Elderly visitors to federally funded meals at a Georgia senior citizen’s center aren’t allowed to pray
By Warner Todd Huston Monday, May 10, 2010
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.
New Uncle Sam is a crusader against religion…Well, at least one religion, anyway
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!
The nerve of those elderly Americans daring to observe their Christian cultural heritage, a heritage that helped build this country. It’s an outrage, don’t you think? So, it’s freedom from religion as far as Obama’s government is concerned. I mean, these old folks are probably as dangerous to the state as can be! Thank Gaia that Obama is quashing their subversive activities.
Praise be it to the state, thanks be to The One, and pass the potatoes. The Obam-
messiah shall provide all our wants. But, remind me… has he walked on water yet?

This is the same president that allowed a day of Muslim prayer on the front lawn of the White House for a full day, plus media coverage, last year and the same year that Obama decided America did not need a Day of Prayer, just before the Muslims arrived on the lawn of the White House. This guy is the "Audacity of Hope" !!
One writer last week suggested Obama resign and go into full-time work supporting Islam, but not on the American tax payers hard-earned money and NOT while President of the United States, since "all the people" are not ALL Muslims and last I looked, America has not joined the other Arab countries.
My message to the Sernior Citizens is this: "Pray"! Pray for our government, for America and all her allies, our loved ones, our enemies, for wisdom, and for Obama.
