I find it highly silly that some of you are lecturing people about respect in support of a sign that is intended for nothing but attack. Unlike the Christmas Tree, the menorah or even a Festivus pole, it exists only to deride, not to promote anything.

Not respect, or in support of, but in acknowledgement of our Constitution, which protects what we love, and what we hate, alike.

It’s not respect for a sign, it’s respect for rights under the rule of law. I respect the right of free speech. Does that mean I support everything a person may have a conversation about? Nope.

This isn’t about agreeing with their sign, it is about the law that gives all of us our rights, be it Christian, Atheist, Buddhist, or Moonie. Those rights gives us our freedom to seek God, we can’t seek Him freely if we aren’t free in the first place. If we start banning other displays, we become no better than those who try to ban Christmas displays.
