67% in favor to 33% against, now
Now that you've posted it in a thread, they'll be on it like white on rice. That's the problem here. Once a poll is "advertised", the FReeping of polls becomes useless.
The display of the Ten Commandments can be justified as a contribution to the development of our secular law. Moses and the 10 Commandments are depicted on the south frieze of the courtroom at the USSCT. I think it is really a matter of how they are displayed.
Did 'dat.
373 votes.. 67% for 33% against..
It's in Austin. I'm in Austin. Austin is the Berzerkly of Texas.
While Judeo-Christian traditions played a large role in the founding principles of our country, it is important to remember that the founding fathers were Deists and, as such, found appeals to God to be superfluous. For the founding fathers, man controlled his fate. Science and politics were his tools. Secular governments, respecting the beliefs of all, were and are the only governments that can govern effectively.
Libs are at it. It's running almost 50-50 now.
The commies have found the poll:

Even John Adams and Thomas Jefferson left comments!
That is the norm for the intelligentsia from the left who think it's their private forum. They screech and hiss at anything which goes against the communist manifesto. Bookmark the site and check every few days if you can. I get a kick out of reading their drivel :-)
I believe our government respects the beliefs of all, however the ten commandments don't offend anyone but athiests, folks from the ACLU and criminals. I believe in them and people that don't, well, that's OK too. I don't see any harm in displaying them on gubmint property. If people don't wish to read them, don't. BTW, your comment sounds familiar. Ever post to News8 polls?
You got that right! Walked down the drag lately (or within the last 2 years)? It's a nutfarm.
Yeah, looks like it's already that way. Damn trolls!
Good point. I keeping forgetting that Austin is the Texas looney pit, because Texas is largely a Republican state.
