87 Year Old Gets Standing Ovation After Slamming FlagOver the past few years, weve seen a shocking trend: Americans are being shamed and punished for publicly displaying the American flag. What has always been a symbol of freedom and the values of our country is now being painted as a threat. According to recent reports, 87-year-old Julia Lease of Whitehall Ohio is the latest American to face consequences for hanging the flag from her porch. The New life Multi-Family Management Company reached out to Ms. Lease and told her not to fly Old Glory. Luckily, she was not willing to back down without a fight. I told them that I was a deputy sheriff for 25 years, and that even though we werent military, we had allegiance to the United States flag just like everyone in this country should, Lease told reporters. And I told them we have to all honor the flag and everything is stands for. Lease also showed her support for a bill making it illegal for landlords and homeowners associations to demand that tenants take down the American flag. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Anne Gonzales and Rep. Timothy E. Ginter, in hopes that nobody else be victim to such demands. Its a crying shame that this country has digressed to the point where you have to have permission to fly the American flag, Lease told reporters. What do you think? Do you agree with Lease?
