Obama Administration – No praying because we gave you free food

Bethesda Mission gives away around 200,000 and feeds about 3,000 hot meals a day to their clients.   They don’t proselytize; they don’t make it mandatory that their clients attend religious functions in order to receive that food or eat those meals.  But, being a Christian mission, they pray (“say Grace”) and give thanks to God before they eat.

And then the Obama Administration told Bethesda “Take our free food? You can’t pray”.  Once again we see that anything that is “free” from the Feds is NEVER free and comes with strings attached.  And in this case for about a 1,000 lbs /month of “free USDA surplus food (about 1/2 of 1% of the food Bethesda distributes or uses) we see the Obama Administration, once again, continuing its attack on those of faith in trying to rid the public square of them (re: remember Obama suing the Little Sisters of the Poor? Obama’s constant “Freedom of worship” instead of Freedom of expression?).  He declares “Thou shalt bow on bended knee to your King Nebuchadnezzar and his secular religion.”

The First Amendment was never about Freedom from religion but that Government could not start it own – and NOT to tell citizens what they could or should believe.  So after 102 years of serving others, the Obama Administration is going full Bernie Sanders (who said he’d eliminate all charity if he could) in trying to shut them down.
