Meat-Processing Plant Fires Nearly 200 Workers Amid Muslim Prayer Dispute — and CAIR Is Getting Involved. Evidently they don’t process pork at this plant. Perhaps they should.

Here’s Pastor Joe Nelms of the Family Baptist Church in Lebanon, Tennessee delivering the greatest prayer in the history of NASCAR.
Here’s Pastor Joe Nelms of the Family Baptist Church in Lebanon, Tennessee delivering the greatest prayer in the history of NASCAR. Maybe even the greatest prayer in the history of prayers.
Say hallelujah!
Holy moly. Government makes senior citizens choose between salvation and starvation
If you’re a senior citizen who’s fallen on hard times and you’ve been praying for a free meal, stop praying. You’re violating the constitutionally-guaranteed separation of church and hunger. (We’re not constitutional scholars like President Obama, so we’re not quite sure exactly where that prohibition is spelled out our founding document.)

WSB-TV reports the story of political correctness run amok:
Preston Blackwelder proudly showed off a painting of his grandmother that had hung next to the front door of his Port Wentworth home.
She was the woman who led him to God, Blackwelder said Friday.
And with that firm religious footing, Blackwelder said it would be preposterous to stop praying before meals at Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah because of a federal guideline.
“She would say pray anyway,” Blackwelder said of his grandmother. “She’d say don’t listen.”
But Senior Citizens Inc. officials said Friday the meals they are contracted by the city to provide to Ed Young visitors are mostly covered with federal money, which ushers in the burden of separating church and state.
On Thursday, the usual open prayer before meals at the center was traded in for a moment of silence.
The dilemma is being hashed out by the Port Wentworth city attorney, said Mayor Glenn “Pig” Jones.
Tim Rutherford, Senior Citizens Inc. vice president, said some of his staff recently visited the center and noticed people praying shortly before lunch was served. Rutherford said his company provides meals like baked chicken, steak tips and rice and salads at a cost of about $6 a plate. Seniors taking the meals pay 55 cents and federal money foots the rest of the bill, Rutherford said.
“We can’t scoff at their rules,” he said of federal authorities. “It’s a part of the operational guidelines.”
Just another example of those damn bitter clingers, stubbornly clinging to their religion and their appetites.

Community organizers pray to Obama.
Not for Obama, but to Obama.
“Hear our cry, Obama! Deliver us, Obama.” Pardon the expression, but good lord almighty. Now community organizers are praying to Obama.
“Hear our cry, Obama! Deliver us, Obama.” Pardon the expression, but good lord almighty.
Now community organizers are praying to Obama. The Gamaliel Foundation goes way back with Barack Obama and helped organize his early work in Chicago’s poor neighborhoods.
Suddenly, the video clips of school kids singing the President’s praises seem almost innocent by comparison.
Sure glad we got that dangerous religious zealot out of the White House. Wait. Not so fast.
Barack Obama talks to God for inspiration. He’s a religious fanatic. He’s worse than the Taliban. He’s turning the country over to dangerous religious elements.
The left has undergone a miraculous religious conversion since Barack Obama was inaugurated. Suddenly, it’s good again to be overtly religious.
Comments that would have driven the left to bemoan the blurring of the separation of church and state had Bush made them are now seen as proof of Obama’s humanity and humility.
Consider this exchange on Thursday’s Nightline:
Terry Moran: Last question. As you know, there’s a lot of curiosity about you and what you do and what you wear and all these things and where you worship. If I may ask, how have the responsibilities of the presidency affected your spiritual life, if at all.
Obama: Well, I had a habit of praying every night before I got to bed. I pray all the time now (laughs) because I have a lot of stuff on my plate and I need guidance all the time. We haven’t selected a permanent church home in DC….my Faith and Neighborhood Initiatives Director Joshua DeBois, he has a devotional that he sends to me on my Blackberry every day. That’s how I start my morning. It’s got a passage, a scripture, in some cases quotes from other faiths to reflect on. So look, when you’re in this job, I think every President who’s had it is constantly humbled by the degree to which there are a lot of issues out there and the notion that one person alone can solve all these problems…I think you’re cured of that illusion very quickly. You just hope that you’re aligning your work with His purposes and that you’re attuned to the needs of the people that you’re there to serve.
Good Lord (you’ll pardon he expression), the man talks to God for inspiration. He’s a religious fanatic. He’s worse than the Taliban. He’s turning the country over to dangerous religious elements.
Confused about what role religion should play in a president’s life? Keep the rule of thumb in mind:
Republican president prays, bad. Democrat president prays, good.
Students stand up to ACLU, recite Lord’s prayer at graduation
The entire 2009 graduating class at Florida’s Pace High School stood up to the ACLU by standing up to recite the Lord’s Prayer.
Naturally, the incident has been ignored by the liberal media.
When their principal asked everyone to be seated for the ceremony, nearly 400 graduating seniors remained standing and began their prayer. Parents, family and friends spontaneously joined in and then broke into applause upon its completion.
Here’s the background: The ACLU sued the school six months ago, complaining that prayers had been offered at two school-sponsored events. As the school ramped up preparations for this year’s graduation ceremony, the ACLU demanded that they refrain from saying anything religious.
This blatant attempt at censorship led the students to develop their plan in secret.
“Neither students nor teachers shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate,” noted Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law. “The students at Pace High School refused to remain silent and were not about to be bullied by the ACLU.
We’re thinking of starting a new website called IHateTheACLU.com.

Liberal prayer breakfast beseeches the Lord to end secret ballots
This is one of the most worst stories we’ve ever read. Really. One of the worst.
“Union leaders, clergy and liberal members of Congress gathered in the mostly empty U.S. Capitol Visitors Center early Tuesday morning,” according to CNSnews.com, “to hear multicultural choir music, speeches from religious leaders–and to pray for the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. The prayer breakfast was sponsored by Faith Leaders for Workplace Fairness–a coalition of liberal religious groups that was formed for the sole purpose of promoting the ‘card-check’ bill.”
Yes. You read that right. These people prayed for the end of the secret ballot in union elections.
Why stop there, you slackers? Why not pray for the end of democracy? Pray that Jimmy Carter will fly in to monitor all future American elections. Pray that Obama takes over every industry he hasn’t yet taken over. Pray that Joe Biden becomes intelligent.
Nah, even God couldn’t pull that one off.

Allah ™
A Malay court will decide if a Catholic church will be able to continue to pray to Allah. The official language of Malaysia calls God Allah, and this particular church is trying to make a point. But the Muslims are not too happy about it, apparently believing they own the trademark. They are taking the church to court to forbid them from using the word Allah, as they argue its use by other faiths could cause cause confusion and conversions. Islam has 99 other names for Allah, you’d think they could spare one.
If the church can win this battle, we think they should offer 72 73 virgins for new converts from Islam.
