City Council Meetings to Begin with Muslim Prayers (Hartford)

Connecticut is a beautiful state run by liberal Democrats firmly in the grip of the public service unions.

The state is well on it's way to financial ruin due to feckless liberal policies and the city of Hartford has been a sty for a long time. High crime rates, low high-school graduation rates and lots of government corruption at all levels. It's a veritable 'ghost town' at night. The middle class was pushed out of Hartford decades ago and the remaining population is generally poor and uneducated with a median income of approximately $28,000. compared to an average family income of $68,000. for the state of Connecticut.

Not surprisingly, the Hartford City Council somewhat reflects the racial 'diversity' of Hartford, which is 70% African-American and Puerto Rican. All but one of the eight Hartford City Council members are members of either the Democrat or Acorn-aligned 'Working Families Party'. In short, a bunch of leftists running a failed city that liberal, socialist policies ruined.

That being the case, few Connecticut citizens care much what happens in Hartford anymore. It was written off a long time ago. Yes, this latest bit of insanity will garner national interest but in the long run, as the national interest inevitably fades, the Hartford City Council will continue to figuratively bow the knee to Islam and in time, reap the inexorable consequences. I can easily see Sharia law being legalized in the Muslim precincts of Hartford. The decline and probable fall of the west is well underway.

I know. I lived in Vernon in 1991 and 1992. The ONLY reason I ever went into Hartford was to go to Whalers games. I worked in Glastonbury, wife worked in Bloomfield.

One thing I always found interesting. When CT needed another area code 15 years ago, Hartford, the state capital, got stuck with the new 860. That certainly says something about the clout of southern CT (where the money is) and the insignificance of Hartford.

Except liberals.

Except liberal lackeys - the hoi polloi, the mindless masses among them. The higher ups who feed the baby birds may get it. ;-)

Is the student again allowed to fly the flags?

From yesterday..........

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/muslim-prayers-to-open-conn-city-council-meetings/
Muslim Prayers to Open Hartford City Council Meetings
“Though the city doesn’t normally begin its council meetings with any sort of prayer, NBC Connecticut reports that the city council has invited local imams to deliver Islamic invocations at the beginning of council meetings during the month of September:”

Then from today..............................

http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local-beat/City-Council-May-Pull-Plug-on-Muslim-Prayers-102465289.html
City Council May Pull Plug on Muslim Prayer Idea
“Although the council does say a prayer before every meeting, Winch says she’s reconsidering the idea of the Muslim prayers so close to the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. She instead said she would consider an interfaith prayer before next Monday’s meeting.”

So yesterday they don’t begin meetings with any prayer..then today they say a prayer before each meeting?

Yes, in fact he never removed them. When the fool security guard told him to remove the flags the boy went to the Principal and that’s where it ended, with the security guard disciplined and the flags remaining on the truck.

Thanks for the update. I’m glad the young man had the courage and initiative to go to the Principal. I’m also glad to hear of a school official who handled the situation with common sense. These days, seems we often read about officials........schools, counties, etc. who operate from a position of ‘political correctness’ vs what’s right or common sense.

One city at a time and they will win, while we set around thinking about doing something.

All over the world, it is going on, one step at a time.
