It’s not just about the changeable, community update sign in the Windstone community that says “Happy Holidays,” said Bill Reesor.

It’s about everything.

The progressives and secularism, Reesor believes, are rooting out traditional American values. This American president he doesn’t like. The 1960s Hugo Black case and the perversion of the separation of church and state Reesor believes came out of it.

It’s about losing his America, and being kicked out of his own holiday.

And this sign was just the tipping point.
