This is totally unacceptable…
A city located in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) 5th Congressional District voted this month to eliminate saying the Pledge of Allegiance during city council meetings because it doesn’t want to offend people.
CBS Minnesota reports that members of the St. Louis Park City Council voted unanimously in a 5 to 0 vote to ditch saying the Pledge of Allegiance “in order to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community.”
City Council member Anne Mavity sponsored the change, saying that the Pledge of Allegiance did not reflect the city’s values, according to KARE 11.
“Not everyone who does business with the city or has a conversation is a citizen,” Mavity said. “They certainly don’t need to come into city council chambers and pledge their allegiance to our country in order to tell us what their input is about a sidewalk in front of their home.”
City Council member Tim Brausen said: “I hope it’s not too controversial. Our community tends to be a very welcoming and increasingly diverse community, and we believe our citizens will understand.”
The move sparked instant criticism from Minnesota Senate Republicans who tweeted: “SHOCKING: Democrats on the St. Louis Park, MN City Council voted unanimously to eliminate the pledge of allegiance at their meetings.”

Conservative talk show host Joe Pagliarulo tweeted: “Anti-American much? St Louis Park should no longer be allowed to claim it’s in the United States of America.”
Residents in the area told CBS Minnesota that the Pledge of Allegiance should not be removed from the meetings.
“I think it should be said every time, whether it is in school or meetings or whatever,” David Gohman told CBS Minnesota. “We owe it to the country.”
Earlier this year, Fox News reported that, according to FBI statistics, Omar’s district is the terrorist recruitment capitol of the United States.
Fox News reported that “more men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have — or attempted to join — a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.”

Diverse community spirit, my ass!!!! This is about pandering to those groups of non-assimilating individuals who have no problem taking American money, but still want us to accept their archaic tribal/cult laws.
right gary
And hate us and want to kill us.
Absolutely right! They do not have to say the pledge if they don’t want to anyway. i can’t believe Americans are allowing outsiders to influence OUR pledge to OUR flag in OUR country. I hope I don’t have to depend on any of them to defend our country!!!! Lilly livers
I agree 100%
Round up the wanna be terrorists and ship them all back to their sandbox!
Cowards need immediate removal. MIGHT NOT BE A CITIZEN? DON’T WANT TO OFFEND A NON-CITIZEN, BUT WILLING TO OFFEND A LOT OF AMERICANS?
If you do not want to have the pledge–get out of my country.. Your action is the same as what happened in Cuba and in SOUTH AMERICA COUNTRY. i DID NOT FIGHT THOSE COMMIE PIGS IN KOREA AND IN VIET NAM–AND NUMEROUS OTHER COMMIE COUNTRIES. STOP
They just moved over here and called themselves democrats!
Recall every member of that council, and replace with TRUE AMERICANS!
This is Totally UN-American. Its a slap in the face to all American Military personnel, American allies and veterans that have put their live’s on the line for this great country and not to mention all the patriot citizens of this great country. If people are offended by the pledge of allegiance, I suggest they go to another country where they don’t have one. Remember Freedom is not Free!!!
Right, I can see that happening. We don’t want any body getting mad at us. I’ve gotten to the point where I am fed up with this country and I am A short time away from leaving it! It’s not the same country I helped to defend for 22 years of my life.
That city is full of idiots. Bending over too kiss her muslim backside .. Before long the city will be ruled by Sharia laws , not American laws and regulations .
People better vote her and her a** kissers out of city and local government .
This is so distorted. The Pledge of Allegiance is for American Leaders. The Pledge is for the members to open their meetings. No one in attendance is required to say the Pledge. If someone is a council person, they should be a citizen, and should not fear the Pledge. Even school children repeat the Pledge, and those who do not, at least stand to show their respect for the country and its leaders. No one who does business with the USA or hopes to do business, should fear our customs.
Dont have allegiance to the U.S.?
That’s fine… But then get the hell out of here!

Don’t count on any veterans organizations when you need them. What a slap in the face of freedom!
This is absolutely unacceptable! “Residents in the area told CBS Minnesota that the Pledge of Allegiance should not be removed from the meetings.” This Muslim woman must be removed from office! She is NOT representing the wishes of her voting public!!
What is happening in My beloved country? Why are people so insane? Why dont they revoke this marxist’ss citizenship aand deport her? Hoiw long must we sit idly by and let the LEFT destroy, yes, DESTRO[Y our country just because of these scum?????
DO NOT ERASE MY COMMENT!!!!!
Should also check to make sure that they are not receiving government subsidizes then send in ice and fbi!
Truth
I agree 100%!!!
A comment I read said they are not citizens and should not have to pledge. Well if they are not citizens they have no right to even be at a council meeting to vote on issues. They are here in America by choice so obey our laws as we are bound by theirs if we go to their country. If they cant then get the “eff” out.
