This Minnesota Town Just Scrapped The Pledge Of Allegiance.

The cancer of political correctness has reared its ugly head once again. This time the plague struck a Minnesota town, where the local council voted unanimously to drop the pledge of allegiance to be more inclusive. St. Louis Park wants to be more welcoming to newcomers and non-citizens and they decided the best way to do that was to trash a hallmark tradition. To be more welcoming to non-citizens, Americans just need to…not act like Americans. It’s this nonsense that gives me hope, along with the booming economy, that Trump will easily clinch a second term. It’s also partially why he won in 2016. This is silly season. Liberal America is perpetually in silly season and just cannot get out of its own way. Who in the hell thought this was a good idea? Everyone on this council deserves to be dealt with the old fashioned way by means of tarring and feathering. Okay—that’s a bit much, but you get my point. It’s once again another event where you see how the Left hates America. This council of five is now the St. Louis Park Director of Idiots (via KIMT3 News):

The city council in St. Louis Park, Minn. voted 5-0 last month to drop the Pledge of Allegiance from their meetings, in an effort to be more inclusive to new residents and non-citizens.

[…]

St. Louis Park is about 90 miles from Rochester. However, in the land of the free and home of the brave, it’s a story many people have strong opinions about.

[…]

They’re words intended to remind us of who we are and committed to memory for generations.

“It's something that we used to do in school like every morning before first period started,” Larisa Garcia, of Rochester, said, “whether it was elementary, middle school.”

You might take them for granted unless you weren’t permitted to say them anymore.

“I don't know why it would be removed,” Scott Ramey, of Faribault, said. “It'd be like cutting our flag poles down.”

Uproar at Monday night’s city council meeting in St. Louis Park caused the council to rethink.

Yes, they should. And reverse this decision as quickly as possible. St. Louis Park is located in Minnesota’s 5thcongressional directs represented by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who is one of the most ungrateful refugees this country has ever taken in, spreading anti-Semitic trash on the Hill and pretty much rooting against our troops while discussing the Mogadishu raid famously captured in the book and film Black Hawk Down. She also refused to condemn the terrorist who committed the 9/11 attacks, trivializing the event as one where “some people did something.” Yeah, I’m just shocked liberals peddling trash proposals are running rampant in Omar’s district. The uproar has caused the mayor to suggest reversing Pledge of Allegiance ban, saying it was hastily passed without much consideration. Uh, you think, man (via Fox News):

This is serious denial about how few Americans have been born here in the last 30 years. Growing sections of this country are filled with imported foreigners, and many of them vote - legally.

Don’t think for a nanosecond that isn’t on the left’s agenda.

When was the last time people in MN did something politically right, other than electing Michelle Bachmann to the House?

Walk down Roosevelt Avenue in the Queens borough, and you will see this phenomenon first hand.

My first guess. Bingo. The logical conclusion to all of this anti Americanism is war.

They need to throw this bitch out, however everyone in that city council will vote to reelect her in 2020. I just hope the citizen St Louis Park and Hennepin County are smart enough to vote her out.

Brought to you by the same 5th CD(MN) that just voted for Ilhan Omar, on her self-declared mission to bring "the perspective of a foreigner" to US Congress.

How long before they begin their meetings with the Somali national anthem?

The best way to be inclusive and welcoming is to invite newcomers to join your traditions, not to abandon them yourself.
You do not set a good example or show any confidence in your own society if you cave in every time.

minnesota is full of muzzies. They hate the Constitution and this country. The politicians are eager to get their votes and money, and so they are making it very easy for the muzzies to walk in and turn it into a muzzy state.

It must be that “under GOD” phrase that gets them in a tizzy.

Your ‘god’ or OUR God!?!?!?
