She is absolutely right, political correctness is nothing more than control of free speech. All you libtards that think you have a constitutional right not to be offended, too bad you don’t.

Carrie… you are one class act.
God bless ‘ya !

Good for you, Ms. Prejean. It’s a nice change of pace to see someone reminding liberals that ideas such as freedom of speech they constantly preach lip service to apply to everyone – even straight white people.

The dirty perverted gay left in this country needs to be knocked off their feet and left to lie in the street. They don’t deserve to infiltrate our schools, our government, our military and our police force. Their opinions and agenda needs to be given a deaf ear and and ignored. Unfortunately, the democrat party is all about perversion and they have found a good home there.

Way to speak the truth! Let it be seen by everyone how the world makes martyrs for Christ even in the 21st century.

i WILL GO OUT OF MY WAY TO WATCH THIS NEXT YEAR. TRUMP MADE THE RIGHT/OBVIOUS DECISION. PEREZ HILTON SHOULD BE FIRED AND BE MADE TO APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING HER A BIT*% AND A CU#$.
GOD BLESS HER!

All that plus brains, too !!
Carrie rocks !!!!!

Good for you. Don’t let these libs influence your own personal belief.

So, she’s upset about exercising her right to speak freely, but not bothered about the right to equal treatment under the law? I’m confused about not only that, but also about the supposition that free speech means that everyone must agree with you. She was not punished by the government, but by the citizens. And that, my friends, is another form of free speech. Grow up, Carrie.

Brad, your questions are valid, but fail to stick to topic. The point is gays responded by mistreating her for her opinion, which was presented in a civil fashion, unlike all of the bashing of her.

As far as the pageant is concerned, she should have been judged on the delivery and grace of her answer, which was close to flawless. Instead, she was judged on the answer itself and whether or not a judge agreed with it. Perez overstepped his authority and then behaved in the most heinous way blasting her answer after the pageant, calling her names.

There is a serious dichotomy of behavior, and I am afraid the pro-gay forces have been found lacking in civility and grace. Marriage has already been defined. Create a new institution if you must, and ask for the aforementioned rights to apply to that institution. You will meet with MUCH less resistance.

You Go Girl! You represent many more people than the media would like to acknowledge. Your right to free speech has been violated. I give praise to Mr. Trump, not a favorite of mine, for not being led around by the media’s brass ring through his nose. Thank you, Mr. Trump, for upholding the freedoms of this “beautiful from the inside out” young lady.

My father fought in WWII, too. Shot three times for his country. He’s with the Lord now, for which I’m grateful. I don’t think he’d recognize this country anymore. It’s a sad day in America when we praise “diversity” for some but persecution for others.

She is right.

Brad, she was sabotaged. She wasn’t punished by the grassroots citizens, she was punished by the press and the gay agenda. You need to wake up to the “tolerance” your friends preach. You’re only tolerant if we agree with you. When we desent, you cry foul like little babies.

She had her right to her opinion. I didn’t ever hear her shove it down anyone else’s throat like the left and the media does. You’re a fool!

America has seen the Fascist Face of the Democrat Party and has rejected it.

She’s right.

You are right Carrie!

It’s time we all stand up to these PC-NAZI’s!

MOST OF AMERICA AND EVEN PRESIDENT OBAMA AGREES WITH YOU!

Your grandfather would be PROUD of you!!!

This dumb blonde wasnt SABOTAGED, she could have given a not so harsh judgemental answer, something like, its not my job to judge or its not my business, instead she took Gods job away from him and decided to start judging people on stage.

So, to love one person forever devoted regardless of sexual orientation= SIN

T0 POSE TOPLESS AND NUDE AS A TEEN AND AN ADULT, SLAPPING GOD IN THE FACE BY TELLING GOD HE DID A HORRIBLE JOB CREATING HER BREAST AND CHOOSING TO INSTALL MANS EVIL CREATION OF INPLANTS IN GODS TEMPLE OF HER BODY= CHRISTIAN MORALS

Honey – A lot of things shouldn’t be happening in America right now. Get used to it – it’s just gonna get worse.

