St. Louis Park, Minnesota, city council has decided to remove the pledge of allegiance from their meetings. Your thoughts? More info below:

The city council member, Anne Mavity, who proposed the idea says that not everyone who has business with the city council is a citizen. She says, “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.”

But aren't the city council members part of government? Aren't they part of our country? Don't the city council members owe allegiance to their flag and their country?

Do we have to alter our allegiance to our own country because of foreigners who might live here?

Again, I chime in: Some say the pledge is good, where others disagree. Here in America we can agree to disagree, but if you are a non citizen, I'd say you should be respectful of the pledge because OBVIOUSLY you are here to become a CITIZEN, and reap the benefits of being one. But if that is not your view or case as a NON CITIZEN, what the hell are you doing here?

@soar2newhighs Not everyone here is here to become a citizen, don't be pushing your fascism on everyone.

@soar2newhighs Sorry about that response, above. When the name calling starts, I have to block the responder.

If they're not here to be a citizen, but say on some type of Visa program, let them do their thing and return to their native land. And as for Oregon (If that's where you're from), we've seen how well Portland deals with things. ANTIFA and the journalist...talk about fascism...give me a break!@NativeOregonian

@4meAndyou I just replied to him.

@soar2newhighs I can see you, just can't see him. You don't call people names like fascist, as he did to you, on my posts without climbing onto the sh!t list.

I reminded him, by asking if he were a native of Oregon, how I viewed the recent ANTIFA journalist assault. Even Joe Biden decried that. Yes, I cede, some non citizens are here for non residency or wanting to be an American citizen; albeit, then when your visa expires, return to your homeland. You have issues in the country you came to where that country's people in Gov't opt to say the pledge of allegiance, and it doesn't sit well with them...then leave the meeting. You want a piece of the "pie", you best contribute to making it"!@4meAndyou

@soar2newhighs Anti-fa are domestic terrorists. But American politicians who get down on their knees to kiss the rear ends of foreigners, ignoring their own people and selling their own country down the river, need to re-think their motivations, because they won't rise to power by pooping on the flag.
