To also classify these people as horrible people is an ad hominem attack and unwarranted here.

"ad hominem" BTW - is one of my fav.'s

Of course not all R's feel this way. But, I submit the vast majority do. So, I was just calling it like I see it. I know of no instance where any part of the R party has opposed any instance of govt. sponsored Ten Commandments in public buildings. They have all, or at least all I have seen, supported it. I think that is wanting to est. an theocracy and really see no valid argument against it. But, if your version differs, so be it and I certainly hope you are correct and I am in error