Gays will NEVER get this, will they? It’s between a man and a woman! That’s what it means. Get your own Union with it’s own laws. Your unions are different in many ways and need their own attention. Are ya dumb or just being pushy morons?

i suspect there were a lot more people nodding their heads in agreement with her answer than shaking their heads in disagreement. but of course the media isn’t going to cover the millions of americans and the majority of states who don’t support gay marriage. she’s not exactly expressing some extreme minority opinion here…
good for her for not compromising her beliefs to win a beauty pageant. incidentally, who did win?

My vote – Put Perez and his buds on a slow boat to Iran where they know how to deal with his/her/it’s kind

I am proud of her. The left should be ashamed of the way that they have treated her. Wait…the left is a hateful bunch of drones who only believe in the first amendment when it relates to something they believe in.

Gay agenda? You guys are whacked on the Koolaid, but that aside, she’s a gumball. Just because she has a perverted ditzy view of the world and spoke her mind, doesn’t mean she should be stripped of her crown. It’s not her fault she’s a few bricks shy of a full load. Besides, that whirring sound she’s making is the sound of a lawsuit anyway. Trump didn’t have a choice.

Good!
About time someone shows they still have a backbone and a brain with their ‘reasoning’ abilities still intack.

But hey lets get back to laughing at crass jokes about wishing publicly for someones tortured ill health to the point of death, yeah yeah that’s the billing ticket of the day.

Thank you Carrie! Sorry you had to go through this. It’s a turning point in America and you did FANTASTIC!

Our once GREAT Nation is under FULL fledge attack from those who CHOOSE ON THEIR OWN NOT to join in our great society. The blame it all on race, bigotry, etc. It’s all BULLSHIT. The LARGE amounts of this group I mention are gays, blacks, muslims, hispanics, and other jelous, envious liberals who HATE America and her ways and use every excuse. NEVER will they win.

She’s right..but she’s still a stupid cu#$.

So, she’s upset about exercising her right to speak freely, but not bothered about the right to equal treatment under the law?

Brad: You don’t get it. Carrie expressed her belief that marriage was instituted long ago, way before our country existed. The reason it’s reserved for a man and a woman is because that’s how biological families are formed. And that’s what a marriage is. Two men or two women can’t have a bio-baby. They can adopt if they wish, but let them do so as part of a civil union. That’s “equal treatment under the law” to use your phrase. Human laws don’t trump (pun intended)nature. Carrie doesn’t need to “grow up”, she has wisdom way beyond her years. And I have no problem with her semi-nude pics. It gives us all an opportunity to admire one of God’s creations. And I mean that sincerely.

The Democrat Obama supporters hurled their poisonous militant-homosexual fascist hate speech at this woman because she does not agree with their every single word in life.

Democrats are a mix of hate-filled Stalinist NeoMarxist Fascism.

Clue – Democrats are NOT the end all be all in life, even though they seem to think they are.

America is getting sick of Democrats fast.

Right now joe the plumer sarah palin and many other americans have a smile in their face.It was about time someone got a happy ending from the leftwing attack machine.Not many are as lucky as miss california.The liberal media and the left have many more victims that didnt get their chance to speak out.

GOD BLESS YOU CARRIE! Keep standing up for what you believe. You are an inspiration to all of us!

you go girl!

My opinion is the same as Miss Prejeans on gay marriage, but I can’t see a freedom of speech issue.
No government entity was attempting to silence Miss Prejean, just people with opposing viewpoints regarding legitimizing sexual perversion.

Just whom are these homosexuals going on a rant? Homosexual men on average die between the ages of 42 to 47 years old compared to 78 for the normal American male. Suicide is common within the homosexual community. So how can this be a normal healthy lifestyle? It cannot be. According to statistics homosexual men tend to be much more violent than normal individuals–especially within the homosexual community. Homosexual men are 5 times more likely to perpetrate a sex crime against teenage males. They are predatory. Homosexuals chronically use drugs to fuel their perversion and seek as many anal/oral sex partners as possible mostly in multiple partner settings. This is why sexually transmitted diseases are rampant and spread fast with this group.

