After Carrie

Let me tell you a fairy tale. Once upon a time, a gorgeous blond California girl -- let's call her "Carrie" -- wanted to be a beauty queen.

Asked about gay marriage, "Carrie" blurted out her truth: "I believe all Americans should enjoy equal rights to get married whether it is same-sex or opposite marriage. That's the way I was raised, and that's the way I think marriage should be."

Afterward, a judge proclaimed her answer so offensive he voted against her and wanted to rip off her tiara. Instead of rebuking the judge, pageant officials said that "Carrie" needs to meet anti-gay marriage folk to assuage the "hurt" she has caused them. A media firestorm ensued.

"Carrie" explains to the press that her Christian faith taught her that gay marriage was right. She even appears at a press conference with the Human Rights Campaign, which some said violated her contractual obligations.

Roll back the tape. What would that alternate Carrie's life be like right now?

Carrie Prejean is right.

She has made many mistakes in her young life, including some that Catholics like me would call sins. But when I was 22 years old, Carrie's age, I had a child out of wedlock.

I hope young women watching learn something from Carrie's ordeal; ideally something like: Don't have sex with men who aren't willing to marry you. But if that is too elevated an ideal, try this one: Girls, don't send any pic to your boyfriend you don't want your mom or Matt Lauer to see. (snip)

An embarrassed Carrie wasn't fully truthful about her private and personal life, which ended up making things more difficult for her. (Could any of those folks who defended Bill Clinton's right to commit perjury about sex please step up and say a kind word or two for Carrie?)

The leftist homosexualist slime need to learn the meaning of argumentum ad hominem tu quoque.

[edcoil]

I think it tells us Trump and all the pageants - run by gays is pure sham and I won’t waste my time watching another.

“(Could any of those folks who defended Bill Clinton’s right to commit perjury about sex please step up and say a kind word or two for Carrie?) “

Wow. Asking for honesty, requesting the truth from people who love Bill and hate George .... who love gays and hate all others.

Remember, our President has proclaimed all sorts of GLBT days and months and years ...............

but if you say taxes are too high and spending is too much you are teabaggin’ rednecks ..........

Good luck with your request and I wish you well but can’t you see from the vicious hateful attacks on Carrie and Sarah what these people are like?

They are not kind or nice or forgiving sweet Christians, that much I can tell you, as I have personal knowledge.

Best.

[WingsofCourage]

Anyone who attacks her betrays themselves for the slime that they are. Who’d want a tainted crown dispensed by a vacuous Hollywood system?

[texmexis best]

The net present value of Mr. Trump’s beauty pageant has been impaired.

I won’t be watching and I know many others who feel the same.

Argumentum Ad Hominem Tu Quoque ...

Love it. Well put.

[skeeter]

The hatred she has generated is inexplicable and ugly.

Is there any doubt what these people will do with dissenters if given the power?

[swain_forkbeard]

Let me just say...

NOT GUILTY!

Remember that Carrie’s only offense was to “weakly” support a traditional view of marriage. For that the left despises and has tried to destroy her. There is no reason they wouldn’t do the same to anyone who expressed a similar opinion.

[mlizzy]

Carrie probably shouldn't have come out with a book so quickly; it made her look like she was capitalizing on one [albiet very good] answer to a beauty-pageant question. She's young ... she'll hopefully learn from all of this.

Warning to young girls out there everywhere: don't make sleazy sex tapes for your boyfriends. Any guy that would accept that as a relationship enhancer (and keep it!), but then spread it around the entire Web for others to see, ain't worth having around for the long haul or even for one day. Or as Father Gerard Monaghan puts it: "If we place a piece of tape on our wrist (the first person we have sex with) there is a strong bond. When we break that relationship, it is like tearing the tape off our arm - it hurts. Then when we meet another person and become intimate with them we put the same piece of tape back on our arm. But this time we find that the bond isn't as strong and so it is with the tape and the relationship. And each time it hurts a little less when the tape is ripped off and each time the tape is put back on, the bond is that much weaker."

The homo slimes also destroyed Anita Bryant’s career about thirty years ago when she publicly opposed them.
