the Constitution can NOT make you pray, but it can NOT forbid it either...Come November....
Those seniors have religious freedom. I say go ahead and pray.
And what will do to stop them?
Don’t you get it. The Evil ones are forcing more and more Government on Americans. They will now TELL you IF and WHEN you can PRAY.
But the feds give prayer rugs and observe all religious practices for muzzie prisoners.
“Oppressive Government: Feds Tell GA Old Folks They Can’t Pray Before Meals”
1. The Feds didn’t say they couldn’t pray.
2. They were allowed to pray.
The various tribes only care about their rank in the tribe.
They do not care about making their areas or America better.
I hope the seniors are suing! Will they say that to a muslim too?
Thanks Mobile Vulgus, and well said.
"I fought at Anzio, stormed Normandy, and endured Inchon for this?!?!?!?"
Thank him for the food we eat,
Thank him for comrades we meet.
Thank him for the birds that sing,
Thank Barack for everything. Amen

How much more unconstitutional tyranny are we going to take, as a country? How much more? The thought of the elderly being prevented from their regular practice of group prayer before meals makes my blood boil.
the Constitution can NOT make you pray, but it can NOT forbid it either...I hope these socialist wackos get a huge conservative boot in their behinds come November.
Please provide a reference to the specific Federal document stipulating this requrement.
They should say they are muslim and are offended at how the federal government is treating the prophet muhammad. No way they’d see the same response.
Who is enforcing this dictate and how? How obscene. I think my response to whatever bureaucrat handed me the food would be to stop and raise my hands to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and pray very loudly.
You know the government tried to oppress righteous Daniel too, and it didn’t work out so well...
They never learn, eh?
I like this part of the article:
“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.
You see, while Obama’s federal government is ever ready to get tough with Georgia’s elderly and to put a stop to all that praying nonsense, it is also the same government that at federal expense is installing ritual footbaths in airports and universities to mollify Muslims. Not only that but the same federal government sees no reason to stop bombers from easily boarding planes so that they can make an escape to a foreign nation after a failed attempt to kill untold hundreds of Americans. But damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead to prevent those dangerous old folks in the middle of Georgia from daring to pray to that subversive Christian God!”
Wow, the federal juggernaut bigots!
They need to publicize the heck out of this — especially to all those seniors who voted for the lunatic in chief.
Is this intolerable?
I hear they can pray now because of the bad PR the place received but for Pete Sake what is happening to our country in such a short time. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!
