These are simple concepts. What's not to understand?

Why none of the arrogant jerks calling Medved could communicate this simple argument, and instead resorted to juvenile taunts and insults.

What if said object was paid for by private money, and none of your taxes were involved?

If the object, whatever it is, is on public property, taxes are involved in a number of ways, not just the purchase price. There is the price of the property, e.g. the massive Ten Commandment statue in Georgia takes up a significant amount of space, which isn't free. And there is the cost of maintenance.

And then there's the endorsement problem. It's a violation of my rights if your religion is endorsed by the state.
