Miss CA and Perez Hilton Show Why America is in Trouble

By Suzanne Venker , Author - 11 Hours Ago

We are in deep trouble in this country, and I don't mean that as hyperbole; I mean it literally. It's one thing for traditional Americans to have to pander to the Left by pretending to think differently than they do, and quite another to choose not to pretend -- only to be condemned for being honest.

That's precisely what happened to Carrie Prejean, runner up in the recent Miss USA competition, who had the audacity to say on national television that marriage should be reserved for men and women. Forget our forefathers; I'd love to hear what people from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s would say about this debacle.

Here is a just a sampling of Perez Hilton's (the judge who asked the question about whether Ms. Prejean thinks the rest of America should follow in Vermont's footsteps by allowing same-sex marriage) comments:

"She gave THE WORST answer in pageant history."

"I would expected Miss CA to be prepared for the question."

"Miss CA was not the perfect Miss USA."

In an interview this morning, Matt Lauer asks Hilton what he, as a judge for the Miss USA pageant (I can't imagine what the qualifications are for such a position), is looking for from the contestants. "Do you want somebody who stands by her beliefs, or do you want someone who panders to judges?" asks Lauer. To which Perez answers, "Miss USA is somebody who should give the right answers."

And there you have it: the right answers. Now you need to pick up a copy of Tammy Bruce's The New Thought Police, if you haven't already -- and you'll learn what's behind this entire thing. Political correctness is an insidious form of thought control. It means publicly insisting something is true when you know in your heart it isn't. It means saying things you don't mean so people will like you.

Such is the mark of any good liberal. Modern liberals have been taught to believe that making value judgments -- not personal judgments, as in "I hate you because you're black or green or purple" -- but value judgments about what's best for society, is off limits. So Americans keep their mouths shut. They say very little about what they really think for fear of censure.

Then along comes this beautiful breath of fresh air in one Ms. Carrie Prejean, who's no doubt unhappy about her loss. Though she'll never know whether her politically incorrect answer cost her the crown, she has her suspicions. Lest she have her doubts, she has Perez Hilton to assure her that it's indeed because of her answer that she lost.

But her response to Matt Lauer when asked about the experience? "I knew I was not going to win because I had spoken from my heart. I was true to myself. I don't take back what I said." How wonderful to know such people still exist.

As for Perez Hilton, here's what he has to say about Carrie Prejean: "She's a dumb bitch."

I am not a pessimistic person by nature, but this one may just change that about me.

This sums up the relative quality of these two individuals. My only question is, why wasn't Perez properly vetted in the Judge selection process, or at least disqualified when his true self became known?

Gosh Water. Just when I thought there couldn't possibly be a bigger moron than Perez you post this nitwits ramblings. She's dumber than Asshat in a plastic bag.

It could be an across the board bias by the operators of the Miss USA pagent. They seemed pretty supportive of that idiot Perez.

Yeah, i gotta say because one flamer is a total douchebag doesn't mean liberals demand we always give 'the right answer'. Thats a page out of the Dano playbook. This Hilton dude is giving a bad rep to gays, too. He fits right into the stereotype that the anti-gay crowd envision of gays.
 
But it is more than them. It's the adulterers and adulteresses, the corrupt politicians, the pornography viewers and producers, ........ well, you get the gist. I could go on but won't.
 
Leaningright... I just don't see that as immoral. The viewpoint no longer even makes sense to me, that gays and pornography are immoral.

Porn, the explotation of women, is not immoral? Where is Darla and her feminist stichk when we need her?
 
I know water....but that is the difference between you and those who think like you and me and those who think like me. The difference between me and a lot of my crowd is that you won't see me at any rallies or protests as I choose to live my life and deal with what is dealt to me. The only thing that I will do to voice my opinion is vote, talk politics at the coffee shop and argue with you guys on this message board. By the way, thanks Damo for this outlet. :)

I think democrats and republicans alike are responsible for the state of the nation. I used to think the republicans were the morally superior party. Not anymore. They're just as bad in a lot of other ways than the democrats. So, like uscitizen I will vote for the lesser of two evils from now on......or place a protest vote like I did in the last election.

If gays and prono weren't immoral, then we would have a lot of gay porno.... and I'm soooo not cool with that. What next, gay Foot fetishes and Gay guys with strap on 'flashlights'?

This acurately describes me. It is the reason why I declined to be nominated to run for president of a College Republicans chapter. You need an activist to run a political club.
 
Questions of values can't be resolved logically. Which is why politics can't be logical; you can use logic to give a person reason to think that a policy contradicts their values, but how are values logical at all? And what should logic ultimately aim for if not values? How do you change values, and why are some values necessarily an improvement on others?
 
Yesterday I was sitting in class when someone mentioned the "craigslist killer" who had been ordering prostitutes off of craigslist and murdering them.

Then this middle-aged lady pipes in with "Serves them right!"

I sat aghast, horrified that anyone could think like that.

Most everyone else laughed at them and said "Oh, that's horrible!" but didn't really disagree with them too much.

Southern values here.

Many southern values suck.
Some are good.

Dems as well as reps around here keep talking about that damn muslim ni###r in the White house

See, here is another difference between me and those who might think (morally) like me. I think prostitution is wrong. I think it shouldn't exist but am not naive enough to think I can erradicate it. I think those who engage in prostitution (both the providers and the Johns) are immoral but I don't wish death on them. In fact I wish them to have a long enough life to realize that they are living immorally and make the necessary changes.
