Pastor Who Banned Fried Chicken at Church Gets Major Obamacare Navigator Grant
Breitbart ^ | 10/27/2013 | Breitbart News

Minor explained how he won a major grant – some $317,742 -- from the federal government, despite the fact that his church is small. “I applied for it.” His church has approximately 100 members. The church kitchen carries a sign reading, “No Fry Zone.” Minor said, “It’s a symbol, especially with people of color. You’ve got to rally around symbols.”

Minor says he has built a network of 75 to 100 navigators and counselors to work the Obamacare system. “We feel like once you get people in churches and families, they will become de facto navigators,” Minor explained.

I thought the term "de facto navigators" is interesting.

I thought the phrase “to work the Obamacare system” was also interesting.

I didn’t catch that. So he worked the Obamacare system for over $300,000 for de facto navigators.

"I didn’t catch that. So he worked the Obamacare system for over $300,000 for de facto navigators."

Kinda... this was part of their overall plan for redistribution of wealth and signing up additional Democrat voters. To that extent, they are working exactly within the "system" that has been created. Funny, I don't recall hearing about open bids for Navigator contracts in any open media.

"Separation of church and state?"

I'm sorry: the Left only screams about that was George Bush is talking about Faith-based initiatives.

The first thing I would do as dictator is ban government grants to private organizations.

1. How did he learn to apply for Navigator position?

2. To which media/associations/groups was application information given?

3. How will he and his Navigators be monitored, evaluated and disciplined?

4. Am I actually expecting answers to these questions?

He asked for it. And he got it. Being black didn’t have anything to do with it. /S

What? Ban fried chicken from a Baptist pot luck and all you’ve got left are casseroles. There would be riot at my church! You can have my drumstick when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
