Carrie Prejean displayed charachter and integrity in last nights Miss USA contest. Something you would think would reap praise from those in the Miss USA organization. Uhhhh, No. Seems organizers of the pageant made this dandy little statement that the were ”personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman.” Just to make sure I wasn’t missing something I had my youngest kids help me venture into the Constitution (their Dad ain’t too smart) and guess what…….No mention of marriage rights in there. Hmmmm, so anyway, Ms. Prejean comes in 2nd for giving her personal thoughts on States following Vermont recognizing gay marriage. You can only imagine what is being said about her in the MSM. It got me to thinking. Miss North Carolina won the contest. North Carolina being well within the Bible Belt I could not help but think “What if Miss North Carolina is a Christian?” Being a woman she is going to have natrual feelings of sorrow for Ms. Prejean. I watched a few so called “Insiders” of the pageant business say Ms. Prejean was the obvious front runner before Hilton’s question. Miss North Carolina could feel she did not win the crown outright. So I dive into the “What If” game. What if Miss North Carolina gives up her crown? Ms. Prejean becomes Miss USA and represents the organization across the globe. Does the organization allow some “Christian” or more likely their words would be “Bigot Homophobe” to represent the organization? I think they would do anything they could to keep her from the crown. in doing so I think support for the organization would plummet and the organization would no longer be what it is today (whatever that is). Look for TOTUS to be used in the next pageant so these pesky problems with personal honor and integrity will be removed.

I am proud of Carrie for sticking up for her beliefs--twice!

Ms. Prejean had a chance to retract some or all of her comments when recently interviewed by FOXNEWS http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517228,00.html

She did not. In fact, she claimed it was God testing her faiith, therefore proving that not only is she the total package-good looking, conservative, but lastly she’s also Christian.

Bravo for making someone from California look smart. May she inspire many more people from that state to come out of the political closet and help turn that red one district and county at a time.

Now we can only hope that a conservative school like Liberty University or Hillsdale College offers her a full ride scholarship. Of course, she’ll probably reject it (and she has every right to) but if they want to put their money where their mouth is and get some free publicity for their schools, now is the perfect chance.

Oh and Focus on the Family, where are you on this issue? Defunct organization that you are. I am expecting (and waiting) for you and what’s left of the Christian Right to protect this girl. She may need it from Lefties but I hope not. She seems like such a nice well educated, well raised person. So rare from the scum we saw that elected The One.

Marriage is not a right. Marriage is a contract.

That you are to be married is never guaranteed, anywhere, in any society, even for heterosexuals.

It’s a sacrament from a religious standpoint, and a consensual contract from a secular standpoint. Religions retain the right to set limits and standards for the sacrament of marriage. Governments (in our case, We the People) retain the right to set limits and standards for contracts. The individual states have the right to chime in on the laws governing marriage, unless the Constitution itself is amended. So Miss California was absolutely correct in giving her answer.

Gays have precisely the same set of rights that I do, right now. Demanding extra rights over everyone else doesn’t fly with me.

Marriage bears none of the properties of human rights.
It’s important to understand that there is no right to be denied. It’s really a lame attempt at of receiving legal benefits for what is almost invariably a choice. Another way of getting other people to subsidize your poor decision, to legitimize your poor choice, to justify your lifestyle. Haven’t we seen enough of that crap lately?

Criterion Chemical was in the black for FY2010!
Not bad considering the forces arrayed against small business these days.
Let’s see about actually making some serious profit this year. Shameless capitalism, by:
