The most patriotic thing you can do at home is fly the American flag outside.
Countless men and women have joined the US military and lost their lives to defend the principles that flag stands for. The American flag stands for the freedom and the liberty endorsed by our Founding Fathers.
People should be allowed to fly it ANYWHERE!
But in a neighborhood near Houston, Texas, this man (below) was told by his landlord at Lodge on El Dorado that the American flag had to be removed? Why?
Because it might be offensive to practicing Muslims.
He told a local TV news reporter that the flag "isn't a threat to anyone." And his response is going VIRAL!
He said, "I'm gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I don t have the right to leave my flag there."
Many patriots are contacting this apartment building's management and expressing their displeasure with their flag ban!
Should American be allowed to fly the flag anywhere they want? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us what you think!

Nope. He lives on someone else’s property under their rules. If they don’t let other people fly flags, hang them from balconies, etc., the same applies to him.
I think it is wrong and don’t care what ‘practicing Moslems’ think but private property is private property.
Islamic fundamental doctrine is subjugation, and it is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and Western Civilization.
On April 25, 1976 at Dodger Stadium, Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs, grabbed and secured the American flag from two individuals as they were attempting to burn our flag in the middle of the playing field.
the sight of mosques offends me
they should all be removed
If in Rome you do what the Romans do. If you come to this country or “any other” you are expected to accept their societal ways. When you come to be a citizen, you take the pledge of allegiance. Its your new home and your new flag.
I wonder what is going to happen to all those Norse Countries (about 10), will they have to change their flags to suit the new comers who wish to work and live there? Trying times are ahead for the Norse. I’m sure the new comers to Scandinavia will be offended by the national flags. BTW, you know those Arabs will pay big dollars for young blond women that they can sell at the ISIS market.
[[Leave the flag up, and tell management to call the police. I’m guessing the police will ignore it,]]
I’m guessing the man will be arrested for a ‘hate crime’- can’t offend muslims now-
Nope. The flag is speech, protected as primary by First Amendment. Private property does not negate the Constitution.
I think an apartment complex would fall under the Freedom to fly the American Flag act:

The federal government owns a lot of land in the west United States, roughly 50%. Are you saying that when I’m on federal land I can’t say my mind either?
Also even though he is on private land he is a paying, not a guest. Renters have some property rights of their own. And just because you rent someone’s property doesn’t mean you have surrendered your 1st Amendment rights.

I’m not saying that no trouble will befall you; it’s up to you to decide if that’s the mountain you want to die on.
That would make me put up a second flag.
Got me some ISIS targets this week. Gonna practice head shots at 30’ this weekend.
The man paid to rent the property. It’s his property within the terms of a lease. If the lease makes the claim that you can’t fly the flag, the owner has to stfu.
Even worse the don't seem to care.
Nope.
