I actually prefer her to Miss Cali on pure aesthetics, for what it’s worth.

Seriously bad judgment, I’d have to say.

But aren’t so many attacking Hilton for expressing his beliefs?

Wow Dude, you are really starting to put on the hypocrite, aren’t you? Didn’t you start this thread by sort of condemning what he said?

I wondered when you’d come around.

Yes, and like. Ughh… My husband and I are constantly telling our children to stop saying ‘like’. They are pretty good compared to their friends, but it is easy to slip into the ‘like’ mode, because it is lazy. I drove for a 5th grade field trip a couple weeks ago and I wished I’d had ear plugs. I could hardly stand the conversation.

kid 1: “And I was like, he’s like an awesome rapper but not a cool dude, and she was like yeah you know, like it isn’t cool to hit a girl…”

kid 2: “Yeah, totally not cool.”

kid 3: “Oh, I know. He’s like totally a jerk.”

*sigh* And they don’t even live in the valley. They are not stupid children, but they really can sound it. Of course, some of the parents and even teachers are pretty bad.

Obviously, Obama and many other politicians opposition to gay marriage is rather marginal, and will change to support when the polling supports gay marriage in a decade or less

So Obama lies about his real position on gay marriage to maintain political advantage. Miss CA tells the truth about her position even though it costs her the crown. And probably 50% of this country has more respect for HIM than for HER. Being PC about gay marriage is held as a higher virtue than honesty and personal integrity. What a sad state we are in as a culture.

do not believe obama when he says he believes marriage is for one man and one woman. it’s a farce.

Obviously, Obama and many other politicians opposition to gay marriage is rather marginal, and will change to support when the polling supports gay marriage in a decade or less. This is the good part of following the polls. They are simply representing the will of the majority on an issue which the will of the majority is changing. Let’s trust the American people on this one.

The issues which politicians need to stick to principles are economic and foreign policy: economic because we shouldn’t dilute free enterpise on a whim or a bailout and foreign policy because need to stand up to the bullies and the thugs or we’ll get our asses kicked.

Miss California.

Irena Sendler went up and received God’s Reward last year. That’s the one that matters. Screw the Nobel “Peace” Prize!

Blake at 10:38

IIRC, Ms. Sendler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and lost…are you ready for it?? To the Goracle

On Sunday night, I was watching the Hallmark special about the World War II Polish nurse who bravely saved 2,500 Jewish children from a group more intolerant than gays.

BuckeyeSam on April 22, 2009 at 4:52 PM

Irena Sendler! Her and her posse smuggled over 2,000 children out of the Warsaw Ghetto until Irena was captured and tortured by the Gestapo. They tortured her, they broke her legs, but she didn’t tell them where she hid the children.

93 years old and still Hawt!

His beliefs are fascist. Miss California’s are not.

The gay marriage debate isn’t going to be resolved with answers like this.

maleman on April 22, 2009 at 6:57 PM

Something tells me that Miss California never set out to resolve the gay marriage debate. I think she was forming a pc response and her conscience got the best of her and she ditched the pc garbage and decided to just gave an honest response.

JetBoy on April 22, 2009 at 4:43 PM

If that man cannot express his ‘beliefs’ in any more intelligent way than the degrading stupidity he has shown, your cause is lost.

New Miss USA: I’m totally pro-gay marriage

Tell me then, Miss Gay Dhimmi USA, if Muslims instead of Gays had been in control of the judging would you be for sharia, burkas, child brides and “honor” killings? If Nazis, the other brand of fascists from the gay brand of fascists, would you have been in favor of gas chambers and ovens?

My strong guess would be yes, on both.

Like omigod like who cares about the opinion of a beauty pageant winner?

Oh, Hotair does. Wow that is like so amazing.

Dave Rywall on April 22, 2009 at 5:11 PM

Like Dave, like, when it’s, like, politics, we, like, care.

Since all Ms. USA contestants must now support gay marriage as a political litmus test, I could care less about the contest.

That’s pretty harsh and frankly smacks of intolerance the way you phrased it. Maybe for some, the issue is more about protecting the sanctity of marriage and not wanting to re-define the term. Otherwise, GLBT’s have the right to live their life the way they see fit. I hope Miss USA is right and Miss California does get to wear the crown, Go Baby Go.

I’m sorry if it sounds “intolerant” to you, but too many people have already sold their souls to the devil for a piece of today’s fame and fortune. If you believe this or that, you’re part of the in-crowd. Otherwise, you are a pariah.

This girl probably thought the same way as the other girl – before college, perhaps. She KNOWS, as well as everyone else, that you have to be P.C. nowadays to become a notable “somebody.” If you want to win the hearts and minds of the elites, you must talk, think, and act as they do. She’s just playing the game with the best of them.

Miss CA refused to do so, and for that, she’s now “unacceptable” in today’s fashionable and elite society. But she has a better future ahead of her, and a much better Hope to rely on – and a better and higher “fashion contest” to pass. She will not change that for the love of the world.

Miss CA is now a pariah, a “b____” in Hilton’s parlance. Guess what? So am I. I’d rather be outside the camp than inside “the club.”

If that makes me “intolerant”, I’ll accept that as my fate.

Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other.

Well, some can choose one or the other, depending on what state they live in. Does she think it’s great that others aren’t able to based on their state residency?

Um, we live in a land that you can choose same sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and in, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman,” Carrie said to a mix of boos and applause.

Talk about a weak statement. I think I believe? What does that mean?

No offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think that it should be between a man and a woman.

Again, you would have to be stupid not to understand that this statement is offensive. Any time you say “No Offense, But”, rest assured you are about to offend someone, and you know it beforehand, and you go ahead with it anyway.

The gay marriage debate isn’t going to be resolved with answers like this. Any argument that starts from your personal experience and extends to someone else’s relationship will never gain traction, just as someone else rejecting your relationship as wrong would be discarded and ignored by you.

Does that make you better than Perez Hilton, or the same?