I say all this to point out that homosexuality was considered a psychological disorder by the American Psychiatric Association before a homosexual took the helm and changed the view that it is a mental disorder. All of the above evidence certainly supports that it is a mental disorder. The rant by Perez Hilton and the homosexual left is indicative of a mental illness. Miss US Pageant officials and Hilton should be sued big time by Miss Prejean for defamation of character and slander.

This woman is not only strikingly beautiful but she has courage. I for one am very proud of her and I wished she had won the whole thing. As far as that Gay Perez Hilton, well he is just a mouthy little pervert. Most of America beleives in tradiontal marriage. The left just needs to deal woth the fact that they are the minority when it comes to this subject!

Brad:

Free speech is one thing;but the gay community has employed bully tactics from the beginning and few of us like that. They run a risk of backlash when they get too intense; and that is absolutely the case here.

Whats happening in America is minority groups (racial and otherwise) for some strange reason draw the attention of the media more that the main stream. So a screaming, raving CS’er like Perez Hilton is allowed a double standard and thus can make life miserable for someone like Prejean.

Boycott NBC. Keep an eye on the rest.

So, to love one person forever devoted regardless of sexual orientation= SIN

T0 POSE TOPLESS AND NUDE AS A TEEN AND AN ADULT, SLAPPING GOD IN THE FACE BY TELLING GOD HE DID A HORRIBLE JOB CREATING HER BREAST AND CHOOSING TO INSTALL MANS EVIL CREATION OF INPLANTS IN GODS TEMPLE OF HER BODY
= CHRISTIAN MORALS

WHAT A PROUD DAY FOR CHRISTIANS ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY!!!

Stand PROUD Carrie, and remember WE are standing next to you.

I never had a problem with gays until now. They are setting themselves up as the enemy within and that isn’t a good place to be when you’re a minority.

Stop the intimidation and thuggish behavior. Behave decently and respect other people’s right to have a different opinion or your thuggishness will be returned, with interest.

Thanks for contributing Josh. Your intellect is stunning.

Mr. trump knows how to play the game, doesn’t he? He holds a press conference to announce his decision and the press is there clamoring to hear him. He’s a marketing genius. And on top of it all he makes the right decision. Its good for Miss Prejean too because she said what most in America believe and the leftists don’t like it.

I’m in full agreement with Carrie, and even though this has been difficult for her, am SO glad that this all happened in the full spotlight of the media. It has aired publicly and loudly the abject hatefulness and INtolerance of the liberal left to opinions outside of their own, and has shown everyone around the world the tip of the iceberg on the hate that resides within the hearts and minds of those spewing the horrendous names and disgusting comments about Carrie simply because she holds a tried-and-true belief that most Americans agree with. Even if she held this belief in the minority, she should never have been treated this way–she aired her view with respect and grace–not in hateful inflammatory headlines. Her treatment by the judges, the media, and the liberals simply shows the true colors of those screaming the loudest in this country. Hopefully some good will come of this, and people who have been supporting the liberal causes will finally see what they have been supporting–not catchy pc lines, but real–honest-to-goodness–hate–and they will withdraw that support asap. I’m glad that Carrie is such a strong woman–she has shown her true colors by remaining collected and respectful throughout this entire ordeal. Good for Trump for standing up for her.

amazing…all of you. this girl is programmed. every participant in these pageants is. you rail against gay marriage and embrace your right to objectify women. pretty abhorrent. i feel sorry for her. miss usa is the westminster kennel club for girls. it’s sad and wrong.

What a stupid lady…….

Gay marriage is not a civil rights issue. All gays can get married today. You just have to marry someone of the opposite sex. You know this thing called gender — an idea that goes back hundreds of millions of years.

Every gay man would sleep with Carrie Prejean. It might take a beer or 2. But they’d come away with a huge smile.

Love comes from getting to know another mind. All men call fall in love with women. And this would be good because men need women and women need men.

The idea that gay marriage is some civil rights issue analogous to what happened to blacks is ridiculous.

Thank you Carrie and thank you Mr. Trump!!

She has charisma and, more importantly, MORALS and STRENGTH OF CONVICTION. That makes her imminently more qualified than perhaps all Democrats and about four-fifths of Republicans.

