An open letter to NBC and Donald Trump

An open letter to NBC and Donald Trump

I have been watching this fiasco unfold about Carrie Prejean. I can not believe the retaliation that this poor girl is made to suffer. A judge that called her answer "polarizing". Pageant directors who tried to humiliate her with news (true or false) of a breast enhancement that she denies. Statements from those same pageant directors about her opportunism. All this because she gave an honest answer to a question from a judge with an agenda.

What were the pageant officials thinking when they invited a militant homosexual with his own agenda to judge this disaster. Mario Lavendiera is a man on a mission. His biggest claim to fame is a website where he draws mustaches and cocaine on pictures of celebrities. This is a man who's command of the english language is so deep and so broad that the best insult he could come up with is to call her a f***ing b*tch. His assesment of poor Miley Cyrus is "sl*t" I'm less then impressed with who you chose to select the ultimate girl next door. That's what this competition is supposed to be about, the perfect girl next door who wants the American dream, home, family, career, isn't it.

Your own pageant directors are quoted on MSNBC as saying she forgot her commitment to the people of California. Lets look at that one shall we. Its the people of California who voted to ban gay marriage by saying yes to proposition 8. Tell me exactly how she would be representing the people of California by denying her religious beliefs and speaking out in favor of the minority. Shanna Moakler and Keith Lewis should be released from their duties ASAP because they have an agenda to humiliate her and make her suffer because she wouldn't speak the party line.

Moakler and Lewis state she has gone beyond her right to her opinion and shown her oportunistic agenda. It wasn't Prejean who started this whole thing, it was the Miss USA pageant officials and its owners for not thinking that a man like Lavendiera with a very known and public agenda wouldn't use time on national television to his own advantage and for that agenda. He openly said he took points from her not because she was inarticulate, but because she gave the wrong answer.

In the 40's when someone wouldn't speak the party line we called it the holocaust. In the 80 when it was the few telling the majority how live, we called it apartied. What do you want to call this? I call it discusting. Perhaps its time to fold the pageants. Since the owners and directors of the Miss USA pageant and its source (state) pageants have blurred the lines between current events and political activism, maybe we should be rethinking what we want from our young girls. Mr Trump, would you have wanted Ivanka to forsake the values you taught her for some silly prize? Why let your staff punish Prejean for not giving up on hers? And for the record I did support the concept of gay civil unions. I'm rethinking that now

Political correctness and beauty pageants

I guess its time for another rant. This time its Carrie Prejean.
What was The Donald thinking when he ok'd Perez Hilton as a judge for his Miss USA pagent? Hilton is a militant homosexual on a mission and to think he wouldn't use this platform for his agenda is silly. This is a guy who is famous for calling celebrities names and making life hell for them as well. His claim to fame is photoshopping photo's with imaginary cocaine and mustaches. I am told that after the show, in an interview, he called her answer polarizing. What kind of an answer did he expect to get from a polarizing question?

An AP story on CNN.com or MSNBC.com quotes him as saying she is supposed to represent ALL Americans. First off, how is she supposed to represent me? I'm a 51 year old married male. I've been married for 21 years. I lost interest in beauty pagents years ago. What she is supposed to represent is the perfect girl next door. She is supposed to be the good girl who studies and wants the American dream (husband, family, home etc). Exactly what does Mario know about women other then he wants to be one and wants everyone to accept him as one? He is not and even if he has a sex change, he still has that nasty Y chromasome. Sorry big guy. This is a man who rode Lance Bass and Reichen Lemkuhl so much that they finally broke up. His public comment after the break up was that now Reichen couldn't ride Lance's coattails. Um, I'm guessing that Paris Hilton must be thrilled that Mario is trying to ride hers.

The problem I have with the whole gay acceptance thing is not the lifestyle. Its that they want to legislate religion. The term marriage is a religious one. The gay community wants a law saying that a union between 2 homosexual partners should be called a marriage. The concept of a union between 2 same-sex partners bothers me because it goes against religous law, laws of nature and laws of science. In England, they have that law but to make it work, they don't call it a marriage, they call it a civil union and I'm ok with that.

Now I'm reading that Keith Lewis, co-director of the Miss California competition told FOXNews.com that he was "saddened" by Prejean's statement. Hey Donald, I'm thinking that Keith and Shanna Moakler should be looking for other work right now. Your folks who are openly stating that Prejean was wrong, (Lewis and Shanna Moakler) should be released from their duties. The idea that these 2 believe her answer was hurtful because she relied on her religious upbringing have no business working your competition.
A quote from the Fox article (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517215,00.html)
Charmaine Koonce, the mother of Miss New Mexico USA Bianca Matamoros-Koonce, argued back. "In the Bible it says marriage is between Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!"

God bless mothers. Its time to get political correctness out of America.
