'Ultra' patriotic Boynton Beach couple told to remove flag from window

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Two renters who want to fly an American flag until the nation's soldiers return home are challenging their landlord who is trying to force them to take it down.

Susan Hudson and her boyfriend, A.J. Hemsey, who have been flying the flag in a bedroom window for more than a year, consider themselves "ultra" patriots.

"I'm an American, and I will not be bullied in my own country," Hemsey said.

But property manager Mary Jane Fullam said the flag violates community rules encouraging uniformity. The complex insists that the flag must be removed or hidden behind the white window blinds so passers-by don't see it when they enter the property.

"That's why we give them the blinds," Fullam said. "If we let them hang their flag, then someone else could say, 'Hey, the people at 6107 have a flag. I worship the devil, so I should be able to fly my devil flag.'"

The flag is visible from the complex's main gate. Hudson said she bought it Sept. 11, 2001, and doesn't intend to take it down until the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are over.

The couple's lease, though, is clear, Fullam said. Renters aren't allowed to alter their apartments in any way. This includes hanging banners, streamers or even curtains so they are visible outside the apartment, Fullam said.

Remember, if you're Christan or/and patriotic....you're a right wing whack-O in this country.
