Salute to Miss California
It seems that the winner of the Miss USA pageant Kristen Dalton, Miss North Carolina, has been overshadowed by the controversy regarding Carrie Prejean, Miss California, comments on gay marriage. When asked, she stated her opinion, “I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody there. But that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be.” Bravo for Carrie Prejean!
The question to Miss California was asked by Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger, and apparently a gay man. If he isn’t gay, he sure missed a good opportunity to be gay. After the pageant, Mr. Hilton posted a video blog on his website, and in typical “progressive” style has to start calling names.
What is it about progressives (a.k.a. liberals) that anyone that has a different opinion has to be labeled? Then, once labeled, they feel the need to ridicule their target. What happened to having a different opinion. The left doesn’t respect different opinions! If you have a different opinion, instead of discussing the matter they are going to give you a label and ridicule you. If you say something they don’t agree with, you are using hate speech, especially if you don’t like something.
Then there is the left wing labeler of all time, Janeane Garofalo. Apparently she considers herself quite the intellectual. Listen to this line of psycho babble in this interview on MSNBC where Ms Garofalo, labeled as an “activist” is interviewed:
Wow! Us poor redneck rasists! I wondered what was pressing against my frontal lobe…..But I digress……I say a big “Thank You” to Carrie Prejean, Miss California, for stating her opinion on marriage as the union of a man and a woman! It has been said in the media that she lost the crown because of her answer to this question. If that is true, then she deserves an even bigger thank you for her comments. It takes a lot of courage to give an opinion that could be politically incorrect with the knowledge that it could cost you the win. What Perez Hilton interprets as being ‘dumb’ is actually an individual with a moral compass and the fortitude to stick to her opinion.
What do we do now? As Ripley would say, “I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
