what a circus

I think this whole Miss California speaking out against gay marriage thing is hilarious.

For me, it's really not even about the issue itself. I don't care that much about which side anyone falls on the gay marriage issue. I can see arguments for both sides and it's not an issue I'm all that passionate about. We, as a society, have "dumbed down" marriage to the point where it's pretty meaningless by itself. Some celebrities have marriages that last about as long as a movie run. Much like getting a certificate for completing some training course for work...when everyone gets one regardless of effort, things tend to lose a lot of their value, or as Shakesphere said, "too light winning makes the prize light." The only way marriage becomes worth something is if the two people involved make it worth something. What I do find hilarious is some gay guy, asking the gay marriage question of a beauty pageant contestant in a competition. He was obviously trying to push his own agenda and expecting a politically correct answer from some young lady afraid to say anything else for fear of losing the competition. He was using this forum, that wasn't his, to get an endorsement from someone he didn't know. What he got was his issue shoved back in his face. So much for abusing a nationally televised stage to push your own selfish cause. I just like the fact that she showed some cahones bigger than his and didn't compromise her beliefs just to appease some judge. She didn't try to abuse a national TV audience to push her opinion. She was asked, and when asked, she was honest.

I don't know where all this is headed, and I don't really care, but I applaud her for that much.

Now the liberals are on the attack, trying to make her out to be a right wing nut job, because she doesn't toe their line. They made sure tabloid websites got some "racy" pictures she posed for, calling her a hypocrite. OK, she posed for pictures no more revealing than stuff you see on this website, or in a J C Penney lingerie ad in the J'ville fishwrap. They attack her because they can't be tolerant of opinions that differ from their own....as they demand tolerance. Yet another example of the great liberal rule...freedom of speech is a great thing, as long as you say what I think you should say.