Prejean comes up smelling like a rose in a bed of rats. Good for her.

Sigh’s post is spot on. Prejean answered that loaded question with civility and poise. The uproar from politically correct quarters has been the opposite of that. Mean spirited and–frankly–insipid.

Just as in Brad’s post demanding equal protection, this community wants absolute parity to actual marriage between a man and woman. What they don’t get is a man cannot help being a man nor a woman a woman. Being gay is not genetic (despite liberal wishful thinking), it is–if fact–a behavior, and a morally questionable one at that. Until the genome can be identified as in Down’s, affording this behavior equal rights opens a Pandora’s box for other behaviors masquerading as genetic moral imperatives and should be denied.

Like Obama and Prejean, I believe consenting adults can do what they like, but extending this particular privilege–marriage–is wrong. The politically correct attacks on her by the gay and liberal community have been and are–patently–un-American.

This back stepping by the pageant and some liberals is likely due to those who’ve written the sponsors and pageant officials expressing well deserved outrage. Keep it up.

I loved Trumps comment that Carrie held the same belief as Obama. I doubt you will see him criticized by the slobering adoring media types who attack Carrie. Small wonder most media outlets are losing money hand over fist….not FOX though. LOL !!! Suck it Olbermann & Shuster !!!

@look at the details
youre an idiot
rap videos dont pretend to honor women.
gay parades? isnt a parade a celebration?
free society = the right to be disgusted by someone elses opinion, and tell them so.

Sigh – Thanks for the civil response, one of the few on this post. Folks, freedom of speech allows me and you to say what we want (short of “fire!”). It doesn’t provide us with class or even mandate us to show poise and manners. For Carrie to be choked up about being punished means she has a fundamental misunderstanding of the Constitution like many of her generation that was not taught Civics: Freedom of speech also enables and protects your detractors. It is not “my” right to speech, it is ours. And there are classless ones amongst us that will respond to your use of our rights.

While we are on the topic Constitution, the 14th amendment guarantees that no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property and that no State shall make or enforce any law hwich shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens.

If we don’t protect what that document says, then we have nothing but a very short history as a country.

@ carlb
Yeah and what do the hip hop and other music vidoes do?
Honour women?
BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
oh and gay parades are any better?
This is not about beauty pagents per sey for me, but then again, I’m not a dictator kind of person, so I take the attitude of: they can do what they want if it’s legally permitted.
I can chose to watch, participate, or promote OR or none of the above.
That’s what living in a free society means. Sometimes most need to:
Mind your own damn business and stop making other’s business an ax to grind for your personal cause.

I used to be pretty agnotstic when it came to gay issues. Not any more. Where have these new liberals — neolibs! — come from??? My party was the party of high-minded harmony and tolerance. I don’t recognize these angry, hatefiled militant little fascists and are too scary to stay neutral any longer.

God bless her.

OK…Ms. Prejean is a little misinformed. The First Amendment does not mean you can go around, spout what ever your views are, and not suffer any consequences. When the Founding Fathers established the First Amendment, they were not thinking about Beauty Contestants being stripped of their crowns…They were talking about the President, a member of congress, or some other elected official using their power to inflict punitive measures against individuals speaking their minds. The Miss America Pageant has nothing to do about the First Amendment. It’s a private organization and they can operate it as they see fit.

If she would have stated her opinions, and the Congress made her testify on the Hill, or thrown her in jail, or had her audited by the IRS, then THAT is a first amendment issue. This is no difference than the Dixie Chics speaking out against George Bush and then getting upset and screaming First Amendment Rights because their former fans were destroying their CDs. The fans were executing their first amendment rights!

Everyone goes running to the military and the defense of freedom, but that doesn’t mean you can say anything you want, and not expect other’s to fire back. All the First Amendment does is prevent the government from censoring speech. If the Wall Street Journal prints something you, as a private citizen, does not agree with, then you can call for a boycott and protest them. However, the government does not have that same power.

Brad May 12th, 2009 – 12:54 pm

So, she’s upset about exercising her right to speak freely, but not bothered about the right to equal treatment under the law?

