Julia Lease from Whitehall, OH has been ordered by her leasing company to take her new American flag off her porch because they state it is “making this complex look bad. It’s detracting from the beauty of everything else.”
“I’ve lived here 36 years and I’ve flown a flag every day since and now all of a sudden they want this flag taken down because they say it detracts from the looks of the apartment complex. Well I can’t see how an American flag can detract from anything. After all, this is our country,” states Lease.

the left hates america, and they hate it so much that even the sight of it offends them. the flag that represents freedom, liberty, and the blood of those that died gaining and protecting freedom is offensive to the left. The most dangerous threat to America isn’t ebola, or isis, or radical islam. it is that democrat sittting at the polling booth and the one pulling the lever for the democrat.
Consider moving soon!
Oh my God! What is our country coming to? Unbelievable.
if flying the US Flag is a threat to the Muslim community that they need to leave our country if they don’t like it our soldiers fought for this flag and our freedom and if these people don’t like it they must be Anti-American so leave! We are proud Americans and we stand behind it!
The complex sucks who are they afraid of if they don’t like America they can always leave.
Leading company must be owned by Muslims!
If you don’t like our country…GET OUT!!!
You can take my flag when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
You know what, not even then.
She should take them to court on charges of anti american activities !!!!!!
