Miss California

What is more American than hot dogs, apple pie, and well…..Miss America? The reaction to the response of Miss California over the weekend to an inappropriate question has sparked a most un-American outcry. Carrie Prejean of California was surprised when she was asked during the 2009 Miss America pageant whether she thought other states should follow the lead of Vermont in legalizing same sex marriage. Her response was as follows, ""I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman, No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

The question was asked by notorious celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who did I mention, is gay. (By the way, how come a gay man is judging some of the most beautiful women in the world?)On his blog after the show Perez Hilton blasted Ms. Prejean with expletives. He even went as far as to go on news shows defending his tirade and stating the favorite to win, Ms. Prejean, lost because of her answer. Mr. Hilton said that he wanted someone that represented everyone, not just straight couples.

I think I will take the next few seconds to now go one my own personal tirade on my own blog against this celebrity blogger. What could be more fitting? So you say you want Miss California to represent you, well, what about the 52% of Americans who upheld proposition 8 this November. Had she of supported gay marriage then she would actually be in the minority in her own state. Does he also realize that Miss California holds the same opinions as Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and "Billary" Clinton? Was it not Bill Clinton who signed the Defense of Marriage Act which allows states to not recognize same sex marriage from other states (not to mention it says that the federal government cannot treat same sex marriage as marriage for any purpose)? Why are we then bashing this woman's honesty? I want my Miss America to be honest. It is always joked that during Miss America only superficial and politically correct answers are given. Why should she thus hide her own opinions in the closet? Or does Perez Hilton not remember what it was like to hide in the closet?

Congratulations Miss California! You represented your state statistically and were honest even when knowing that it would cost you the pageant!

Shame on you liberal bloggers, Perez Hilton, and all of the out of touch with reality Hollywood liberals!

Watch for Jindal Tonight!

I encourage everyone to watch the GOP's response to Obama's state of the union tonight. Governor Bobby Jindal from Louisiana has been given the honor and is looking to give the GOP a new direction. It is common thought that Jindal may run for the Republican nomination in 2012 even though he has claimed he is concentrating on doing a good job as Governor.

How America is Paying for the Democratic Party to Prosper

$819 billion, how can one fathom an amount of money so large, so fictitious, so absurd that would even make Bill Gates gag? At first glance, one may think (well maybe not us fiscal conservatives), 'Great Obama is really pushing to get our economy pumping!', but with a closer look, one can really see all of the earmarks and pork barrel spending that frankly, should cause quite a stir (but won't). The 647 page document that is the Stimulus gives Democrats a great chance to bank on all of the promises they have made in the past. Luckily, at least some of their earmarks got cut out of the original bill because of some controversy, $200 million for new contraceptive service and $20 million to renovate the National Mall. Fox news reported that "$25 million for new ATV trails; $400 million for the National Endowment for the Arts; $400 million for global warming research; $335 million for the Centers for Disease Control to combat sexually-transmitted diseases; and $650 million coupons to subsidize TV viewers for digital television conversion. " are all in the stimulus. Isn't the point of the stimulus to stimulate the economy, not reward past promises? How on earth does $25 million for ATV trails stimulate our economy? Can't we find better things to do with that money? If this is a violation of the people's trust in government, then I do not know what is. With the same logic, if the Republicans were in charge, we could add 'stimulus' money to purchase more hunting land for hunters, expand aid for faith based rehabilitation, and increase wages for soldiers! Why wouldn't we satisfy our base and entrench our foothold on capitol hill (oh wait, we wouldn't, anyone heard of moral responsibility). NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR THE STIMULUS. We are allowing the party in power to make good on all of these promises on our tax dollars! Democrats defend the bill by pointing to the $30 billion in the stimulus for infrastructure. …….hold on, 3.66% of the total stimulus is for infrastructure? What a success! Well, congrats to all of you ATV riders, at least someone will benefit!

Inauguration

I would like everyone to take a look at the article I posted on the right hand side of the blog. I think this guy puts it best. "My hopes and expectations for Obama, therefore, are much more reasonable, and I will be able to take in the history and the pomp without the accompanying anxiety that Inauguration Day will bring to my more liberal friends." We need to step back and look at this day as a day to respect the amazing ability that our country can change power peacefully. Come tomorrow, we can be go back to battling and debating policy, but today, just relax and enjoy the fact that we no longer have to listen to liberal rants about President Bush. When liberals say negative things about American policy, we no longer have to hold this illogical burden of trying to defend policies that are neither conservative in nature nor a political issue. Just relax as the Democrat takes control of the wheel and tries to drive through the same bumpy road that we have been driving. As cliché as it may seem, the driver driving has little to do with the road ahead and will hit the same bumps and potholes as another driver would.
