Unbelievable… Seniors Not Allowed to Pray Before Meals at Nursing Home (WAKE UP FOLKS)

This is unbelievable… Now they won’t allow our seniors to pray before meals. When did America become a communist regime? Senior citizens are no longer allowed to pray before meals at the Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah, Georgia. Local officials say the meals are now provided with federal money and therefore the seniors are not allowed to pray before meals.

Wake Up America......................

Well, at least they're not praying to the Zero.

But they will still celebrate Halloween, I bet.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Just another reason for an old fashioned ass kicking in November.

[anniegetyourgun]

The seniors themselves must initiate prayer in defiance of such nonsense.

[fightinJAG]

Paid for with federal money . . .

There is no such thing as “federal money.” This is our money and we want it back.

The federal government has become the biggest vehicle for the redistribution of wealth in the history of mankind. This must stop.

[SumProVita]

This is NOT constitutional.

[GnuHere]

Those Commie idiots! This is not what the Constitution says!

[Maine Mariner]

This is certainly a stretch of the law.
My guess is that the people running the place are not
particularly religious and are making excuses to deprive people of praying. Praying makes the administers uncomfortable.

But Senior Citizens Inc. officials said Friday the meals they are contracted by the city to provide to Ed Young visitors are mostly covered with federal money, which ushers in the burden of separating church and state.

Keep your laws off of my SOUL!

[The Sons of Liberty]

They should do it anyway and let Eric Holder and his goons try and stop it!

[fwdude]

What’s the limit of this insane rationale!? Since the armed forces guard our land with “federal money” are we now prohibited from exercising Christianity anywhere within our borders?

[cripplecreek]

I got news for the anti God nazis.

Those old folks are probably praying silently and there’s nothing you can do about it.

[pgkdan]

I’m calling b.s. on this story. I just don’t believe it.

[major-pelham]

of course that is what they should do - defy anyone to even think of trying to do something about it

[pgkdan]

OK. Not b.s Still can’t believe it’s true though. What kind of people do they have working at this so called senior services outfit who would object to grandma and grandpa saying grace before a meal? Just unbelievable!

[RadiationRomeo]

I can somehow understand someone not wanting ‘organized praying’ before a government supplied meal. But this goes beyond any ability of mine to understand the rationale. If someone catches some old man sneaking a quick prayer they will yank his bowl of spagetti-Os from his table. You pray- you go hungry. Maybe if he stops praying he will get some food tomorrow. Unbelievable.

[thethirddegree]

America will not wake up until all Christians are raptured. Then it will be too late.

[concerned about politics]

Now they won’t allow our seniors to pray before meals.

I'd bow my head and do it anyway. What are they going to do about it?
