A Monday night meeting over a Palestinian flag in north suburban Lincolnwood was intense but civil much of the way before emotions spilled over among some in attendance, with one man leaving after being chastised by the mayor.

The flag that was the subject of heated debate is part of a display of about 60 international flags along Lincoln Avenue that stretches from Devon to Touhy. Several residents have recently asked that the Palestinian flag be removed, but village officials say they have no plans to do so. Community members spoke in favor of and against the flag before the village's human relations committee. …

These elected officials will wake up for a short period once there is another terror attack on American soil. Then they will go back to sleep, until it’s us or them.

I drove past the house in Garwood, NJ that had an ISIS flag flying earlier this week. The ISIS flag is down, and now he has two flags, of Turkey and Argentina, in front of the house.

When I passed by at 4:30PM, there were three cops heading up the front steps.

Why would the cops care about flags of Turkey and Argentina????

Lots of folks here in Eastern MA fly Irish or Italian flags in front of their homes.

Be a shame if a flamethrower accidentally burned those flags when the trigger got stuck wouldn’t it?

Looks like the Muzzies are gettin ready to make a move. They’ve been infiltrating for years. Many of the convenience stores are owned by foreign interests and used to help get terrorists setup over here. I know of that are. They have different guys from Syria come in every few months at one. They work for awhile and then another comes in to take his place and on and on. The other one does the same thing but they are from Pakistan and surrounding areas.

If it were a Christian cross it would take one anonymous person to get it removed.

Since when does a city have the right to bestow sovereign nation status to an area? I thought that was the job of the national government not some snotty nose city council.
