OUTRAGEOUS: Sacramento Councilwoman and Congressional Candidate Mai Vang Turns Her Back on the American Flag, Rejects Pledge of Allegiance in Disgraceful Anti-American Display

So the city council of Sacramento consists 5 women, one black guy and one white guy.

No wonder it’s a mess.

Nice sentiment, afraid it was lost when the Indonesian Usurper took the oath with his hand on the Moslem battle plan, ie; Koran.
We have settled so low, I’m not sure we’ll ever get it back.
