It’s not a joke; it’s from San Francisco:

A jury awarded $465,000 to a Muslim security guard who says his co-workers and supervisors called him a terrorist and an al-Qaida member.

Jurors added $400,000 in punitive damages Monday to their earlier award of $65,000 to Abas Idris for lost wages and emotional distress…

This despite his former employer Andrews International having promoted Idris to a supervisory position. No matter how you pander to the special people, it will never be enough.

The lost wages were a result of Idris having quit because the company was unable to take his “harassment” complaints seriously. Now they will be punished.

The case allowed him to show that Islam is a religion of peace, he said.

There’s no mention of whether he was wearing a shirt like this to work.

Obama’s America-loathing political mentor and unrepentant communist terrorist Bill Ayers is famous for proclaiming,

“Guilty as sin, free as a bird. America is a great country.”

America run by liberals is also a great country for criminal scum that is slightly less free, like Danny Robbie Hembree Jr.:

A death row inmate sent a letter to a local North Carolina newspaper boasting about the “life of leisure” he is living while waiting for his execution.

“Is the public aware that the chances of my lawful murder taking place in the next 20 years if ever are very slim?” Danny Robbie Hembree Jr. wrote in a letter from jail.

Hembree, 50, was found guilty of killing a 17-year-old girl in 2009.

He also admitted to killing two other women. His punishment: a life of leisure, financed by taxpayers.

“Is the public aware that I am a gentleman of leisure, watching color TV in the a/c, reading, taking naps at will, eating three well-balanced meals a day?”

Plus there is the healthcare the rest of us have to pay through the nose for.

“I’m housed in a building that connects to the new 55 million dollar hospital with round the clock free medical care 24/7.”

Gloats Hembree:

“I laugh at you self righteous clowns and I spit in the face of your so called justice system. The state of North Carolina has sentenced me to death but it’s not real.”

No need to single out North Carolina. Mumia Abu-Jamal — found guilty of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in a slam-dunk case — was recently taken off death row after basking in liberal adulation there for decades.

Major kudos to Rick Santorum, who capped a stellar debate performance last night with the unequivocal statement that global warming is a hoax. You will not hear this bold truth from his Big Government adversaries Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, both of whom can be expected to play along with this crippling swindle, exploiting it to increase the size and power of the state — despite growing awareness that it is a crock, as confirmed in an op-ed cowritten by 16 prominent scientists:

Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed. … [T]he number of scientific “heretics” is growing with each passing year. The reason is a collection of stubborn scientific facts.

The most obvious of these facts is that it hasn’t gotten any warmer in over a decade. Global warming theories cannot account for this inconvenient truth.

Other facts are basic science like we used to learn in school. Regardless of what the politicized Supreme Court might claim,

The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere’s life cycle. Plants do so much better with more CO2 that greenhouse operators often increase the CO2 concentrations by factors of three or four to get better growth. This is no surprise since plants and animals evolved when CO2 concentrations were about 10 times larger than they are today. Better plant varieties, chemical fertilizers and agricultural management contributed to the great increase in agricultural yields of the past century, but part of the increase almost certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.

Since anyone qualified to teach high school science should know that global warming is not a scientific theory but a preposterous pretext for imposing oligarchical collectivism, why do so many scientists play along with it? One reason is fear.

[M]any young scientists furtively say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted — or worse. …

This is not the way science is supposed to work, but we have seen it before — for example, in the frightening period when Trofim Lysenko hijacked biology in the Soviet Union. Soviet biologists who revealed that they believed in genes, which Lysenko maintained were a bourgeois fiction, were fired from their jobs. Many were sent to the gulag and some were condemned to death.

At least in this country scientists who buck the establishment by refusing to propagate lies only lose their jobs.

In addition to a stick, there is also a carrot:

Alarmism over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research and a reason for government bureaucracies to grow. Alarmism also offers an excuse for governments to raise taxes, taxpayer-funded subsidies for businesses that understand how to work the political system, and a lure for big donations to charitable foundations promising to save the planet. Lysenko and his team lived very well, and they fiercely defended their dogma and the privileges it brought them.

Any global warming caused by CO2 is likely to be mild and “an overall benefit to the planet.” The global warming hoax is a pernicious scheme to rob us of our liberty and our standard of living in the name of a ridiculous lie. Only someone with the character to openly reject it is qualified to lead America.

