They always want us to say "happy holidays". Well, why exclude one of those holidays? Why not let everyone celebrate the holiday they want.

After 8 years of trump I hope my children will be able to grow up in an America where they won't be persecuted for their faith in Christ

If I were their neighbor then I would put up an even bigger sign that says "Satan". No reason live in a nice neighborhood if your neighbors put up trashy signs and decorations in their yard.

If this couple was Muslim and they put up a bomb for Ramadan it would be illegal to tell them to take it down

They should just put a Jose and Maria next to it.

The homeowner’s association also claimed the display was a sign, not a decoration – which is a violation of the rules


So you just conveniently left this part out?

Probably one of those crazy HOAs that wants everyone to have the same matching blinds too.

You overplay your hand occasionally, but all in all, exceptional

You don't know what persecution is. You're an idiot and your children will probably be idiots too.

ETA: didn't notice this was Gaucho until it was too late

Yeah they are breaking the rule and they could just take the sign down and put the Jesus tinsel on their house.

Gotta love it.

Christian nation invites people of other faiths into it’s borders

FF to 2017, and very same Christian nation is on its knees kissing Islam’s butt so as to not offend them, and sacrificing the Christian faith because it’s now what’s offensive.

This world is turned on it’s ears.

While I absolutely agree with this, can’t we also acknowledge that the people who complained to the HOA need to thicken their skin and not be so sensitive to everything they don’t like.

I don’t like some of my neighbors over the top decorations, and I could go to our HOA about it. But it in big scheme of things it isn’t a big deal and really isn’t worth alienating neighbors over.