Can this possibly be legal? This is the USA not BFE !!!! Acclimate to being 100% AMerican or get the hell OUT……………FUMING in Texas !!!! I KNOW I am not the only one? ……………….beginning to wonder things are out of hand and we just stand and watch it happen, let it slide on thru……………when are we going to object, picket, yell, and DEMAND OUR rights ? MINN ! you used to be a place that was admired and now you let this anti America , foreigner come in and run your state ? What happened to our folks from Minn. would would fight well over things not right ? Surely you natural born folks from MINN. still outnumber these demanding, pushy, and ill advised renegades run your state?
I concur!
Must be a bunch of socialist Democrats !!
If they don’t like America they should leave !!!!
That city Council is more than likely Democrats and all they are doing is supporting Muslims
4 out of 7 muslim democrats enacted sharia law in Dearborn, Michigan. They brought their country into the USA? See how nicely muslims integrate with American values & traditions? Can you imagine no more “Merry Christmas”, but ‘Unmerry Mohammadmas’????
Yup, they support Muslims and Commies.
Republicans, Independents, even Democrats, should all remember what the City Council did and remove each one on that Council when their time is up. Seems to me that City Council rather Offend Americans than legal/non legal Immigrants. I had included Democrats because not every Democrat has gone over to the Left, to the Progressives.
these unamericans should be taken out and get out of america to take the pledge out is so unamerican that should never happen to any goverment office . this crap has got to go because this is america not the other goverments in this world. u dont like our rules and laws get back to ur backward lives and get the heck out of america we dont need or want ur crap
WTF????? OVER!!!!! I gave 24 yrs of my life to serve and protect Americans against PEOPLe just like these MORONS!!! Why are these IDIOTS still allowed to be in America!!! If they HATE America so bad then why dont they leave and go back to where they all came from???
What a bunch of anti-American ass-holes. Hopefully they won’t survive the next elections and will get voted out of office. And if not… maybe the entire city council can be packed up and relocated to Syria or some other Muslim country where they truly belong.
This should not be allowed and unbelievably hypocritical as the city takes state and federal money and is protected by state and federal service men if need be. Stop all funding of any type until this is reversed and replace those 5 anti Americans.
this is ABSOLUTE and UTTER nonsense!! Every person on the council should be deported IMMEDIATELY. OFFEND people? You mean MUSLIMS! this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If you are FORTUNATE enough to live here, you EMBRACE our country!!
HOW does the Pledge offend ANY American????????? If the Muslims don’t like it GO BACK TO YOUR Muslimland. IMMEDIATELY We, United States of America Citizens, hold the Pledge as being dear to our heart. Many people have died so we could have a free country and the Pledge represents that.
Amen,no one is forcing them not wants them to stay
Stop appeasing the Muslims.. They are ebil to women and children and especially the children..
If they want to change things, they need to do this in a Muslim Country..They really are the nastiest
of all people … Why would USA government permit Islam Muslims and Communists in our
government ? it was against the law at one time..
The time is approaching when we Will Have to Fight just to survive. These “Non- Offenders” are giving away the country one piece at a time!!
That’s a bunch of bulls$#t! Someone better do something with that terrorist implant before a loyal patriot has to put him/her in harms way!
This crap of catering to non citizens is out of hand. They are in our Country we should be saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Do you think their Country would stop quoting the Koran if there were Americans living their not that anyone in their right mind would go to these terrorist Countries.The citizens in this district should go and protest until they start saying the Pledge of Allegiance again.
This isn’t about creating a more congenial or accommodating atmosphere ..NO!..this is about spineless, anti-American, city council members, who are clearly denying their allegiance to America and catering to politikol pressures exerted by transplanted Muslim population, in the region. This is a clear afront to the majority of the people of the state of Minnesota and ALL states of the union of States, of America [.] This is a glaring example of how Islamics operate, in countries & communities they transmigrate to. The nation of Islam does not recognize any other form of governance but their own ideology, regardless of what nation IS hosting them. State of Minnesota should be shocked & ashamed of what transpiring in St.Louis Park, MN.

They don’t want to offend anyone? It’s offensive just to read what excuse you’re using for not saying the Pledge.
If there are people that are offended by saying the pledge then they need to get there belongings together and get there ass out of the United States. We don’t need jerks like this living here.