The law says one man and one woman giving adult consent, not related to each other too closely, of legal age.

Gays are welcome to get married under these laws. That is equal treatment.

What gays want is unequal treatment, to satisfy their perversions. No thanks. I gladly and proudly will vote against such anti-societal nonsense.

The disgusting, discriminatory and hate-filled comments in favor of the pageant queen on this page are a crystal clear example of the hate and bigotry that moves the right wing of this country. It is a sad day in America when a spoiled little beauty queen invokes the memory of the blood shed from her dead grandfather in war…all in an attempt to justify the fact that she is an anti-gay, discriminatory bigot. Yes, your grandfather died so you could have free speech, and no one stopped you from having that. Your grandfather also died for the rest of the world that does not believe in discrimination, who also had the right to call you out for being the bigot that you are. No one took away your rights. We simply exercised our own. For those of you on the fence of this issue…just look at these comments above. Do you really want to be part of this? Such a hate filled and dying breed of humans? I will never understand being gay. But nor will I ever understand people like this horrid, anti-American woman who believes that she is exercising her freedom by speech…by stating how she thinks another group of people should not get to enjoy the very same rights that she has…that her grandfather died for (as she weeps, give me a break.) Can I puke now? How truly twisted of an ideology.

She has more balls than Perez Hilton..

If anyone should have been punished it was the judge. He should be banned from ever judging another contest again. He is biased and has an agenda. His question never should have been allowed in the first place.

Freedom of speech is under attack. The left define tolerance as “you agree with us or else.” So if anyone disagrees with them, they resort to name calling. If someone wants to be gay, that is there choice – just don’t try to cram it down my throat or my kids’ throats.

This woman has spoken the truth. I applaud Trump for standing by her on this. It’s nice to see common sense return, even if it is for just a moment.

Bravo. Very well said. Definitely from the heart and I could not agree with her more.

The REASON for there being TWO genders is…? People like Perez Hilton are truly irrelevant so please, NEVER HIDE your distaste for them. I spit on Perez Hilton and his hate filled mind.

[...] original here: Carrie Prejean on Free Speech Firestorm: ‘This Should Not Happen in America’ Filed Under: Latest News [...]

I have seen posts here saying that gays mistreated her for her comments. And that they need to be more civil about their struggles. But, yet almost every post on here is very anti gay, to the extent of “gay left in this country needs to be knocked off their feet and left to lie in the street”, and “blast all fags”. She is right, part of what makes this country great is the ability to speak your mind. You have to understand though, if you do speak your mind, it will have results one way or the other. It was a stupid quesiton to even be asked, and I have no problems with her answering the way she did. I do not agree with her answer, but hat is my opinion. I also appreciate the fact that she is able to keep her crown. I however can not accept the answer that she lost the title because of her answer. She has to accept that the answer she gives is going to be taken into consideration. She did show grace under fire by sticking to her answer, but that does not mean she should win the contest. I also believe that if she is going to take the moral high ground, she needs to appolegise for posing nude, and having breast implants paid for by the pageant program. If she is going to take the moral high ground, she is going to open herself up for judgement. Simply by entering the pageant, you open yourself up for judgement. I am a christian myself. I am apparently going to hell though because I do not beleive gay mariage is a sin. I also eat shell fish though, and wear clothes made of two different materials, but nobody ever criticizes me for that. As a Christian, we are supposed to spread the word. Right now, look at your message that you are spreading. Is it forgiveness, and leading by example, or is it judging and making yourself a sex symbol? To sum it up, I have no problem with her as a person, or with her answer. She is intitled to her opinion, but people should not put her up on a pedistal. I also agree, Perez Hilton is a joke and should not be taken seriously. He should have never asked the question in the first place. It was a lose lose situation for her.

Has anyone asked WHY Perez Hilton was made a judge in the first place? If you know his career and modus operandi, which I’m sure most do not, he has been devoted to exposing any privately known homosexual in the entertainment community and then sells this information to the tabloids for public consumption. What then qualifies this type of person and his means of income to be a Miss USA Pageant judge? I hold the pageant administration responsible for such an incredibly horrific choice in a judge, not Perez himself – he is what he is. What were they expecting, fluff and decorum from Hilton? Might have been a calculated move by the pageant admin to obtain publicity from the get-go. Just a thought…

Carrie, I support you 100 %!

