Selectmen Melissa Melissa fright tags decision to exclude the pro pledge of allegiance for Monday's meeting took some selectmen residence by surprised. I'm a little bit shocked that she did that selectmen for an apartment set about fright tags action. For -- filled -- is chairwoman at the meeting because selectmen Mary pat Flynn was unable to attend because of medical reasons. She began the meeting by reading a poll. Up Paul. By a former poet -- Which we knew the name poet. When she started going into the first agenda items selectmen Kevin Murphy. Remind if price tag that the board recites the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of each meeting. I'd rather not say the pledge tonight fright tactics said before diving in to a vote to accept donations from Falmouth road race. Rates committee to the Falmouth fire department donation account. Frank -- said third Tuesday that she read the poll met -- request. And she decided to move forward without saying the pledge because the meeting was running late. Price tag also pointed out that the pledge was not persuaded that the selectmen meeting in the first year and a half she served on the board. It was kind of taken aback by it Murphy said on Tuesday. I guess Murphy -- so I guess you could say for use open. Well we're okay summer. The vice chairwoman -- decision struck Putnam is -- -- because for a tag who was elected to a three year term in 2009 was on the board when they agreed to one half years ago. To say the pledge beef at the beginning of each meeting. Once said Tuesday she had not heard about the meeting at the incident and not spoken to fright tag about it. Frank tag who works as a pro wrestler all she's so pro fastener. At the university of Massachusetts department -- world class institution. Announced last month that she will not seek reelection the decision came after she was accepted to a Graham hatch with program at Hofstra University. And we shall be much more at home and Cambridge -- summer when she will be enough that she wasn't found. Now she's unilaterally making this change selectmen Putnam mass Tuesday afternoon. Putnam said -- -- spoke against including a pledge in each meeting when the board discussed the idea a couple of years ago but has not voiced any opposition to -- -- I've heard no objections to what he said. Putnam also wondered whether -- tags decision to forgo the pledge was a legitimate actions since the selectmen it's code of conduct does not stipulate. But the chairman can change policy enacted by the entire board what is she campaigning for the profiles in courage award from -- Caroline Kennedy. She gave wouldn't say the pledge of allegiance. You know it has those dirty words. And there. She's up profiling. Courage and now she's going to college at tufts. -- can become a professor. Have at a better college that you -- -- I'm just furious at Robert people say that your -- were bullish Siva Chopra pronouncing that right who ran against fright tag for the seat she won 2009. She's not in touch with the voters in Thelma at all. Modify not the indication from my via text loses and he is is any sign people pretty angry about this. 1877469432218774694322. She probably lives in Woods Hole it's a haven for moon bats. Ma. Man. I just don't get it at all skip barber in the scandal seventy of Falmouth said. I know we certainly have our challenges in this country but this seems like a step backwards. Why why -- what's the problem here I mean you know you you have a vote your on the selectmen. The selectmen the majority of the selectmen decide that they are going to have to be. Pledge of allegiance before the meeting. The majority prevails. And so then once you take over the the once of the moon bat gets the -- the moon bat just -- disregards the wishes of the majority. How typical is that. Kind of like Eric -- going before the Supreme Court today and arguing that the that the Arizona. Lot of crackdown on illegal aliens was is. Was unconstitutional. Even though the majority of Americans supported 62. To 27%. And it's going to be upheld by the Supreme Court apparently by a fairly wide -- more margin. So now this now this. Lame duck moon bat besides that -- she's gonna make the rules for everybody in the town no no pledge of allegiance I know this is a small thing. This is much only good of the border select minutes in one town but still I mean is it this is this is classic. Liberalism and moon -- -- you know forget the forget the wishes of the majority. They don't count for anything once you get control you just do whatever you wanted you disclaim that and then when you're confronted with that you just make up some. -- -- story about the meeting was running -- how long does it take to say the pledge of allegiance. 18774694322187746943. 22.

I located in god bless America are all these events and not as likely as illiterate fools -- bank they substituted for the star spangled banner. And we don't get too much about that. What is a -- and they substitute god bless America for the star spangled banner -- the fact that it's easier to sing. At the 9/11 I think we have a lot more advanced. They didn't like debate about being an eagle like and I think cap and 9/11 but I'm. Star spangled banner has business star spangled banner have any references to god I don't think it does does that. Not rocket threat plant probably hit that would file that -- means how I and our record and -- interesting bit. Now -- -- and -- like -- should just step up and started saying it and let him try to model men and go from there so pretty pathetic commentary.

The woman can't even say the pledge of allegiance and he's he's great intellect and the flag. You know we I would an act and and the really liberal town and I think eight people -- time thinking about the price in you don't -- Right exactly I think that's what happened down here you know. Mean no I expect I mean did -- to do what they've been doing the pledge of allegiance for their for a year year and a half two years. And all of a sudden this ward the of the select woman is that the chairman is a six were one night doesn't have the gavel. And this happens you know you just get caught off guard. Yet you know when your great story they -- there -- -- -- pop Warner football in this town in the old guard spot in world war two and when his grandsons were you know seniors in high -- twin boys. Planning on it even excellent players. They went to Newton North High School play Newton north. And the Newton North High School but other band can show up into the National Anthem that I'd been up and started thinking and that it everybody all the audience. Well you know I would get up and apoplectic when my -- defending this country should put -- -- your problem you know go out. The bill I am I show up the band didn't show up that and that is what a lame excuse. Apps but but mr. -- to step up and you know he Begin the National Anthem myself. Forget about permanent art art World War II. Thanks for the call Beth thanks for your son's service 18774694322. Final burst of star spangled banner and this be our motto in god as our trust. That's and that's a little later verse below is -- at rhubarb. The violence an image of war is the reason moon bats -- for god bless America to the National Anthem. Yet in the fourth state it's in the fourth stanza. Is in in despair motto when god has our trust. Yes so okay so it's it's so it's a ways down there 1877. And force 694322. On our car. But the majority rules you know. Mean a majority of the selectmen voted to have the pledge of allegiance. And before the meetings and this woman doesn't care about it she gets the gavel and that's you know it's like they like to -- on the court and I want to have any votes they don't want them -- god forbid them at the people should actually get the vote on anything. When your next with how we cargo ahead land. I how I wanted to talk about the -- pledge of allegiance -- It's -- even deeper than that there is a movement in this country to eliminate god from the days of the year. And that's really dangerous it's time for Christians to the end nothing in night as saying now this is not gonna happen. And it's something that's even more serious going on and I think everybody needs to know about it. And it's called agenda 21. We're out of time when I'm sorry we'll. In June the 21 who was somehow we.