L
what people dont understand is that is just one more thing that is important but to most people it is a small item but small items like this are popping up all over the US its the thing that Obama started in his agenda to destroy America from within and the Black Muslim Community is upset at him for not achieving more destruction The Muslim Terrorist are going to try and take over this country in the classrooms, in the political arena jam their religion down every ones throat
people read the Koran and you will soon see their sick plan and the Liberal blind sided Dems are the ones that will be shocked the most to realize how stupid they were while the rest of us saw it coming
so moral of the story is get out and vote them all out of office and like i have said in the past Leave AOS and her two terrorist friends alone they as a group have done more to destroy the Domocratic party with their big mouths than any of us could have ever done
First, vote all the clowns out. Second, elect people who are rational and will work for all the people of the community and not invoke feel good, idiotic measures. Support both the Federal and State Constitution. Remove all Federal and State funding and grants that this municipality receives. Make them tax their citizens for all service and not receive funding from outside sources. Lastly, vote with your pocketbook. Don’t purchase and item from any store located in the geographic environs of this municipality. Financially support only those commercial operations that support the US and State Constitutions. Support Americans can small business owners.
Time for a physical revolt
I am thoroughly offended. Why, when this is my country are you offending ME? I am and will be tolerant of your thoughts, religions and beliefs why can’t you return the graciousness this country has given you. This city council should be utterly ashamed of themselves. My wish is that at least one of you realizes the fissure that you are causing in this country and do something to bring back the Pledge to this community. You seem to me to be too cowardly to stand up for your own country.
We will be taken over by a foreign nation and they will never fire a shot, because we are handing the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, over to the foreign non-citizens and kissing their butts, letting them dictate to the U.S. Citizens what they want and little by little these cities and states are catering to their wants and to hell with our rights and wants. Wake up you dumb morons and stop handing them the key to the city and states. They have no respect for our country and are doing their best to make our country, just like the country they left in order to seek more freedom. They can either follow our culture or pack up and go back where they came from. If their country was so great, why in the hell did you come here? From what I see, it is to take over and rule our country. The very reason they have nothing but turmoil in their country.
“THE ENTIRE CITY AND IT’S SCUM INHABITANTS MUST BE EXTERMINATED …NOW!!!”
“THE ENTIRE CITY AND IT’S SCUM INHABITANTS MUST BE EXTERMINATED …NOW!!!”
Ann…are you and the Council serious?????? Do you really mean to take these drastic measures and remove the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America and Her flag from a City Council meeting simply because a non-citizen came to the council meeting to bring the council up to speed on the condition of the sidewalk in front of their home? If the non citizen was so imposed upon by Council’s Agenda, he/she could have written the council a letter and not been in that position.
You, my dear woman, and the City council do not have the right to take away our (the citizens of USA) right to say the pledge of Allegiance any time, or any where. You are not a private organization. You might want to remember those folks bringing you up to date on the sidewalk issue are not the ones putting any dollars into the coffers of the City Council. Any payment you receive is paid for by US Tax payers.
Also, if I understand Ann Mavity’s ,comment correctly, “that the Pledge of Allegiance did not reflect the city’s values”. I am wondering what she thinks she is talking about and whose values it does reflect? Pledging Allegiance to our flag and country by our citizens is an honor and reminder of many Americans, Citizen or not, that fought for America and her flag. Many giving their lives to protect this both. As I recall, with the council’s permission, folks can attend council’s meetings, without being members of the council and cannot vote. So where is the problem?
As a former Twin City, and life long Minnesota resident, (78 yrs) I am most distressed that Minnesota’s council members, county, and State leaders are violating the rights of Minnesota’ long established citizenry instead of kindly expressing to the new comers, that these are the views and rules we hold dear and will continue to do so.
Perhaps You and the rest of the St. Louis Park City Council would like to re-think and remedy this situation ASAP!!!!!
HEARS ONE FOR THE MODERATORS OF THIS SITE, “GO FUCK YOURSELF!!” PRESERVE FREEDOM MY ASS AS YOU “VIOLATE ” MY 1st AMENDMENT RIGHT!! FUCK YOU!!
Fuck Off is a Swear Word and Our Filters will block and Mark you as SPAM.
If they are receiving any federal funds they should be stop! See how they would like that!
where in hell are the patriots in this community, take up you’re arms and defend our country
Eradicate all muslims from this country and send the bodies back to where they came from
I’m sorry folks, I have never been, am not now, nor will ever be publicly correct, that isn’t my way, I don’t care if you like what I say or not, and I could care less if you even like me or not, I’m a former United States Infantry Marine, my family landed her in 1620 on the Mayflower, and we have always defended our great country with our very lives, some of my family lost their lives in defense of our country. Next, if these Cocksucking Homosexual Perverts, the LGBT perverse Child Molester’s, don’t like this country and don’t like God they can kiss my rosy red asshole and go straight to Hell. If they’d like a hand getting they I’d be very glad to help them out with a one-way ticket straight to Hell. If anyone doesn’t love this country then need to leave before the civil war comes, because men like me have had more then enough of these stinking bastard DemonRAT son-of-bastards, the time is at hand to drive these sissified girlymen out of here back to Africa or where ever they want to go, because if they stay here much longer their gonna end up dead, planted 6′ under, just like they would in any other country who hates homosexuals LGBT punks. I’ve said my piece I’m done with this, and I hope those who are homosexually inclined get out of my country while they still can! Time is up – tic/tock.