God Bless You!!!

Thanks for being a brave lady and standing up to the Fascists.

Folks- this is only the tip of the iceberg!

The liberal fascists, supported by the liberal media, mindless Hollywood Obamabots, and the sad ignorance and apathy of the US citizenry are gaining more and more power, just like in Nazi Germany.

Once fascism takes hold, it is very difficult to shake it off, because fascist/radicals will do almost anything to shut up their opposition- lie, cheat, steal, and even murder.

With an utterly incompetent, ultra radical socialist in the White House, things are going to get a LOT worse, before they get better (if ever).

Thank You! And God Save Us!

“She gave a very honest answer when asked a tough question,” Trump said with Prejean sitting next to him in attendance. “It was the same answer the president of the United States gave… She has to be commended.”

So where is the hatred and outrage against Obama? If Miss Cali is a a hater of gays (according to the twisted logic of the left) then Obama and the majority of Californians that voted against gay marriage all must hate gays.

The silence is sickening.

Put a stop to this liberal thugocracy!!!!! Put a stop to this madness perpertrated by the media and a hand full of thugs in politics, put a stop to this America, if not your voice will be culled. America wake up the normal people in this country time has come to wake up be heard and be counted as this is what our founders would want, this is what it means to be an American!!!

Might I remind Miss California and the readers here that the 1st Amendment restrains the government from infringing on the right of an individual to share his opinions. It does not, however, protect that individual from the consequences that he might face from other individuals or private organizations for those opinions. Miss California made a controversial statement and she is quite naive if she thought there would be no reaction to it. Still, she is being allowed to keep her crown. How is she being punished? There is no Constitutional Amendment which requires others to agree with or even respect her opinion.

What a joke.

The liberal community should be ashamed of themselves. Here we have a young girl who was asked a question, one in which requires her to give an honest answer, and instead because she disagrees with those promoting alternative lifestyles, she should have just backed down and said it wasn’t her place to judge??? F*** that! Each of you are entitled to your opinion the same as the rest of us and should not recieve any backlash for doing so. More importantly, it should not have robbed her of the crown just because some people on the panel’s feeling were hurts. I’m wondering if she would have won had her answer been what the “gay” panel wanted to hear.

The first amendment protects free speech from government regulation or interference. How exactly has the government regulated or interfered with Ms. Prejean’s freedoms?
I also find it ironic that that she wants the government to continue to deny a civil right to others (i.e. the right to enter into a specific type of contractual relationship), but when those others criticize her about it, she complains about her rights being violated. Does she think that only people who share her opinions are entitled to free speech?

I’m sorry did I miss the fact that she was jailed for what she said? Or did other people use their constitutional rights in criticizing what she said? Or does she feel it’s her constitutional right to say anything she wants with no consequences? I don’t believe her rights were infringed on just because she didn’t get the crown.

Brad brings up the most undeniable argument in this whole mess. She utilized her rights of free speech, and so did the people. She can think or say whatever she wants. So can the judges.

So if then Perez should never be a judge again, so be it. But she was not “Punished,” as she puts it. She is getting more publicity then the woman who actually won the pageant! I don’t even KNOW who won, all I know is this woman’s name splattered all over every paper and news outlet, all day long.

Also, it’s really disheartening to see the people commenting saying things like “Fags” etc. Do you still use the N word for blacks? Maybe call your Hispanic friends Wetbacks? You have a right to say those words, and I, and hopefully most other people, have the right to be absolutely disgusted that you do.

This is not an issue of free speech… the government was not involved.

She is so right. I have a lot of friends I disagree with on issues but I don’t try to destroy them. We do have freedom of speech in this country. She was asked a question and gave her answer. Perez Hilton is the one that should be told he will NEVER be a judge again for the way he reacted to her answer. Marriage IS defined as between a man and woman. If gays feel they should be ‘married’, come up with another name. I sure would hate to be raising children in today’s society. They are going to be so confused. ‘Why do I like a girl and he likes a boy? Am I wrong? Vise versa…..Sad.

