If this wasn't a clear message about what her beliefs might be, then someone other than Carrie Prejean dropped the ball on selecting her as their state representative. <br /><br />"Just because the pro-gay marriage community is more vocal in their beliefs doesn't make them the majority. I fault the pageant for allowing such an individual to serve on the judging panel, too, since there seems to be a lack of standards and rules for them to follow. <br /><br />"Finally, the contestants are judged on their poise in this portion of the pageant, not their position on issues. The judge(s) were wrong to not score her according to this standard and instead replace it with their own personal views of her answer. If the pageant wants pre-programmed robots to participate then they need to more carefully screen contestants in the future."BKRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-21217576079524511282009-04-29T08:28:00.000-04:002009-04-29T08:28:00.000-04:00BKR,

For whatever reason, Ms. California decided to make her knowingly contentious feelings known, and I think it is disingenuous to think that anyone would be surprised by the bitter backlash toward these comments.<br /><br /> From the gay rights perspective this woman went on television and declared her support for the continued discrimination of homosexuals. I can imagine a significant amount of bitterness to those kinds of comments.<br /><br /> I am sure you have all already guessed it, but I support gay rights wholeheartedly. <br /><br />Peace.<br />Rick BeagleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-6708219689581196342009-04-29T01:40:00.000-04:002009-04-29T01:40:00.000-04:00The owner of the pageant, Donald Trump, actually s...The owner of the pageant, Donald Trump, actually stood up for Miss CA and applauded her for stating her conviction. Rick, it's a little disingeneous to say that it was simply a matter of her giving an unpopular answer and losing. The issue is that she was villified for her opinion. It is a sad truth that the left wing espouses free speech, and yet screams the loudest and ugliest when someone expresses an opinion they don't agree with. There seems to be no room for civil discourse. No one was calling Perez filthy names - but he was certainly calling that young woman lots of filthy things. How can you defend that?BKRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-45753713699581692732009-04-28T13:17:00.000-04:002009-04-28T13:17:00.000-04:00You said what I was thinking, but never got around...You said what I was thinking, but never got around to writing.

She was asked a question, she gave an unpopular answer, and she lost the competition. You are somehow equating the consequences of her free speech to a lack there of. <br /><br />Whether you agree with her or not is immaterial, it is whether the judges, the sponsors and the organization she was to represent agreed. Obviously they felt her answer was an inappropriate representation of them. Since they actually run the contest it pretty much remains their call.<br /><br />Seriously, you folks need better talking points and smarter bloggers.<br /><br />Peace.<br />Rick BeagleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-84016853357537466492009-04-25T03:42:00.000-04:002009-04-25T03:42:00.000-04:00well said!well said!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526129548370052853noreply@blogger.com
