Who told Pres. Carter not to speak at Convention?
On the second night of the Democratic Convention, Pres. Carter and his wife Roselyn simply came out on stage, wavered to the audience and disappeared. I did not think anything about it at the time but the third night and after Ex. Pres. Clinton spoke, it was my understanding that ex presidents usually speak at the nomination conventions.
Specifically, the moderator informed us Pres. Carter was not allowed to speak due to a book he wrote critical of Israel. By denying Pres. Carter to speak, I was denied a part of my history. A part of United States history. I do not think Neo-cons have that right. Neo-cons do what ever they want to do in Israel and we do not tell them what to do but to have them altering and modifying our history here in the U.S. is something I do not like. Neo-cons should run Israel and let us run America and not try to run two countries at the same time. I am not happy about that arrangement and wonder how it happened.
I note on Wednesday three individuals at the podium espousing our U.S. commitment to Israel; Ms. Wasserman-Schultz, Rep. R. Wexler and Sen. Bayh. In my opinion, Israel also has some obligations to us Americans. No one ever talks about it but they do. For one thing, they have the obligation to let us deal with our own internal affairs. Duel citizenship with Israel greatly diminishes that honor. For another thing Israel has the obligation to help keep us out of harm’s way and not deliberately create problems for us. Lastly and the thrust of this post, Israel has the obligation to support the freedom of speech out country was built upon.
A speech by Pres. Carter was mandated by tradition, a part of the historical recordings of the event and I am pissed I was denied the opportunity to participate due to the fact “someone” felt it inappropriate for Pres. Carter to speak. I too have a dream for America and unfortunately it does not include the continued Neo-con obstructions of our history. The un-questioned and rigid surrogate role. The banning of free speech. BOO!
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
