell from his ministerial post after he gave his Trinidadian audience at the University of the West Indies the impression that most Bahamians are pro-gay. And for this Munroe is labeled ignorant and anti-PLP. Mitchell has come dangerously close to giving the impression to the Bahamian public that to disagree with the LGBT view is to be anti-PLP and ignorant. The Whistleblower applauds Munroe for throwing his immense weight behind the anti-gay lobby, despite his alleged support for the party.
The Whistleblower understands that a sitting PLP MP attends his church. My only fault with the noted clergyman is that he should have never mentioned travelling to 138 countries, as this would only whet Mitchell's insatiable appetite to travel more at the expense of the hardworking taxpayers who are already bracing themselves for the impending introduction of the valued added-tax system in July.
It was reported in a national newspaper that Mitchell has already used more than half of his budget after he was advanced a whopping $45,000 for travel. At the rate he is on, he will easily exceed the $1 million he spent on travel in the first Christie government. The Whistleblower will not hold his breath for other men and women of the cloth who are PLPs to come to Munroe's defense.
In their wholehearted devotion to the PLP, Christian personalities such as Prophet Lawrence Rolle, the Rev. Dr. William Thompson, Dwight Armbrister and Mother Pratt will not jump into the anti-gay fray. To do so would only hurt their party. If The Whistleblower is correctly interpreting Mitchell, then the above personalities are in a bit of a quandary. If they were to follow Munroe's example in disagreeing with Mitchell on this matter, then they will be castigated as anti-PLP, homophobic and ignorant. If, on the other hand, they embrace Mitchell's position, then they will be considered heretics by the church.
