-British Flag banned from airport personnel's uniforms

Take a glance at England for our future of self-destructing political correctness:

ARMED cops patrolling Heathrow Airport have been banned from wearing tiny Union Jack badges in support of British troops

Top brass claimed the tie-pin badges - which cost £1 with proceeds going to the Help for Heroes charity - were OFFENSIVE.

But one officer asked: "How can the Union Jack be offensive?

"This ruling is even more absurd coming this weekend on the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

"We must be the only country ashamed to display our national flag."

"Nobody has put out orders to remove rainbow symbols that gay and lesbian officers wear. Why discriminate against us?"

-MSNBC host can't figure out what's wrong with Letterman calling Gov. Palin slutty

Really Contessa? You can't figure out what's offensive about referring to your 14 year old daughter as "knocked up" and being called slutty? But your interviewee calling your network biased offends you.

-NY City turns luxury apartment into homeless shelter

From NY Daily News:

Granite countertops. Terraces. Marble bathrooms. Walk-in closets. The homeless are livin' large in Brooklyn. The city is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a month to rent luxury condos in a Crown Heights building for homeless families, the Daily News has learned.

"It's like a hotel. It's the nicest place I've ever lived in," said Nelson Delgado, 36, who moved into a swanky two-bedroom, two-bath pad two weeks ago.

"When I first saw it, I was like, 'Damn, everything is brand new,'" said Raymond, who wouldn't give his last name. "It has marble counters and marble floors in the bathrooms, too. I like the big kitchen. That's my favorite."

City officials said the condos - which couldn't attract buyers in the fizzled housing market - are part of an effort to help an "unprecedented" number of homeless families who have ended up on the street because of the tough economy. Units priced at $350,000 This spring, Shriki signed a 10-year contract with the Bushwick Economic Development Group to turn the building into a homeless shelter.

Developer Avi Shriki wouldn't say how much he gets paid - but he said he jumped at the chance to get people in his building. "At least we still own the building and we are paying our mortgage, so that's good," said Shriki.

"The outcome is not as bad as some people I know who had to surrender the whole building to the bank." The city is paying Bushwick Economic Development Corp. $90 a night for each of the apartments, about $2,700 a month - a figure that also covers social services, housing help and job counseling designed to get families back on their feet. Shelter residents said it's not their fault they landed in such swanky digs.

"People are saying we don't deserve to live here," said an 18-year-old man who gave his name only as "Boss," who moved into a two-bedroom apartment with his mom last week.

"Just because a person fell out doesn't mean they don't deserve a place to stay," he said.

It doesn't mean the taxpayers are obliged to provide a luxury apartment for them either. If they wanted to do that they can, on their own dime and time.

Yes, this is the same New York City who is in a fiscal crisis almost as bad as California's.

-Quotes from the Arkansas Terrorist who killed the Army Private

"I do feel I'm not guilty," Abdulhakim Muhammad told The Associated Press in a collect call from the Pulaski County jail. "I don't think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason."...

"It's been on my mind for awhile. It wasn't nothing planned really. It was just the heat of the moment, you know,"

"U.S. soldiers are killing innocent Muslim men and women. We believe that we have to strike back. We believe in eye for an eye. We don't believe in turning the other cheek," he said.

Asked whether he considered the shootings at the recruiting center an act of war, Muhammad said "I didn't know the soldiers personally, but yes, it was an attack of retaliation. And I feel that other attacks, not by me or people I know, but definitely Muslims in this country and others elsewhere, are going to attack for doing those things they did," especially desecrating the Quran....

-Egypt rules that its citizens cannot be married to Israelis

From JewishJournal:

After the verdict was read in the Cairo courtroom, Nabih al-Wahsh, an Egyptian attorney, jumped for joy and received an avalanche of telephone calls from friends congratulating him on his latest legal victory. Al-Wahsh has managed to extract a ruling from Egypt’s Administrative Court — which rules in disputes between citizens and the state — that would force the Egyptian government to strip Egyptians married to Israelis of their Egyptian citizenship. The May 19 ruling was met with the cheers of millions in this populous Arab country. “This is an historic ruling,” al-Wahsh said to reporters after the ruling. “Egyptians married to Israelis are dangerous to Egypt’s national security, acting in ways that contradict the constitution of their country and Islamic laws,” he said.
This is the same country that President Obama called "the heart of the Arab world"

The problem with the Muslim world is that we as westerners or as Israelis must tolerate them, but they have to tolerate no one. It's no surprise you won't be hearing about this in the mainstream media. It would be quite embarrassing for President Obama.

"Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance." -- Barack Obama, Cairo, June 4, 2009

-Global Warming deniers should be killed?

Talking Points Memo, a website often used by liberals in the media as a reference, recently had the post below removed.

At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers?

What is so frustrating about these fools is that they are the politicians and greedy bastards who don’t want a cut in their profits who use bogus science or the lowest scientists in the gene pool who will distort data for a few bucks. The vast majority of the scientific minds in the World agree and understand it’s a very serious problem that can do an untold amount of damage to life on Earth.

So when the right wing f***tards have caused it to be too late to fix the problem, and we start seeing the devastating consequences and we start seeing end of the World type events - how will we punish those responsible. It will be too late. So shouldn’t we start punishing them now?

Even if the concept of global warming as portrayed by the media wasn't a complete farce, what happened to freedom of speech? Why should someone be killed simply because they disagree with what is thought to be "the majority?" (It isn't.)
