Hey, sargentodiaz, great post; I just read this on Hotair.
One of my faults (& I have many) is not always seeing the bigger picture. Now (lightbulb) I'm seeing this as a microcosm of the corruption in politics.
Muslims don't like pork. They don't like looking at it, being around it, or having it in the kitchen with prepared food.
Fair enough, but in prison its a different story.
This next narrative is pure conjecture. Muslims complain to CAIR. CAIR puts pressure on O, & wa-la, pork is banned. & they support this ban with lies, which come easy to progressives. No one likes bacon, pork is down on the preferred list, & now, its pork is too expensive. (since when is anything too expensive for the O administration? If they wanted to cut down, cut out some Air Force One vacation/fundraising trips, & give the prisoners their pork).
So the NPCC sees their bottom line cut, & they go crying to rino Grassley. Grassley (where Iowa is the largest pork producer in America) writes a letter to Charles E. Samuels, Jr., Director, Bureau of Prisons. Samuels calls O, & said, ya gotta give them something. So O confers with his ladies (Michelle, the mother-in-law & Jarrett) & says, let them have pork roast, but no bacon, or something like that.
& this is our donor paid government in action.
