Re: The Tawdry Rejoinders of NDC–USA

It was Socrates the Athenian who said, “I am the wisest man alive, for I

know one thing, and that is that I know nothing” to wit, Socrates always

acknowledged his imperfect knowledge and would always expose the ignorance of

persons who claimed perfection or wisdom with his questioning and exposing

the contradictions in the reasoning of these so called wise men. Mr.

Appiah Stonash, if NDC USA’s write-ups are so tawdry, ineffective and illogical

as you claim, what does it say about you and NPP USA that you will write a

two paged article about such tawdry rejoinders?

Does your flagrant use of insulting language not expose you and your

organization’s frustrations? Although you try to attack NDC policies,

achievements and positions with your articles, your party is usually the loser in the

exchange because NDC USA’s rejoinders have been effective in exposing the

weaknesses of NPP positions? If NPP USA has been so effective in espousing

the positions of NPP through its numerous articles, why are you whining

about NDC USA’s “tawdry” rejoinders? The only rational reason for your above

named article is simply that your writings have been unable to achieve

their objectives. We of the NDC USA are indeed content with the work that we

have done regarding press releases on behalf of the great NDC.

As you have stated the NDC USA has a right to respond to articles which we

believe affect our interests, the NDC USA is at a loss as to why this

should even be an issue. We are cognizant of the reality that millions worldwide

gain their information about a variety of issues from the internet, since

NDC is the governing party it is understandable that articles from

organizations such as NPP USA although injurious and malignant to party’s cause may

go without any response from Ghana. NDC USA simply tries its best to

respond on behalf of the party. Whether NPP USA classifies our writings as

tawdry or excellent is really immaterial to us. We shall continue to state the

weaknesses of NPP’s positions and why in our view NDC policies are better.

The readership in Ghana and the worldwide can judge for themselves.

Speaking of tawdry write ups did you count how many errors were in your “

perfect” article? Do you proofread your articles, Mr. Perfection? When you

live in a glass house don’t for heaven’s sake throw stones! Whether NDC USA

writes original articles or simply responds to NPP organizations such as

NPP UK OR NPP USA is irrelevant, we faithfully espouse NDC positions that’s

all. Given that these NPP organizations usually outline the positions of

NPP we joyously welcome their writings.

The most insulting part of NPP USA’s write up was this notion it put out

that writers of NDC USA were writing as a result of some monetary reward or

some hope of political reward. Really? This may be a rationale behind NPP

USA’s writings but this is not NDC USA’s motive for writing. Our members are

usually Ghanaians from all walks of life who are currently domiciled in

the USA, who dearly love NDC and Ghana hence our continued activism even

though we may be 1000s of miles away from Ghana. We support NDC because it is

the best Ghanaian political party, it has produced people centered leaders

like President Mahama, the late President Mills and President Jerry Rawlings

and what is there not to love about the people centered policies such as

are contained in the Agenda for A Better Ghana.

As for the ‘greatness’ of Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo the least said about

it the better, he may belong to the pantheon of greatest Ghanaian leaders in

your eyes but we remember him for tickling a makeup artist in a GBC TV

studio room and been unable to own up to his rather boyish pranks when the

video of the event was reproduced in a documentary and later on the internet.

We remember him as one of the few of Ghana’s political leaders who preached “

All die be die” to his followers and had to be queried about why he was

promoting violence as a solution to challenges which are inherent in every

electoral process by an international media house.

The NDCUSA remains committed to working for the cause of the NDC and

Ghana, NPP USA can keep their articles coming we have a right to respond and

Amponsah Stonash and others’ tears will not stop us.

Signed

Osborne K Sam

NDC USA Secretary
