Are you using the term "fundies" as an insult? What do you have against fundamentalist Christians?

I presume he is using it the same way most of us do, as a reference to the subset of fundamentalist Christians who bring discredit upon their faith by being obnoxious blowhards and/or demanding government support for their preferences.

It's like the difference between "Trekkie" (an annoying little munchkin in ill-fitting Spock ears) and "Trekker" (a normal Star Trek fan).
