Far Left ‘peacenik’ refuses to rent apartment to military veteran of Iraq & Afghanistan?

Boston Herald A landlady who doubles as a peace activist has refused to let a war veteran rent her property, citing 'conflicts of interest', he has claimed.

Sgt. Joel Morgan, 29, said he tried to rent a two-bedroom $1,220-a-month apartment in Savin Hill, Massachusetts after looking at it in April.

But the National Guardsman, who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo, was stunned when the property's owner, Janice Roberts, 63, turned him away due to her staunch beliefs and his war service.


In a voicemail dated to April 9, played for the Boston Herald in the presence of the veteran’s lawyer, 63-year-old Janice Roberts reportedly said: “It just is not going to be comfortable for us without a doubt. It probably would be better for you to look for a place that is a little bit less politically active and controversial,” adding, “We are very adamant about our political beliefs.”

    Ok Ms Roberts. I have a question for you. I'm a far right Christian Conservative. I believe in the sanctity of marriage and I believe that homosexuality is unnatural, against the laws of nature, and is a mortal sin. Two gay men try to rent an apartment from me and I tell them that due to my beliefs, it would just not be comfortable for us and it would be better if they went and looked for a place a little less conservative. What would you think of me? You'd grab the nearest torch and pitch-fork and lead the pack of liberal loonies to my front door wouldn't you? It is so typical of your kind. So self-righteous, so sure that you have the moral high-ground, when in fact you trample over others civil rights at will, because to think differently than you means that they are somehow unworthy of society's protections. Shame on you. You are cut from the same cloth as a racist, a Nazi, or a homophobe.

    Here is where people let emotions get in the way. It's her property and I think she should be able to do with it whatever she want as long as she doesn't create a health or safety hazard. I think it's a dirty trick to pull a stunt like this but if you truly believe in freedom.......

    While I disagree with his decision, I support his freedom to do business with whoever he chooses.

    This is something that the left usually opposes, I wonder if they will remain consistent in their views this time.
