Carrie Prejean, Miss California gets to keep her crown after all, apparently Donald Trump did not want to take on James Dobson ET AL. I happen to disagree with her opinion, but applaud her for not backing down. That said, her crown and title were in jeopardy for the risque photos, which was a violation of her contract, which apparently are ok with Mr. Trump. My problem in all of this, first off, I am blogging about it, second, is that she is relishing as a right-wing darling. She has the adoration of the Right-Wing 24/7 bigotry news in Fox, and then appeared on James Dobson's radio show. Dobson is one who suggested that "showering with your son will prevent him from being gay", yeah that sounds like a strategy. In the interview, she stated she felt Satan was tempting her, and "God was in her head". Didn't we have another high profile American talk about God speaking to him? And it caused a war?Having this debate with friends, I took the Thom Hartmann route, and asked, "at what point in your life did you know you were straight?" The response was iffy at best, but most came up with about 7. I was then confronted about how "it is just not natural!", well...how is it not for two people to fall in love. As a straight man, it feels natural for me to fall in love with, and be attracted to women.While I have gone to gay clubs over the years with friends, I never saw a Gay couple and said "Ya' know, that looks pretty good", yet, I cannot push my beliefs on the LBGT community.
Further, my guess is her troubles are mounting associating with the likes of Fox and the Dobson's of the world. The hypocrisy is lit up like it's the 4th of July. The GOP mantra is "smaller Government" , and "personal responsibility" and "Obama is eroding our rights", but only if they can peek into your bedrooms. The right is horrified that 5 states have taken the appropriate steps to grant the same rights we have to the gay community, and vilified the future Sarah Palin. Worse, she is young enough, dumb enough, and Gosh darn it, some of us really don't like you.

Appearing on the show of James Dobson? James "Focus on the Phallus" Dobson? A supposedly "family-friendly" show after taking those sexy pictures?
ReplyDeleteWow, the right-wingers really ARE desperate for attention. Look as I throw thirty silver coins their direction. Shiny, shiny...!
Maybe she could hook up with the former mayor of Washington DC for a little drugs to go with her porn.
ReplyDeleteThey both see eye to eye on gay marriage.
Although I find the fact that this personal freedom is NOT an issue with most blacks disturbing. After all, a beauty queen and a bunch of old white men may not have had personal experience with discrimination, but blacks should know better.
Marion Barry “Cracks” Me Up./
David, I agree. As I said, the idea that she is running to Fox and James Dobson is pathetic. As far as Prop 8, I still believe the language used on the ballot was misleading. As far as her pics,well now even more came out. So she violated her contract twice (and counting)_
ReplyDeleteThe wording was confusing in both directions.
ReplyDeleteSad part is a large black turnout hurt prop 8. Blacks tend to vote very conservatively on moral issues.
The churches hold too much sway in the black community.