Here’s a milestone to make liberal culture warriors proud:

Democratic Rep. Barney Frank’s spokesman Harry Gural said the longtime congressman plans to marry his partner, Jim Ready, in Massachusetts. …

Frank is the first openly gay member of Congress to announce intent to marry a same sex partner while in office. It still remains unclear, when the wedding date between Frank and his partner, Jim Ready, will occur. If it occurs while Frank is still in office, it would be the first same-sex marriage of a sitting congress member.

Frank is best known for doing more than anyone else in Congress to bring about the 2008 financial meltdown, then following it up by strangling what remained of the economy with Dodd-Frank.

A generation ago, who could have guessed the rot would become so advanced so quickly? What the liberal ruling class will degenerate into given another generation is beyond the imagination of anyone not working in the underground porn industry.

What are the odds this shirt was custom made? More likely some factory in China cranks these out by the tens of thousands for export to our Middle Eastern partners for peace.

Maybe Barack Hussein should go back over on another apology tour. With just a bit more bowing and groveling, they’re sure to stop being evil and like us.

It hasn’t been easy for Newt Gingrich to reach new lows after attacking Romney for being a capitalist, but he certainly gets an E for effort. From Florida:

Newt Gingrich’s campaign said Wednesday it would withdraw a Spanish-language radio ad that attacked rival Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as being “anti-immigrant.”

The move came in response to a request by GOP Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), a Cuban-American, who said neither Mr. Romney nor Mr. Gingrich was “anti-immigrant.”

It is true that Romney takes a much harder line than Newt on defending the country from hordes of illegal welfare colonists, but that hardly makes him anti-immigrant.

Postures Newt:

“The idea that somebody would actually think about deporting grandfathers and grandmothers strikes me as fairly inhumane. That’s how the ad got developed.”

Yanking on the heartstrings while pandering to those sympathetic to illegal aliens is a familiar tactic among Demorrhoids and particularly unprincipled RINOs. Note that Gingrich was going behind Americans’ backs by whispering in Spanish, “Psst, don’t vote for that guy, he’ll enforce immigration law.” Nothing is beneath him.

Tea Partier Rubio has stepped into the race before, when Gingrich accused Romney of being somehow like the party-switching RINO Charlie Crist, whom Rubio defeated:

“Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist. Romney is a conservative. And he was one of the first national Republican leaders to endorse me. He came to Florida, campaigned hard for me, and made a real difference in my race.”

Nobody is trying to pass off Romney as the ideal candidate. But as Marco Rubio appears to have noticed, he is less awful than Gingrich.

It’s not easy sacrificing your self-respect for the polar bears by driving a goofy-looking, overpriced Prius. Not only do you risk people thinking you are a sanctimonious fool, your fellow eco-warriors might melt your car:

A SoCal woman says the energy efficient window installed in a neighbor’s condominium is melting the plastic components on cars parked in her carport.

Heather Patron of Studio City was dealing with a mystery regarding her Toyota Prius.

“The side view mirrors were melting,” says Patron. “Anything that was plastic on the car was melting.” …

Patron then observed a powerful beam of light that was reflecting off the window of a next door condominium, casting a concentrated beam over her carport.

Not to worry, earth-firsters. Not even a toxic puddle of goo that used to be a Prius before it encountered an eco-window could be worse for the environment than the mess they make extracting nickel for Priuses’ short-lived, extravagantly expensive batteries.

Homosexual militants love to play the victim card by claiming they are “bullied.” If you want to see some bullying, try opposing their unholy agenda.

School officials at Shawano High School in Wisconsin have censored and punished Brandon Wegner, a 15-year-old, for writing an op-ed article explaining the Biblical view of homosexuality and supporting natural mother-father adoption, according to Liberty Counsel.

After Brandon wrote this article [PDF] he was pulled into hours of meetings with school administrators and staff, without his parents’ knowledge.

Superintendent Todd Carlson told him that the column “went against the bullying policy,” and asked him if he “regretted” writing it. According to Liberty Counsel, when Mr. Wegner stated that he did not regret writing it, and that he stood behind his beliefs, Superintendent Carlson told him that he had “to be one of the most ignorant kids to try to argue with him about this topic,” that “we have the power to suspend you if we want to” and that the column had “personally offended me, so I know you offended other people!”

Brandon’s opinion was a part of an editorial page which presented viewpoints both for and against homosexual adoption, each articulated by a student. After the school newspaper was published in the local town paper, a homosexual in the community complained to the school. School officials then censored Brandon’s article, forcing him and his classmates to pull the page out of the newspaper before distribution at the school.

As the wise Ann Coulter has noted, it’s easy to tell what moonbats have been up to: it’s whatever they’ve been accusing their opponents of doing.
