There is no doubt in anyone's mind that leftists are complete and total hypocrites. They always have been, and they always will be.
Just for a moment, let's turn around the Miss America/Perez Hilton scandal. Let's suppose that a Christian became a judge (it could happen, there are a few popular ones in Hollyweird.) Let's also suppose that a "gay marriage" question is asked of one of the contestants. The contestant, who is leading, gives the standard leftwing drivel ("everyone should love everyone and let everyone do whatever they want to do, and make everything legal, except being mean to leftists".) The answer is as lucid and poised and any other contestant, just leftwing drivel.
The Christian judge proceeds to give the candidate a very low score (maybe even a zero.) The Christian also gives an interview to the news media (700 Club?) indicating that she believes that "Miss America is supposed to represent traditional American values and this candidate did not represent those. The judge could not, in good conscience, give her a good score for that non-traditional answer. The judge also indicates that that score kept the contestant from winning.
The left wing would obviously go ape-sh!t demanding the contestant be given the crown, the judge be censured, sued, etc.
How do FReepers respond to this judge? With the same disdain we had for Perez Hilton? Do we find a way to justify the judge's actions?
My bad!
To a Christian homosexuality is being a Sodomite...God killed Sodomites for their unnatural behaviour and wickedness. How far will you take hypocrite? If this judge looks at you and says don’t stick your private parts in a septic tank and swish it around yet puts his private parts in the EXACT place where what goes into a septic tank comes from..is he a hypocrite....he can play in feces but you can’t.
Ask a stupid question get a stupid answer. The world has gone brainless!
That was NOT my intent. My premis was simply that if things were as close as reasonably possible to being turned 180 degrees, would we feel the same way about a Christian (traditionalist) judge injecting his/her personal beliefs into the scoring, or would we applaud his/her standing up for our values.
Of course this ignores perez' hateful slander and profanity about Ms. Prejean. (That is clearly out of line and unacceptable to polite soliety and any professionally run pageant.) I am ONLY discussing the injection of personal political beliefs/values into the questioning.
There is no ‘reasonble as possible’ with what the sexual degenerate sought to do posing that question. It was agenda driven, as in the agenda of the sexual degenerate class. You are not posing soemthing 180 degrees to such degeneracy, you are seeking to stand a red herring up to quiz conservative Freepers.
“I doubt that I would feel as negatively about a Christian judge using his/her position to defend traditional values as I feel about a depraved judge using its position to defend depraved values.”
That’s an oxymoron.
Are they judged on the right/wrong answer to the question? In other words, is there a right answer and a wrong answer, and you can’t win if you give a wrong one?
I didn’t think so. I thought they were judged on poise, ability to communicate, to think clearly, to makes sense, in other words, to handle a pop question.
If, as a judge, I was supposed to be voting on these criteria, that’s what I would vote on.
Otherwise, I’d need a sheet of correct answers and check off if each young lady said the right thing or not.
Thanks, Nam Vet. I was a lurker for a couple of years before I finally signed up and posted.
Your answer is the best.
You saved me from typing something very insulting to some.
