Well, when the crosses go, I am going after the Penn State flags! :-)

White cross on lawn in letters to the editor
 

Try it! My son-in-law went there. (It would not be a good idea to mess with him.)

Personally, I like to fly the 13 star flag attributed to Betsy Ross.

I am worried....I do not appreciate those little crosses and I'm afraid there's going to be more of that crap to come. I used to have to look at religious statues gracing people's front lawns in my old neighborhood in New Jersey. I didn't like it there and I will certainly not like to see those statues here.

I feel folks who are religious (I certainly am NOT as you can probably tell) are ramming their religious beliefs down my throat. STOP IT for crying out loud. I'm tired of having to look the other way so I don't see those damn crosses!!!

Rant over. Thank you for letting me vent.

Getting sadder and madder.

Remember I agree with deed restrictions. I would never tell someone their religion made me mad unless it was one that subjugated woman and felt that people who didn't belong should be dead.

So nice to hear a rational voice!! The first time I saw one of those little crosses, I thought it was a marker for a buried pet. What ever happened to just stringing one around your neck and calling it a day!

First Amendment
 

The First Amendment to the Constitution says we have the freedom OF religion, not FROM religion. This expressly means we Americans can, uh, express our religion - like a little white cross.

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.

Excellent post. Do free thinkers have a club here in TV? There appear to be a few of us! Woohoo!

Same with me....I thought there was a buried pet. Then the crosses started popping up all over the place and I realized there couldn't have been that many pets that died in such a short amount of time.

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.

Even if you agreed with the deed restrictions when you purchased a home in TV?

It seems there are lots of residents who didn't bother to read the deed restrictions when they purchased a home in TV. :shrug:

Barefoot, always a sane, calm voice of reason. You are a kind person and it is my pleasure to know you.

I remember there was a time when builders use to have deed restrictions not allowing sales to Jews and Blacks.

Deed restrictions are not set in steel. Time for TV to have a re-look at the restrictions.

With the unbridled growth of TV most new buyers aren't of a generation comfortable living with houses made of Ticky Tacky That All Look The Same.

Whoa, whoa, I don't need a history lesson about what god I believe in, I'm just answering a simple question about these little white crosses. Keep your history speeches for your faith. Nobody came here to argue, just making a simple comment.
