It has become increasingly apparent that there are some on the left who are not particularly patriotic and have little or no patience for displays of respect to the country and the flag that represents it.

That was just proven in a local board of elections meeting in Bladen County, North Carolina, on Tuesday when three Democratic members of the board voted down a proposal to add the Pledge of Allegiance to the agenda.

The vote prompted an audience-member-led recitation — and the Democratic chairwoman threatened to call the police if anyone did the same at the next meeting, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

A few moments after that vote, the floor was opened up for attendees to address the board with any questions, and several people spoke out in opposition to the decision to not recite the pledge prior to the start of board meetings, as is done with an opening invocation.

One person who spoke up in favor of the pledge actually proceeded to recite it, and he was joined by the vast majority of those in attendance, as well as the two Republican board members.

The three Democratic members remained seated.

Thompson called for a short recess following the recitation of the pledge and then later, after the board had reconvened, the meeting went on as usual.

However, at the tail end of the meeting, just before it was adjourned, Thompson raised the issue of the earlier “disruption” regarding the pledge.

“The next meeting, if that happens again, law enforcement will be called because it is against the law to disrupt a meeting that is going on, and that is what happened today with the reciting of the pledge,” she said.
