Others attending this class or in attendance at the pool have to endure her idiotic political views if they want to enjoy time in or about pool. She certainly has the right to her views, but shoving it down people's throats in a class or a pool environment is ignorant and rude and ruins it for everyone in attendance. I don't know why people feel they have to do this. I really feel sorry for her neighbors who have to look at her stupid political shrine in her garage every day of the week. That's not what the Villages is about - its supposed to be friendly and welcoming. She and her ilk have turned it into a battlefield. We all see people flaunting the rules and putting up political flags with disparaging slogans. The architectural review committee should take a more active stance on banning this stuff. Political signs at one's home during election season are one thing, but having them on view 14 hours/day, 365 days a year are something else. And by the way, she has gotten into shouting matches with neighbors who didn't agree with her views.

Kind of hard to imagine a woman wearing a T shirt and using a swimming pool as being aggressive and shoving a political view down someone's throat. I think I see the correlation of this and those that think that a small, 8" cross on someone's lawn as being aggressive and shoving their religion down someone's throat, or flying a political flag at home.
Like I said before, I drove past that nut case, Eddie boy the other afternoon and saw his clown cart. I just laughed and moved on. He doesn't bother me and he is just a funny distraction from the building traffic on Villages roads. Of course if he ever accosted my wife for her views, he would welcome the police handcuffs rather than what would come thundering down upon him. That said, I do not think his problem is a political view, as much as his just suffering from a low self esteem and lack of respect for others around him. I do believe that he is a powder keg with a lit fuse. It's just a matter of time before he blows up and does something that puts him away for a very long time. Maybe the judge will mandate that he receive some professional help. |
