Bay Area Houston

Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy…..but….

The Harris County Democratic Convention Committee decided to invite, and pay for his travel and appearance, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to speak at our County convention in March. So why is this controversial? Well, glad you fuckin asked.

Ellison is the only elected official to endorse Pervez Agwan, the Socialist candidate running against the Democrat Congresswoman, Lizzie Fletcher, in the Democratic Primary. Ellison joins a couple of unknown extreme far left organizations and the author of Lone Star Left in endorsing Agwan even after the Houston Landing reported on a sexual harassment suit against him. (It’s along, disturbing article)

This week Agwan’s supporters disrupted the Meyerland Democrats club meeting where Congresswoman Fletcher was to speak. Art Pronin, the long time President of the very prestigious club, wrote an op-ed in the Houston Chronicle detailing the incident. It is worth a read. If you aren’t going to take the time to read it at least read this:

I was told — and yes, I’m Jewish — that I am “owned by AIPAC” (American Israel Public Affairs). One of our members was asked if she were a Jew. Law enforcement hauled out protestors one by one as they disrupted. Each time I resumed the meeting, another wave would pop up, running around with their phones, filming what they were doing to us. 

Once all were escorted out, they began pounding at the entrance doors. 

For 30 minutes, they pounded and screamed. I thought the glass panels would break. 

This is the group Ellison is going to come and pacify. At a time when cool heads need to prevail concerning the powder keg in Israel, and when the party has to be united to defeat the white supremacist Donald Trump, HCDP invites a divisive extreme far lefty from outside the State, the County, the City to further divide us. We have plenty of elected officials right here in Houston that could bring unity to the party including Hidalgo, Menefee, Hollins and others. Yes, we all agree:

• Hamas is a terrorist organization
• Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas but NOT the Palestinians
• A two State solution is the only solution to end the continued violence
• Netanyahu eventually has to go for peace to actually be achieve

We can all agree on those points, but causing a disruption at the Club/County/State/Federal Convention is NOT the way to move forward. Fucking progressives think that all you need to do is yell and scream and let everyone else do the heavy lifting. You are suppose to make fuckin progress! In response to this obvious stupidity the Committee Chair, Sarah Syed, admitted to the Chair of the Party:

The CD Chairs met last night again and we had a conversation with a 100% vote to continue with Keith Ellison as the keynote speaker for the convention with the intention that we would have increased security and an emergency plan.

The Committee did this purposely. It reminds me of 2016. How in the fuck did that turn out for you? For us?