If I was a beauty contestant and was asked the same question in today’s environment I would have said:

Hell, I definitely don’t support it. I think that homosexuality is a biological aberration. Furthermore, I think for the good of our nation, these homosexuals should stay in the closet when appropriate, and bear their burden honorably. And again furthermore, I feel very sorry for those who are have been born this way, and I am disgusted with those who have chosen to be this way.
And furthermore, should homosexuals be granted the term “marriage” or “civil unions”, then I think that the same should be extended to those that wish to marry their brother, or both their brothers. or their sister for that matter. After all, and as the gays would say “equal protection for all of us”.

Pretty crude but my opinion and freedom to express this.
(Is homo a bad word now??)

Kyle,
Wow! I was going to respond but you pretty much said everything that I was thinking. Thanks for saving me time.

I would like to add one detail, however. Those of you who think that she did such a great job with her answer should take time to read the ENTIRE answer. In case you missed it, here it is:

“Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.”

I have no problem with where she ended. That is her opinion and she is entitled to it. The first part is utter nonsense. “Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other”. Huh? They are? I thought that the whole debate that is going on right now is IF Gays can choose “one way or the other”. Clearly that is NOT the case in most states. She then follow it with a more ridiculous, “We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage”. Really? I don’t think so. That was the gist of the question that you were asked. Also, I never thought of marriage between a man and a woman as “opposite”. I will not even attempt to decipher the “in my country, in my family” part. What clearly happened to her is that she was talking to fill up time while her brain formulated an answer. Unfortunately her brain didn’t catch up to her mouth until the end when she actually gave a pretty good answer.

The right girl won and it wasn’t her.

Yvonne (and others) seem to reinforce the double standard that is enforced. She spoke her mind about believing that marriage is a man and a woman. So those who disagree with her by telling her she has no right to judge other people because there are topless photos of her. In fact, she is not judging other people, she is expressing her opinion and belief. The irony is that those who disagree with her are calling her morally incapable of saying she doesn’t believe in gay marriage because of the photos. By their standards she can write off their argument for gay marriage because she finds it to be against her moral tenet. Don’t you just love hypocrisy? The stance her opponents take is akin to the person who practices bestiality calling the pedophile morally reprehensible.

Looks like the GOP has found their running mate for Palin.

Her freedom of speech does not trump our freedom to deride her opinions. Free to speak, mandatory to accept the consequences. Now go back to being dumb, pretty and quiet, like women should be. (Boy I sure hope my outdate opinion doesn’t offend anyone in this public forum.)

Most people would have caved. Miss California has a spine and has proved her self to be more of a statesman than almost every member of Congress.

Common Sense Rules

Two things about this really piss me off. The fact that the left shouts down everyone who they disagree with, and ever site that post her naked pics blacks out her nipples.

So, do this mean that the liberal left isn’t about “tolerance” after all? And does this mean that they were using their own definition of the word “tolerance” to further their own political purposes, meanwhile really having no concern whatsoever for being “tolerant” of those who had ideas different from them? Who woulda thunk it?

NEVER let others foist their own definitions for words upon you. He who defines the terms controls the debate!

I’d hit it.

@Andrew

Of course not. Your argument supposes though, that gay folk are genetically that way. A fact which would be pivotal to such an argument. Presently, gay behavior is just that–behavior–so extending the institution of marriage has no basis insofar as your reasoning is concerned. In fact, you point out the fundamental flaw in the gay marriage argument. Thank you.

would you all agree w/ her had her comments been “i think marriage should be restricted to white people”?

@Zac

Well, you’re wrong. It is exactly about free speech. Ms. Prejean was asked a question in a pageant. Her answer was honest, respectful, principled and poised. This reply clearly cost her the contest and raised the disproportionate ire of the politically correct goon squad, now bent on smearing this young lady at every turn.

Don’t think so? Then what news have you been wattching? First off the attacks were pure ad hominem, then they found a photographer who shot some clandestine shots at a lingerie shoot. When that didn’t stick, due the winner of the pageant having near pornography published in Maxum, then they tried a “breach of contract” approach, taking time out to attack those who support this young lady by shouting, “Shame!”. You’re defending some real class acts.

