BOB BECKEL: Miss USA Flap — How About Keeping God OUT of Politics?
The furor over the anti-gay marriage comments made by Miss California, who was competing in the Miss USA contest were both unnecessary and inflammatory. It reminded me of a former gay-bashing beauty contestant, Anita Bryant. The less than brilliant Bryant traveled the country in the ’70’s spewing hatred towards gays by her hateful speech and support of anti-gay referendums.
I don’t know where this woman is now or if she is still alive but her sentiments certainly are among those felt by a minority of Americans who apparently don’t believe the Constitution of the United States provides for civil liberties for all our people. Some opponents of gay marriage love to quote the Bible as an anti-gay source.
I am a Christian, read the Bible daily, and attend church at least once a week (hard for some of you wingers to believe, isn’t it, that there are born-again Christians who happen to be liberals). I do not believe our Savior would have spoken out in favor of anti-gay referendums. “Give onto Caesar what is Caesar’s.”
How about being Good Samaritans and keeping God out of politics?
Having said that, I am appalled that the question was raised at all. Given the fact that the questioner, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, is gay makes it appear that he is injecting his own politics into what is after all just a beauty contest. It’s time to cool the rhetoric on both sides on the gay marriage issue and leave it to state legislatures and the courts which is where the debate belongs.
End of story.
That's probably why no one believes you.
Actually, Bob, it's IMPOSSIBLE to justify liberal ideology against the authority of the bible.
So, usually, you just hear liberal "Christians" dismiss the authority of God's Word.
Why was the question asked in the first place ?
Once it was asked Carrie had two choices, to be politically correct or to answer it honestly probably knowing that it could cost her the crown.
Politics should not be brought up in something like this. It’s not about politics.
Perez WILLFULLY asked this question with the idea of trying to discredit her. Shame on him (or does Perez prefer to be called her ?).
The question everyone should ask is how did Perez Hilton get the pageant gig in the first place? What contribution to our society has he made and what makes him/her (whatever) qualified to be a judge ?
Apparently his Bible lost a few pages. Although I suppose technically, Jesus wouldn't have spoken for a vote on an issue, he simply told his followers that marriage was sacred and that even divorce was only offered because we were weak, sinful people.
As I recall, Bob, this charade started shortly after you were busted with a prostitute almost five years ago. Forgive me if I don't consider for a millisecond that your conversion was at all genuine or sincere.
The Bible and the manifesto are wholly incompatible. The only purpose The Bible serves to a practicing Marxist is to provide cover.
This is just one more example of what happens to normal people when the vicious leftists set their sights on them.
Lord! What brilliant observation! Beckel is a blanking genius! Hell he is qualified to run the Mondale campaign.
