A discussion with Clayton Morris and Mike Huckabee about Miss California (Carrie Prejean), the pageant, and the real intolerance (Perez Hilton). Mike is right on the money about Perez Hilton. At least Huck knows how to be classy when he is slamming the intolerant Left! "She has been everything that he has not been," Mike says about Perez.

Perhaps with Iowa's new progressive stance on equal rights and allowing the marriage between same-gender couples, I think it could easily be taken one more step: I can finally be allowed to marry the love of my life, my best friend Moochie, and be allowed to not have to live in sin by sleeping with my sweetie pie puppy cake (TMI). I'm just sayin'..read more | digg story
Bottom line, [Perez Hilton] said, Miss USA should be politically correct. In other words, there's no room for dissent on "gay" marriage. Even the pageant director said, "Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family." Some family – populated by mind-numbed robots who are only allowed to speak approved opinions and language."read more | digg story
It's driving Perez Hilton nuts that Carrie Prejean is receiving all sorts of favorable media attention from a bunch of "dimwitted" conservative talk-shows and bloggers. How dare these people applaud this woman? He should get the attention, not her. He is clueless that Miss Prejean may have lost the battle but won the war, and kept her integrity.

While many in Hollywood ridicule her, scores of Americans are now applauding Miss California's stance against same-sex marriage – including one Alabama lawmaker who drafted a resolution supporting her. At Sunday night's Miss USA pageant, Carrie Prejean was asked the one question she dreaded most, and her answer brought her both scorn and praise. From the article:
But while many Hollywood actresses stand by Hilton and condemn the beauty queen for her beliefs, one lawmaker is has drafted a resolution in support of the courageous contestant.
State Rep. Jay Love, R-Montgomery, told the Montgomery Advertiser that there are those "telling people what they can believe and what they can say," which he believes is wrong.
He said Prejean is being ridiculed and punished for refusing to support a lifestyle that goes against her beliefs.
"I don't believe that's right," Love said.
He said he applauds her for not compromising her beliefs by giving a politically correct answer.
The bill was introduced Tuesday and every member of the House Republican Caucus and some Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors.
However, State Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, said the resolution cannot pass because he claims Miss California is associated with right-wing organizations and supports discrimination. [Emphasis mine]
"I am not for the Alabama Legislature honoring her in any kind of way," Holmes said. [Continue reading]
Posted: July 10, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Have you ever had a moment of truth? Have you ever faced a situation where your response could either cost you your worldly dreams or dishonor your fundamental core beliefs? Have you ever had to choose between honoring God or conforming to the world? I haven't had much to say about Carrie Prejean's "moment of truth" at the Miss USA pageant. But recently I heard her explain her experience in that contest – and it made an impression on me. The first time I saw her respond to the question that caused so much controversy, I was, shall we say, less than impressed. I thought she waffled. She started out on one track, attempting, it seemed to me, to split the difference on the issue of same-sex marriage. "Speechless: Silencing the Christians," by Don Wildmon, lays out determined strategy of coalition of liberal secularists, homosexual activists and Fortune 500 companies Perez Hilton: "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?" Prejean: "Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And, you know what, in my country and in my family I think that I 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 that's how I think it should be – between a man and a woman." Within minutes of that show being aired, I was literally inundated with e-mails from people who saw it and were proclaiming Miss California a hero. I watched it a few times and couldn't see what they were seeing. To me it sounded like she was trying to have it both ways. However, the reaction to her statement was strong – on both sides of the issue. In fact, that is a gross understatement. Carrie Prejean was virtually crucified for her expressing a preference for traditional marriage. She was insulted, vilified, and her politically incorrect answer cost her the crown. She was later stripped of her Miss California crown, too, by people who have no business running a beauty pageant – just as the homosexual activist blogger who asked the question had no business being a judge.
