“Leading the Pledge of Allegiance to open the rally was Paul Wheeler, an Indiana Tea Party activist flown in from his home in Indianapolis and outfitted in a Revolutionary War costume.

"I just want to remind people to rethink the basic principles and values of the Founding Fathers," he said. "I think this bill would make them turn over in their graves."

Leading the pledge, he welcomed "the mob, the fringe, the gun-toting nuts and fellow right-wing extremists." He paused before the clause that includes "under God" and bellowed "under who?"

"God!" came the reply, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Full Article

Text of my remarks:

Greetings to all Tea Party Patriots of the Twin Cities and meet-up groups, Minnesota Majority, the Citizens Council of Health Care, 912 project members, fellow members of the mob, gun toting citizens, and fellow right wing extremists.

This week a lawsuit was brought into Federal Court claiming One Nation ‘under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional and violated one’s religion. A second part of the suit says the same thing about the ‘In God We Trust’ motto on our currency.

But on Thursday, the 9^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled in favor of the people of the United States of America that the Pledge ‘Under God’ IS Constitutional and does not infringe on religious beliefs. One of the judges wrote: “The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation through the proud recitation of some of the ideals upon which our Republic was founded.”

Join with me as we give our respects to the Republic as One Nation Under God.”

Various news sources have attendance from 1,000 to 4,000. There was an enthusiastic crowd despite the bitter wind, and yes, there were real pitchforks present and a real pig representing the pork in Congressional bills. Click here for more pictures and rally article.
