Big Brother says elderly visitors to federally funded meals at a Georgia senior citizen's center aren't allowed to pray to that absurd, dangerous Christian God of theirs. Obama's Big Brother government contends that since it has paid for their meals the government has the right to slam its iron boot heel down on the necks of those seasoned citizens that dare to engage in such an apostasy toward the state.
Seem absurd? Well it is but that is what happens when the feds roll into town and begin to hand out money. They feel the right to dictate what everyone is allowed or not allowed to do and in the case of Port Wentworth's Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah that is to tell these old folks that they are not allowed to pray before a meal.
There are federal "guidelines" to observe, after all and the federal government's rules say none of that ridiculous Christian stuff will go on if the feds supply even a penny of funding. Old folks that want to pray are banned from doing so and if they don't like it, why they can go hungry because the new Uncle Sam is a crusader against religion.
Well, at least one religion, anyway.

I love your Mother, hahaha. Got to love that attitude, at our age, they are going to tell us WHAT? rofl.
Take the King's shilling, live by the King's rules........
The people who made this decision will regret it at the Great White Throne Judgment.
They’ll have to pry my fork from my cold, dead fingers, before I stop exercising my First Amendment Rights.
Big Brothercrats will have lots of time to pray later on—in hell. Their miserable lives on earth are the only heaven they will ever know unless they bend a humble knee to the Creator before it ends.
Daniel in the Old Testament was thrown into the lion's den for praying, wasn't he?
King Obama and his subjects have an agenda, and it does not include a more spiritual, prayerful America.
What’s next, close all churches on military bases and fire all chaplains?
Can food stamp recipients still pray at home?
The answer seems very obvious:
“‘We can’t scoff at their rules,’ he said of federal authorities. ‘It’s a part of the operational guidelines.’
Then Senior Citizen’s Inc can’t pray over the food.
They have done their job once its been delivered and they are finished.
Pray and fight for the food!
So federal money can now tell the INDIVIDUAL how they can or cannot pray to their God?
nice !!!
While our government is certainly oppressive, it’s my impression that the bad guy here is not the Feds but the d***heads running the center.
That photo makes me puke!
Indeed.
Well, I bet they can’t smoke inside either.
Give in to one rule, give in to another!
There is no God given right to Pray to God when under Nannyism’s bailiwick! (he, he
Though this does sound far fetched. As do most things in our land today.
Hear about the GOP vice gubernatorial candidate in MA?
So if you get food stamps you can’t thank God? I guess pray to the government.
America is on its last legs. It was great for a couple of hundred years.
Smoking’s gone, dude.
You know it’s coming.
