The politicians in Minnesota are making a mockery of the intelligence of American citizens. Led by America hater, Ilhan Omar, the state has adopted the terrorist flag of the Puntland State of Somalia as the state flag of Minnesota.
Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric that the idiots who made this decision are peddling. They’re trying to sell the public that the flag represents a rough estimation of the shape of the state and that the star is the North Star. However, the similarities between this rendition of the flag and the Somalian flag are not a coincidence.
Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the Western Hemisphere and Ilian Omar, is a radical leftist Muslim, who just happens to be from the Somalia State of Puntland. She has brought more than customs and a bad attitude from her country and now she wants to plant the flag of her terrorist filled African nation on U.S. soil in Minnesota.
This flag controversy started when some leftist snowflakes within the state’s political system took offense to the current state flag. The current flag has what appears to be a white man plowing a field and a native American riding a horse in the background. The scene is surrounded by a wreath of showy lady's slippers, the state flower that has three dates woven into it. 1858, the statehood year; 1819, the year Fort Snelling was established; and 1893, the year the original flag was adopted.
In an interview with The Minneapolis Star-Tribune Luis Fitch, who was the head of a commission to pick a new flag stated:
Well, someone needs to inform Fitch that it didn’t work out that way and that his apparent smug attitude about the next generation being raised with a new flag and that not everyone will be happy frankly sounds needlessly sarcastic.
Fitch led a team of 13 individuals that started out with 2,600 design ideas. That was eventually reduced to six, then in half to three, and finally it was narrowed to one.
Personally, I find it difficult to believe that no political pressure was applied in choosing the colors and design of this flag. It seems highly likely that a more fitting design for the state should have been used.
If there is an opportunity to alter this design, the residents of the state should diligently seek it. Minnesota is a beautiful state, and it deserves better than a political statement representing it.