For an organization run by an adulterer (Trump) and judged by a sodomite (Perez), I don’t think they’ve any moral ground to stand on. Undoubtedly they’ve been getting a volume of angry communications which–rightfully–point out their hypocrisy and un-American behavior. All aimed at a participant in a contest ostensibly designed to feature the virtues of American womanhood.

To characterize the poisonous vitriol of the left as a free speech reaction by the “people” is disingenuous. The “people” didn’t have speech, only the left wing celebrities and politically correct zealots, the liberal media saw to this. The people did speak, you just never saw it. They e-mailed and wrote Ms. USA Inc. who came apart like a cheap suit. Ms. USA Inc. understands that the opinion of a few vacuous liberal celebrities might count for something, but the tens of thousands of outraged “people” who actually let em have it, might put an end to their shenanigans. That–Zac–was free speech at it’s finest. Also a part of this story you’re not likely to see reported.

Now, what I wonder is, does that near pornographic photo shoot of the winner for Maxim mean that Ms. Prejean can be moved up into the top spot she should have had the first time around. Poetic justice would be well served should that turn of events ever occur.

This isn’t about free speech. This isn’t a government-run pageant for Christ sake! Give me a break!

How was she ‘punished’? Not winning Ms. America? Do the judges HAVE TO vote for her?

You guys are doing a lot of whining– The same thing you accuse liberals of doing. You’re whining because a beauty pageant idiot didn’t get voted miss America because she disagreed with gay marriage.

WHO CARES!!!

Is she running for governor, mayor, city council?

NO!

She’s in a beauty pageant run by GAY MEN!!! HELLO!!!???

What the he11 did she think was going to happen. Morons– The lot of you.

Go Carrie, you are speaking for alot of Americans who could only wish to have your public forum. Thanks for being honest, and don’t take any prisoners. You are exercising your freedom of speech, which lib wack jobs (who are the tolerant ones, ya my arse) are trying to stop. Go get’em

I am so proud of Carrie Prejean for standing up for her right to freedom of speech. And may the little nasty-mouthed pervert who tried to destroy this American woman get runs in his panty hose and cysts on his ovaries. Scumbag!!

Crush Dissent?

YES, We Can!

You said it yourself Gandhi, this is a judged competition. It is up to the judges to decide who should be the top spot. It is their opinion, and their freedom of choice to choose that person. If you change their vote, you are taking away their freedom of choice, and smacking down everything here that you claim to stand for. Have you ever watched America’s Funniest Home Videos? Do you agree with every winner? Do you think the judges should have picked a different winner? Probably, because everyones opinion is different. If you agree with the judges decision or not, it is their decision, and their choice. They will not strip Miss America of her title, just as they did not strip Miss America of her title in 2006. The pageant comittee has a solid reputation for standing behind their contestants. I think more organizations should take this approach. Don’t worry though, the Replublicans will make a star out of Carrie, she has nothing to worry about. She and Joe the Plummer will be hosting events together before you know it.

Good for her!

She was punished Matt. Quit being a idiot with your head in the sand. That was the dumbest comment I’ve seen yet

Brad whines, “She was not punished by the government, but by the citizens.”

No Brad. She was punished by the mainstream media, which is in bed with the Leftist government.

Funny how in just the last few years, gays have been having one hissy fit after another about wanting to be able to marry. Funny because,up until then, gays were decidedly AGAINST marriage. Guess what? Gays STILL find marriage boring; they simply want to jump on the bandwagon leading towards absolute social destruction and choke marriage until its dead. That’s the real agenda.

When the day comes when I can myself decide whether the nomenclature ’straight’ is what I want to call myself; when the day comes when I can participate in a heterosexual pride parade w/impunity; when gays admit that the ‘marriage’ question is socially destructive agenda driven .. not driven by an honest desire to marry .. when that day arrives, I’ll consider the whole discussion around ‘gay rights’ a whole lot more honest. Meanwhile, stop your whining.

Pff… what a ditz. Yes, you have the freedom to say what you want to, but others have the freedom of speech to criticize you for it.
