Minnesota city council has voted unanimously to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance

Members of the city council for a Minneapolis suburb have voted to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before council meetings, citing an effort to “create a more welcoming environment.” CBS Minnesota reports the St. Louis Park city council voted unanimously to make the change that will take effect on July 15.
By WBNS-10TV, June 27, 2019:

“In order to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community, we are going to forgo saying the Pledge of Allegiance before every meeting,” said Council Member Tim Brausen. At the meeting, Brausen said members might recite it in the future if there’s an appropriate opportunity, like if Boy Scouts are there.

David Gohman has made his home in St. Louis Park for nearly 30 years. The American flags that adorn his garden aren’t just decorations.

“It represents a lot to this country. Freedom,” Gohman said. He lives on Flag Avenue and holds traditions like the Pledge of Allegiance close to his heart. “I think it should be said every time, whether it is in school or meetings or whatever,” he said. “We owe it to the country.”

Some council members in his city don’t feel the same way. Five members voted during the June 17 meeting to drop the pledge from their meetings.

Ellen Hertz, a business owner in the city, says she has no problem with the change, but doesn’t think it was necessary.

“In terms of what would offend people and what offends me, that’s not at the top of the list,” Hertz said.

Mayor Jake Spano wasn’t at the meeting when this change was approved. He says getting rid of the pledge wasn’t a big priority for him.

Spano told CBS Minnesota via email: “I think there are more substantive things we should be working on to make our city more open and welcoming.”

Trump may have one more term or not, but if he can’t do much of anything to stop it, who can – who will ; there is no one else on the horizon and the environment for such needed radical thinking and action is getting only worse.

The handwriting is on the wall – either they are not only stopped and all here deported, or the end of America is inevitable, and there is not only no current mechanism to accomplish this, there is nothing even remotely close.

They obviously have a beachhead in MN. and they have set the means to subvert our culture through all of the instruments capable of doing so (schools, local councils, high office, media propaganda campaigns). Their spread is already in the works, and their “acceptance” is growing, but even by population numbers alone, they will win. Europe and the UK can no longer hope, and Canada and Australia are on the verge of joining them.

Time is clearly against us, and because of the West’s apostasy, I believe God’s judgement is no longer “coming”, it has already begun and there is plenty of evidence to support this. Trying to defeat the secular forces that are undermining the West, has become near impossible due to their brilliant use of every subversion tactic going, all while we essentially slept, but to even consider victory without God’s help …? There is only one way to get ready for what’s coming.

To recite the pledge is calming and determines the greatness of the USA. President Trump looks very handsome with his neat haircut and suit and tie. Isn’t it neat that he is sitting next to Putin?

“Spano told CBS Minnesota via email: “I think there are more substantive
things we should be working on to make our city more open and
welcoming.” ‘You fools. You stupid, fools.’ They think it’s no big deal. The pledge of allegiance has only been around for decades in America’s schools. Removing it may seem trivial but, what’s next, removing the flag from American schools, because they want to create a more “welcoming environment?” Trump should IMMEDIATELY, cut off any and all federal funding to any public schools that remove the pledge of allegiance, the flag, or any other similar treasonous act. They are cancerous.

These people who support this repugnant ideology, pray to a mass murdering, slave trading, rapist paedophile, warlord, that’s there moral standing. And these lemmings that sell us out appear to have no problem with that.
The question is what do we do about it???

I believe that Ilhan Omer had no right to stop the people to reciting the Pledge of allegiance. She needs to go back to her country where she would have no rights as a women. She is a disgrace to America. God bring her down to her knees. Some day sooner than she thinks she will meet up with the Lord.

These are the type of Liberal idiots who ,by rejecting the pledge, are rejecting America and it’s principles. They are, actually , acquiescing to Sharia Law . They are the cowards who would allow the takeover of America inch by inch. They are subversive and traitors to the Constitution and the ideals which created our great Nation. Our Republic is gone if some of us don’t take the grave step to oppose these people. Look at the Democrat debates. No American Flags or Flag pins on the participants. All of the Democrat emphasis is on illegals and their welfare ,not the general welfare of our fellow Americans. Stopping the pledge to “accommodate” is cowardly surrender. Go to the Middle East and stay there.

What is wrong with these people? I guess they’ve become so comfortable with the rights and freedoms the symbolism of that flag gives them, they don’t have the intelligence to realize there’s a reason we say the pledge.. They obviously have no idea what is behind the pledge. And they don’t understand what E Pluribus Unum means..
.
If some people are not comfortable with that pledge, then they don’t belong in this country..

These people have no common sense, no critical thinking skills. Everything is done because of “feelings’!

They have the nerve to take part in a typical American type of governing body and yet, they feel no obligation to show thanks, or pledge to uphold that right?

People in this country have gotten more stupid.

Barack Obama is a muslim. He also is a fraud,traitor,usurper and spy. He worked very hard to infiltrate our nation with Islamic operatives. You may not know that Obama was once nominated to be “Muslim grand caliph” by Ayatollah Durani of Pakistan. Obama is still working to undermine the USA and to assist Muslims to take over America for allah. This is Islam’s prime directive. http://www.thepostemail.com/09/17/2010/there-is-no-president-obama
