And the mixed signals in this instance are all over the place. Even Miss Prejean is sending them. And in this article from CNN.com it's clear that drama slut P. Hilton has created such an avalanche that the most sane mind in the house may actually end up being Donald Trump.
You know it's a sad day in history when you turn to Trump for normalcy.
To be fair the pageant organizers have a few legitimate gripes. There are the semi-nude photos that are being used to embarrass Miss Prejean which, in some eyes, are doing just that. There are the actions she has taken which are not within the guidelines of the pageant since the major storm erupted, such as becoming an advocate for the National Organization for Marriage.
But lest you think I am feeling sorry for the beauty pageant people, they are sending their own massively mixed signals pretty severely themselves. They appear to have done nothing to stand behind their contestant in the face of a clear attack from one of the judges based entirely upon a prejudice toward her religious beliefs. This tacit approval undermines any message they may send that they are pro-woman.
But better than that, they just released a statement that just smacks of condescension and and urge to put Carrie, and any other "free thinkers" in their place. To wit....
"The turning point was when she decided that she wanted to move forward with media interviews, in spite of the fact that her message was dividing us rather than bringing us back together," Lewis said.
The pageant would "never want to take away a girl's beliefs or her voice," he said. "We try to make these women capable of being free thinkers."
The pageant organizers "try to make" these women free thinkers. They don't give them credence enough to suppose that maybe they already were free thinkers. As sexist a bit of trype as you're likely to cook this year.
And thanks to the pig Hilton, the pageant organizers are exposed for what they have been all along, purveyors of meat. Even then, however, their message is mixed, because they disdain any attempted purveying of that same meat that they themselves did not participate in.
Why am I at all interested in this case? After all we have a president of possibly illegal origin subverting our culture, providing aid and comfort to the enemy, denying our allies, scaring both the citizenry and major businesses, and pitting American against American all for his sole delight, along with a cackling mass media who have forfeited their right to any claims of being America's watchdogs. Why would a stupid beauty pageant have any merit?
Because it's absolutely typical of where we are in America right now. Those who hold religion as an important aspect of life and believe in the right things are being mercilessly assaulted for their beliefs, even being propped up so they can be as publicly humiliated as possible, by mewling cretinous not-quite human drama queens incapable of producing anything let alone extending the fairness they shrilly demand from others.
Intolerance in America does NOT come from the Right, it comes from the Left... and it insists that vengeance is not only proper, but is what this country is founded on.
When we went to war with England in the late 1700s it wasn't vengeance, it was freedom. That is why they have spent the bulk of the past two hundred plus years as one of our strongest allies. That was a war between men of good faith trying to find the best solution.
I miss the good old days when the best solution was a goal.
I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.
