obama to ban pork from fed prisons

[easyt65]

This is a precautionary move to ensure he doesn't violate his faith in case he gets sent to prison....

(Relax, it's a joke...)

"obama to ban pork from fed prisons"

This is easily among the more moronic non-issues contrived into a 'controversy' by the ridiculous right.

Not really Obama but why let good hyperbole go to waste.......


According to the Bureau of Prisons, as quoted in the Washington Post, the move had nothing to do with religious dietary restrictions (Muslim or Jewish) and was purely about prisoners’ lack of interest in eating pork products:

I have no doubt budget issues played a big part, too. Bacon is expensive.

Maybe this was Michelle's idea.
She likes screwing around with meals...

I don't believe it. How many prisoners? What was the polling method?

My bet is -- they got 10 complaints from Muslim prisoners.

Hmmm......I see a commonality between Muslims and Western totalitarians.....

The demand that everyone else follow their rules.

Pork shoulder is one of the cheaper cuts of meat....
And it makes great BBQ.....

Federal Prisons Removing Pork for One Reason – Islam



Why don’t they just admit they’re doing it to accommodate religion and it’s easier to have one rule that works for everyone than to bother with the complexity of alternative meals for the minority who must avoid pig products?



And, it's no coincidence that more and more prison gangs are dominated by Muslims in terrific struggles with other Latino and White Racist gangs.



The quote comes from So why did federal prisons remove all pork from the menu?

From the linked article:
Hooper predicted that anti-Islam groups would spin the decision into a case of the federal government acting under pressure from Muslims.

“This is just the kind of thing that drives them crazy,” he said. “It will stoke the fires of Islamophobia based on the usual conspiracy theories.”

If religious accommodation were the issue, that’s presumably something that’s been an issue for a long time, and inmates have non-pork meals available already.


(Guess it's working)

As they should.
That doesn't make them part of the decision, since prisoners already had the no-pork option available.

I hate THE Obama as much as the next guy but not everything is his doing

Ground pork is much less expensive than ground beef. And besides -- bacon is the STEAK of white meats..

It's a necessary move if we are to close Club Gitmo and move those guys onshore..

*Jeff Foxworthy on Muslims: *


*1. If you grow and refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral
objection to liquor, You may be a Muslim. *

*2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you
can't afford shoes, You may be a Muslim. *

*3. If you have more wives than teeth, You may be a Muslim. *

*4. If you wipe your butt with your bare hand but consider bacon to be
unclean, You may be a Muslim. *

*5. If you think vests come in two styles: Bullet-proof and suicide. You

Pork Ban in Prisons Rescinded



Why? Because one powerful Senator from Iowa informed the Bureau of Prisons that he was “unhappy” with the decision. As easy as that?

[Misty]

Maybe he's jewish.

It was an awfully short article from a site well known for dishonesty.

I'm sure that when the real story comes out it'll be something like pork prices were too high so federal corrections facilities will go with chicken and beef.

Pork is actually the cheapest of the meats. Except for bacon.

U.S. Government Eliminates Pork from Prison Menus

nonetheless pork "was" eliminated from fed. prisons by the control freak in the white house

Do you REALLY think prisons have to get their food menus approved by the POTUS?

You give Obama too much credit

Correct. Obama has nothing whatsoever to do with what inmates in federal prisons eat. How ludicrous to suppose so.
