It is easy to use scare tactics of suggesting we'll have a bunch of Nazi, Muslim, atheist symbols across The Villages, but honestly...seriously... do you really think so? The use of this scare tactic is shameful coming from an American who doesn't understand he is shutting down free speech here in The Villages.

Crosses are ornaments and therefore not allowed. Has nothing to do with religion or free exercise thereof. Be careful what you ask for- you may get it. For instance a life sized religious statue in a yard near Spanish Springs or the dog making a toilet out of a fireplug(same area). I don't believe that Jesus would erect a religious symbol in his yard if he had bought in a neighborhood with a deed restriction prohibiting such décor.
