After Cali Orders Store to Remove Giant U.S. Flag – Business Owner Makes Ultra-Patriotic Move

It seems, everywhere we look, the Democratic Party is waging a war against the very foundation of American pride and heritage. From attempts to rewrite history to relentless attacks on symbols of patriotism, liberals seem determined to undermine the values that have made this country great. And now, one company’s refusal to back down is putting this battle in the spotlight once again.

Why does it seem Democrats hate timeless symbols of liberty and patriotism?

The latest skirmish in this ongoing cultural war is unfolding in Northern California, where a popular store, Camping World has one of its locations. It proudly flew a large American flag over its store.

Yet, this American company is being told to take down the Stars and Stripes, all because it supposedly violates the county’s rules. But the company’s CEO refuses to bend the knee. Instead of caving to pressure, he’s proudly sending a message to paper pushers all over the country.

From Fox Business:
A major RV retailer is fighting a Northern California county over its right to display a giant American flag…

“Camping World’s flagpole was installed with neither a building permit nor planning approval, therefore they are in conversation with the code enforcement division,” the county said in a statement to the local outlet.

The county feels the flagpole could be dangerous because of its closeness to property lines and the highway. However, Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis disagreed and ordered the flag to be reinstalled at the location on Monday.

Camping World Stands Tall

Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis is standing up to local authorities who ordered the removal of a massive American flag. Yes, you read that right—an American company is being told to take down the Stars and Stripes, all because it supposedly violates some county ordinance. But Lemonis isn’t having it. Instead of caving to pressure, he’s proudly keeping the flag flying high, and in doing so, he’s sending a powerful message: you can’t erase American pride.

The flag in question isn’t just any flag—it’s a large symbol of freedom that can be seen for miles around. To Lemonis, it represents everything that makes America special. “It’s symbolism about how we feel about this country. We have a lot of veterans who work for us, and a lot of veterans who shop with us,” he said, emphasizing that the flag is a tribute to veterans and active-duty service members. But apparently, that sentiment doesn’t carry much weight with the local government, which seems more interested in enforcing regulations than honoring patriotism.

The Erosion of American Heritage

This isn’t just about one flag, though. It’s part of a broader effort to erode America’s heritage and dilute the pride that so many feel for this country. We’ve seen it in the push to tear down statues of our Founding Fathers and in the attempts to rewrite history textbooks to paint America as a villain.

Not to mention relentless attacks on anyone who dares to show their love for this nation. The left is determined to reshape America in its own image, and that means tearing down the symbols and traditions that have united us for generations.

Think about it: what’s more American than flying the flag? It’s a symbol of our unity, our resilience, and our shared values. But to the far left, it’s become a target—a reminder of the country they’re trying to change. And so they attack it, whether through absurd regulations or outright disdain. It’s all part of a concerted effort to make patriotism seem outdated, even problematic, in the eyes of the public.

Standing Up for America

But patriotic Americans aren’t backing down. Like Lemonis, they’re fighting back against the left’s attempts to erase our heritage. They’re standing up for the flag, for our history, and for the values that have made this country the beacon of freedom that it is.

And it looks like Camping World won its fight. After news broke about the flag, the county scrambled to respond. It claimed it never asked the store to take down the flag. The county is now issuing a building permit for the flagpole.

Key Takeaways:

  • Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis is defying a county order to remove a giant American flag, standing up for patriotism.
  • This fight is perceived in light of leftist attempts to rewrite America’s history and culture.
  • After word spread about the news, the county granted the store a permit for the flagpole.
