From the Paper:

"Democrats of course come out on the opposite end of this issue. Most Democrats are of the opinion that when the Constitution laid out its restrictions on the interaction of government and religion, that included posting religious artifacts, symbols and statements on government property. The fact that the Ten Commandments are Christian in nature, and can be found in the courts, leads Liberals to the conclusion that it is a government act that promotes Christianity."
