Brave Miss California
This post is a little late – you have probably heard by now how Miss California Carrie Prejean said in the interview part of the Miss America pageant that she opposed gay marriage, resulting in insults and attacks from Perez Hilton and other pro-gay-marriage people. This whole uproar just goes to show that many liberals seem to be completely intolerant of anyone whose views differ from theirs. I find this hypocritical, since liberals expect everyone not only to be tolerant of people of all sexual orientations, but to give them marriage licenses, and not only to tolerate illegal immigrants, but to give them amnesty, et cetera, et cetera. Liberals demand toleration for basically everything except minority opinions, or any opinions or choices that differ from theirs.
When someone voices an unpopular opinion, what do liberals do? Perez Hilton, who was judging the pageant, not only said in a video that Miss California was a “stupid (b-word)” but also said on MSNBC that “I was thinking the c-word and I didn’t say it.” But wait! It gets worse! E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic said that Prejean was ”an ignorant disgrace and she makes me sick to my stomach.” And these are just two of the numerous Hollywood liberals who bashed Prejean for expressing her views.
Nice! So when someone very politely voices what should be a very uncontroversial opinion, she gets called obscene words! All that Carrie Prejean said was “I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.” How could someone find such a mild, respectfully-phrased statement offensive, let alone swear at and belittle the person who said it?
It seems like Perez Hilton and his liberal Hollywood cohorts are far more intolerant than even the most radical gay-marriage opponents.
