They are asking her opinion, how could there be a wrong answer?

I’m going to get flamed for this, but . . .

Carrie needs to watch the company she keeps.

She has concentrated her time and effort into training for and parading around half naked in pageants that are primarily managed, judged, and heavily populated by the homosexual community.

She walked into a trap.

Shame on it.

So just because the judges are homosexual, one is supposed to leave one’s views and values at the door and denounce traditional marriage? Tolerant folk these gay activists.

...what the heck did that quote ever have to do with a referendum of any sort?

About as much as advocating something God has called abomination and professing to be Christian.

When traditions of men go against the WORD of GOD, traditions must die.

My teacher just covered a series of lessons on just this topic. If you hold a tradition of mankind, and it’s not found in the Bible, or openly against what is in the literal WORD of God, you need to either change the tradition, stop doing it, or stop calling yourself a Christian.

That’s right, she did give the wrong answer. What she should have said is this:

“Barack Obama was asked whether he supported gay marriage when he was running for President. Barack Obama said no, and I agree with Barack Obama.”

Not perfect at all. Her answer was based on her own beliefs. Referencing the "Great Leader" as a source of authority would be saying that his beliefs should guide. This would be worse than caving to PC.

Honestly, her answer for the meaning of this is better. God didn't mean for her to win Miss USA that night. Instead she won back for all of us just a little piece of what American's are about.

Wasn't Jesus referring to taxes when he said “Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's”? Beckel is such a sanctimonious nitwit.

LOL!

Only a liberal would ask for an opinion then declare the answer 'wrong'.

So much for freedom of conscience, huh?

Email them and let them know what you think about the politicization of the Miss USA contest.

Personally, I was STUNNED on several levels. First, how could this young woman NOT know her audience and judges? Liset's not forget that the person asking the question is an openly gay man, at least 2 people on the judges panel are openly gay. Another judge has a sister in a gay marriage. Her very own state pageant director, KEITH LEWIS is an openly gay man who has been a very generous benefactor of hers...in many ways

Soooo......Is it a requirement to be gay or in favor of gay marriage in order to participate in this pagent in any way?

Sheesh, these pagent people need to get a clue. If the contestant is going to represent the USA, well then fools, percentages show that would be anti-gay marriage! Even in CA!

"..Having said that, I am appalled that the question was raised at all. Given the fact that the questioner, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, is gay makes it appear that he is injecting his own politics into what is after all just a beauty contest..."

Lord! What brilliant observation! Beckel is a blanking genius! Hell he is qualified to run the Mondale campaign.

What they are all saying is that they want straight people "in the closet" for a change.

You can think what you want in private, but I public you have to recite the PC line.

Paying Taxes to Caesar - Matthew 22:15-22

15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?”

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

You may be correct. I, as a Christian, have never had an issue with beauty contests per se because I believe that celebrating Gods creations cannot be a sin.

That being said, when the recognition of beauty is trumped by a politically correct anti biblical credo, the practice becomes heretical.

Trump owns this pagent (or is an owner)

By directing comments and letters to him, his ego will force an eventual statement.

Based on what he says about this obvious injustice, the pagent will live or die as a show.

I think the pagent at this point, is in serious dixie chix territory based on the conduct of these bufoon judges.

What good is this crown?

"Favorite Young Woman of Men who Prefer Young Men?"

Good grief. She should be proud she lost out for the answer she gave (and I suspect she is).
