My Hero, Carrie Prejean


Where to start? I have been flummoxed in choosing a subject on which to write. Many troubling events are taking place in this country that provoke thought and comment. It took Carrie Prejean, Miss California, to clear the air. 

The travesty that took place at the Miss USA Pageant may be a glance into the politically correct World desired by Mr. Obama.  After all, look at the overtures made and accepted by Mr. Obama recently. I believe Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Raul Castro, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad each represent some form of dictator, fascist, or tyrant; each has murdered his own people as an act of forced subjugation. Intolerance rules in the World of the Politically Correct, as long as the anger is directed at a contrary opinion or an expression of traditional values. While the Left protects First Amendment speech for artists who display urination on an image of Christ, expression of a traditional value is condemned.

The openly gay judge, Perez Hilton, made clear his contempt for Miss California: his right. He called Carrie a "dumb bitch" because she expressed an opinion. Why? Because this woman had the audacity to support heterosexual marriage as her "Biblically correct" belief. While Mr. Hilton demands tolerance for his lifestyle and activism, he is intolerant of others. Might he be a hypocrite? Bigot? Hate monger? You bet-all of the above. An author and fool by the name of Bensen appeared on O'Reilly tonight and stated unequivocally that anyone who disagrees with any gay rights issue is a bigot!

The issue presented here is not that of gay marriage. It goes to the issue of tolerance, acceptance of diverse opinion, and the founding values of our Nation? The tragedy that is the closed mindedness of Mr. Hilton most stop. I can only hope that individuals like Carrie Prejean grow in number.
