Called Into Action

I've been absent from the blogging scene for a while and I know it has been difficult for all my loyalists, but something has really crawled under my skin the last few days. Last weekend at the Miss USA pageant (which is a huge joke to begin with), Miss California, Carrie Prejean had the title locked up. She was leading the competition going into the final round of interviews. A random question was pulled for her to answer. The question she was given was submitted by one of the judges a one Perez Hilton. Not the same as the dumb blond, this is the snarkiest, most mean spirited bloggers on earth. This guy happens to be gay, which I'm personally not a supporter of but he has his rights, but he is extremely flamboyant and aggressive about his lifestyle. The question he submitted was “Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?” There is absolutely no way a person can answer that question without repercussions. This young lady is a student at a christian college in San Diego and her exact response was"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised." On the spot, in the heat of the moment, nobody could have done a finer job. She was articulate and I think very respectful. Well Hilton didn't see it that way and gave here a 0 for her score. She ended up losing by just a few points all because she had a belief and stuck to her guns

Now comes the storm. Every idiot in Hollywood is ripping her to shreds because of what she said. Can you imagine if the tables were turned and a conservative judge gave a 0 to contestant with the opposite opinion. But like most liberals, free speech is only important when people agree with what you say. The incredible thing is she is representative of the majority. Take a look how Prop 8 turned out. But the minority is calling her a radical ignorant christian. Isn't the definition of ignorance not listening to or supporting a persons right to say something that opposes another person's opinion. Lately, the vocal minority, with backing from Hollywood, has tried to influence policy so they can look like the saviors of the disenfranchised. The only problem is, most of America doesn't support their radical viewpoints but when we try to speak out, we are labeled as backwater, uneducated rednecks that pray at the altar of Coca Cola and call dinosaurs Jesus horses.

I am amazed that people can still amaze me. Every time I turn on the news, there is another story of a lawsuit by some hippie liberal that feels the need to punish Joe the plumber for having a job that disposes of waste rather than composting it. I'm so proud that even though Miss Prejean knew her answer would be received like Chuck Norris at the DNC, she proudly stood up for not only her beliefs, but for the majority of Americans that love this country and the freedoms that are so often taken for granted.
