PostHeaderIcon Prejean drops her Miss California Crown

6/14/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post




The 22 year-old Miss California who is battered and reviled because her opinion doesn’t jibe with that of some contest officials doesn’t really feel so bad being stripped of a crown. Ms. Carrie Prejean is probably more beautiful than the California beauty title. The fiesty lady, ever more popular, gracefully faced the media to explain why she lost her title---more as an offshoot of standing up for what she believes in.

A victim of a political firestorm that is not of her own making, Prejean lost in the Miss USA 2009 contest for asserting that marriage is between and a man and a woman. This angered gays and lesbians who campaign to legalize same-sex union in California.

Fortunately for the young beauty queen, most citizens of her state support her views and even the Pres. Barack Obama agrees. The pretty lady, a supporter of Proposition 8 which bans gay marriage, bravely advices women to stand against harassment. She said they must not be intimidated to stand up for truth and what they believe in.

Defending the side of Prejean, the California State Supreme Court recently ruled against the legalization of same sex unions in the Golden State. (Photo Credit: NewsYahoo.com; maCalifornia) =0=

It was disappointing for the people who want to demolish her. Carrie Prejean, current Miss California stirred a fire storm when she expressed her deeply held belief that marriage is between a Mary and John, not between Pierre and Peter or Laura and Lally.

Exercising her opinion at 2009 Miss USA pageant three weeks ago, Prejean angered a contest judge who didn't agree---preventing her from winning the beauty title. Her critics, mostly rabid supporters of same-sex marriage agenda want to punish her further by working to strip her of the Miss California title. But most of America believes she didn't do anything wrong in expressing herself. An overwhelming majority who supports her recalled she didn't mean to hurt anyone when she answered from her heart.

Today, Donald Trump, owner of the franchise of the beauty pageants and playing the referee ruled that Carrie must be allowed to be Miss California. In a reaction speech the fiesty beauty queen repeated her commitment to say what she believes in---that marriage is between consenting couples of the opposite sex. Raising her Christian faith, the stunning lady reminded the public even liberal and secular democrats like Pres. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton share the same conservative view.(Photo Credit: Eric Jamison/ AP) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Miss California’s advocacy against gay marriage takes an ugly turn with the release of “revealing” photos

5/06/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


“We live in a great country; a nation that was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Yet my comments defending traditional marriage have led to intimidation tactics that seek to undermine my reputation and somehow silence me and my beliefs, as if opinion is only a one-way street.”----Carrie Prejean, Miss California, 2009

Well said Miss California!

Twenty one year old Carrie Prejean who emerged as the first runner up in the 2009 Miss USA pageant angered homosexuals for opining that marriage must be between a man and woman during the finals of the beauty competition. It was an opinion that comes from her as a Christian. But she couldn’t be forgiven by her detractors who attack her by releasing a partially nude picture she had as a model when she was in her teens.

“I am a Christian, and I am a model,” Prejean said in a statement released overnight to the media. “Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”----MSNBC.com/ Todayshow.com (05/05/09, Celizic, M)

It’s sad to see this controversy morph into a demolition job against Miss California who obviously is entitled to her belief and conviction. This seems familiar when one recalls the experience of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who was unfairly put under the microscope and vilified for having the “audacity” to run for vice-president. The biased media dug in for every dirt that could be revealed against the woman and her family. The rest of the story is history.

The intolerance and hate by people in the progressive liberal left against these two ladies are assaults against conservatism and traditional moral values in America----a place whose people like to think of themselves as beacons of freedom and tolerance, yet are bigoted against those who don’t agree with them.

For expressing her views against same-sex marriage, pageant officials in her home state are trying to boot out Miss California of her title (which is really not nothing compared to the attention she is getting for expressing her views.) It's outrageous see a woman (who at the onset said she doesn't mean to offend anyone) being singled out because of her traditional Christian point view. Obviously, there are irrational people who want to ram their agenda to people's throats.

PostHeaderIcon Miss USA finalist graciously defends her anti-gay marriage position

Expressing the sentiment of majority of Californians and Americans, Miss California Carrie Prejean who placed second in the recently concluded Miss USA pageant, reiterated her bible-based belief that marriage is between a man and a woman.

She made it clear she won't choose the dictates of political correctness and compromise her belief just to win a beauty contest.

The scintillating and outstandingly pretty beauty contestant clearly explained her position gaining her more respect and adulation from TV audiences who watched her clarify the controversy. She said she had no regrets having to express her long-held belief because she thought that was the right thing to do. =0=

When Miss California Carrie Prejean was asked about her thoughts on same-sex marriage, she quickly shared her opinion which many believed was excellent--- an answer that came direct from her heart and mind.

“We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

But according to reports, her answer to the question and answer portion of the contest angered an openly gay pageant judge because it wasn’t politically correct---it didn’t conform to the progressive liberal political agenda that he wants others to espouse. Her conservative innocuous comment against same-sex unions probably caused Ms. Prejean to lose the Miss USA title to another gorgeous lady, Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton.

Many questioned why the politically charged question was ever asked at all. Or why it should matter when in America, everyone is entitled to each one’s opinion. Others believe that if a person goes for traditional marriage---that which is contracted between a man and woman--- one is a bigot, a racist, and homophobe. Gay marital unions entail a redefinition of marriage and run contradictory to religious beliefs.

Miss California got praise and respect for her honest answer. Some snide remarks against the first runner-up are mostly undeserved. The controversial question intended to advance political agenda must have no place in a beauty pageant. The assault on traditional values which serve as the foundation of families and strength of society make people wonder where the American culture is heading. (Photo Credit: AP/ Eric Jamison x 2) =0=
