The government doesn’t mind people going hungry as long as they are Christians going hungry.

Wanna bet the USDA moves the Christians' food down the street to the Mosque?

Our American government has become a genuine evil.

Promotes faggotry, and drives out Christians.

Our country is in the iron grip of the Evil One and harder times are coming.

Of this, I have no doubt.

So much for the separation of church and state. Our federal government is now using its powers to establish atheism in a North Florida food kitchen. And they actually have the audacity to do so under the guise of “separation of church and state”. There is no separation here. Instead of minding their own business and staying on their side of the wall, they have chosen instead to cross that barrier and enforce their religious mandates upon a faith-based group.

Tell them to f##k off and die. Distribute it anyway. Challenge der Fuehrer’s brownshirts to shut you down or arrest you and make a huge deal about it. Make sure every recipient of their charity knows who is shutting them down and why.

Sounds like a violation of the establishment clause, the government mandates that the Christian religion isn’t permitted in the public square.

That is not at all what the Amendment I says. First of all, the amendment is a restriction on Congress only. Secondly, not only does it prohibit Congress from making a law respecting an establishment of religion, it also prohibits them from making one which prohibits the free exercise of religion. Everyone wants to ignore that second part. In this case, it is clear that the USDA intends to prohibit the religious free exercise of this North Florida kitchen. And THAT is a violation of the Free Exercise clause.

'Separation of church and state' means the government must butt out and not get involved no matter what. Instead, we get a government that instills atheism in anything and everything it can get its hands on.

Since this is Florida, I believe we should look no further than the Florida State Constitution for proper legal guidance:

Preamble

We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits, perfect our government, insure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and guarantee equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this constitution.

Because they are a bunch of lying liberal statists who really don’t believe in the separation of church and state. In fact, they don’t believe in the separation of anything and state.

States had better take notice. Americans with functioning minds have had enough of government!

Refuse to remove them. Have the USDA come and remove them if they want. Be waiting with cameras to expose the Godless bunch for what they are, those that would steal food from the mouths of the poor in the name of Godless ideology. Proverbs 14:31: "He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor."

Post this over the entry:

Joshua 24:15

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

There will be no separation of mosque and state, however.