I for one am Very Willing to say Thank You for your Views on this Retarded Muslim Focused Bullshit!! If You Cannot Back Your Own Country….. Then You are Obviously in the WRONG COUNTRY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORT HER AND HER PEOPLE WHO ARE TRUE AMERICANS!!!
EVERYONE ELSE WHO DOESN’T STAND FOR AMERICA CAN FUCKING LEAVE!!!!!!!
Don’t like pledging to the country you live in…THEN GET THE HELL OUT
Wherever Muslims have emigrated to, they cause problems because of their religion and political systems being combined, and because, under the Qumran they are not allowed to swear allegiance to any other entity. It is also true that the Qumran makes allowance for Muslims to skip prayers, lie, steal, or anything else so long as the reason is to advance the religion. This would allow someone like Obama to skip prayers throughout the day in order to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. (Of course, we know that he is an American born in Hawaii. Don’t we?)
Other countries around the world are taking another look at their immigration rules regarding Muslims.
What Bud said!
There used to be descendants of Vikings in Minnesota. They said the pledge of allegiance without problems. Stop pandering to these damned foreigners whose stated purpose in coming here is to destroy “THE GREAT SATAN” . That is what they call the United States for those who are not educated yet. Throw them and their floozy out. Since when do people like this nitwit get to be part of the government? Now you all can see why the founding fathers put the 2nd Amendment in place. As more of these treasonous bastards get in office, the government will continue to grow more tyrannical. At some point Americans will get fed up and we will have another civil war. This is not a pleasant prospect and should be a last resort. However, if it becomes necessary; it can and will happen. Not all Americans are sheeeple. There are a lot of veterans who are getting fed up, that is a huge number of military trained men and women. Keep fooling with this country and see what happens.
This trash needs to be deported or jailed! WHO THE F DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? There needs to be so
Lines drawn when it comes to who is eligible for political platforms, if you can’t and or won’t assimilate
to our country, you are not qualified or civilized enough to for American government!
So who’s forcing anyone to say the pledge? Is there some kind of punishment if a person who is not a citizen does not say it? Those who love this country and are US citizens find it an honor to say this pledge. Someone offended…It’s America…deal with it! Don’t like it…deal with it…you aren’t forced to be here. You are more than welcome to leave and go somewhere that doesn’t offend you.
These democrats are going to continue to do damage to everything this country stands for. They are literally tearing apart the basics of our great country. This country was founded on each person’s loyalty and support of our country and our country’s loyalty and support of each person. It’s the meaning of “united”. The problem lies in the fact that these liberals aren’t about loyalty and support, they have been exposed on countless times to be lying, vindictive and arrogant with no moral compass whatsoever in their mission to destroy everything that made this country great. In short, the democratic party has turned into a cancer that needs to be “cured” as soon as possible.
why are these asshole still running the dumb ass muslim city.
communist muslim bastards
If the Pledge Of Allegiance upsets these
IDIOTS in St.Louis Park Mn. I thought that
was part of the U.S.A. but guess I was wrong
ship all of the account SCUM BAGS out of the
U.S.A. and DO NOT EVER LET THEM NO ACCOUNT
SCUMS BACK IN THE U.S.A. and then put a
30ft x 40ft American flag up in the middle of
town and if anyone tries to take down,
TELL THEM THAT IS WHAT OUR MILITARY
PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED FOR AND THEN
SHOOT THEM!!!
I cannot believe that such a thing can actually happen in America – this is my country – many of my uncles and cousins died so that we may continue to say the Pledge – my husband is a Veteran and I resent those people who cannot honor or flag and our continued pledges to our country – I think those that object should probably move to another country – they are obviously not Americans who love this one !!
my god how long are the sheeple in these cities going to stand for this crap
Pansy Liberals in the State Of Minnesota! Plus if you say anything against IIhan Omar you will get banned on Facebook!
Where is the FBI when we need them!!
First of all I am a 100% disabled Vietnam Veteran who loves my Country. So here what I say all you folks who live in this city do. Band together when they have their next meeting. When they start, stand and repeat the Pledge of Allegiance continuously so they get their pay back and restore it. If I lived out there I would be the first to take this action. It’s time we all started to Take Back OUR COUNTRY.
Give these jerks a knife to cut their food…and they will stab you with it.
they offend me because they don’t say Pledge of Allegiance! why have people let muslims take over their city? take back your city! these people are evil! that woman should be stripped of her citizenship & shipped to muslim country & let them deal with her! I think she’d be begging to come back real fast! Lord help us JESUS! America needs JESUS more than ever before!
