Pam Geller is running with it to promote her Islamophobic agenda. Anti-Muslim hate group leader Pamela Geller has seized on the murder of a 20-year old . . . → Read More: Pam Geller Pushes Her Hate-fest Agenda–Even if it Means Perpetrating a Lie Sitting back after the dust has settled on Susan G. Komen’s awkward about-face (which is actually no about-face at all but a bit of temporary cover), one thing has become clear. Komen has given a renewed voice back to the pro-choice movement, too long drowned out by the money and loud talking . . . → Read More: Fallout from the Komen disaster.

Vic Toews doesn’t let reality get in the way of a good ideology (emphasis mine). “I don’t know if the statistics demonstrate that crime is down,” he said. “I’m focused on danger.” Toews said his concern is that the public is in danger as long as criminals walk the streets.
