Obama admin bans pork products from federal prisons – you’ll be FURIOUS when you hear why
BPR ^ | October 10. 2015 | Tom Tillison

The Obama administration has banned bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all other pork products from all federal prisons.

But for those concerned that the U.S. government is bending to the will of Muslim inmates, the Bureau of Prisons, which falls under the charge of the Justice Department, insists the change was made based on a survey of prisoners’ food preferences, the Washington Post reported.

[snip]“In general we welcome the change because it’s facilitating the accommodation of Muslim inmates,’ said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper. “We hope it’s not an indication of an increasing number of Muslims in the prison system.”

[snip]The nation’s pork producers, on the other hand, who first learned of the ban on Monday when contacted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for comment, are not as pleased.

Once again Obama panders to Muslims and CAIR....bacon, sausage, barbecue etc......can't wait for the first inmate demands for their real choice. Meanwhile...Dr. Carson is calling for the removal of CAIR's taxfree position...CAIR IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS....CAIR IS NOT A CHURCH. Obama's derision for all things American, is patently loud and clear. Impeachment!

Isn’t ‘denial of bacon’ cruel and unusual punishment?

Yeah, it’s S/ (with a bit of truth)

Lots of Americans cannot afford meat of any kind. They can eat hay for all I care.

Wait a minute here, in school and in the military no one ever surveyed me asking what I preferred on the menu.

But violent convicted criminals get surveyed and get to choose?

So, there’s enough Muslim inmates that this is an issue. The Muslims ought to want to downplay that.

Most may have converted after they got there.

** What about the needs of vegan inmates? **

There is a vegan option. I saw it on their menu changes. So, why couldn’t non pork eaters just have the vegan option?

Right! And how about Kosher food, the requirements of Jewish law? Only about 14.4% Muslims opposed to 60% Blacks, who is pushing this...oooh yeah, a lot of Blacks are Muslim. Let the riots began.........what an unbelievable Jerk we have as POTUS.

Maybe bacon will get cheaper now.

There could be a bright side to this.

(No, not really-ducking now)

You can get more than enough pork in prison and it’s not served in the mess hall.
