Have you seen the recent news about Carrie Prejean? If not, she is the reigning Miss California and just finished first runner-up to Kristen Dalton, the recently crowned Miss U.S.A. Yes, Carrie is beautiful. Yes, she is smart. But, she is also a self-proclaiming advocate for traditional marriage. In fact, some may say that she would be Miss U.S.A., if only she had only compromised her values.
In the Miss U.S.A. pageant, Carrie was just another contender. However, she has been explosively propelled to a lofty status, that is, since she honestly answered a heatedly controversial question. Apparently, the answer did not fit into the ideology of the judge who asked the question. Apparently, freedom of speech has boundaries. Apparently, disagreeing with a "liberal" constitutes crossing those boundaries.
The question? The not-so-simple question was this: What were her “beliefs” on gay marriage?
As you probably know, Carrie courageously professed her dedication to “traditional” marriage (one man, one woman), and has since been lambasted by the gay-sympathetic left. She has been demonized for her beliefs, under the indictment of “intolerance,” but her honesty is really what doomed her. The mere fact that Carrie believes that marriage is sacred, and is reserved for “one man and one woman,” has jettisoned her into the limelight of pop culture.
So, who is intolerant? Let’s place Carrie’s comments next to the comments of a leading liberal celebrity, Jeanine Garafalo. Let us measure “intolerance” solely on the merit of their comments. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” I have been told. How will they compose themselves, at least when on camera? Here we go:

So, you decide. No. I'll tell you- liberals are hypocrites. Regarding the left, I have never seen such vitriolic hate painted as "tolerance." But then, tolerating conservatives was never a promise of the Left, was it?
The definition of a Kool-Aid drinking, scatalogical, moron: Jeanine Gerafalo.
This is wrong on so many levels, I hardly know where to start. First, there’s Ms. Garafalo’s hypocrisy in showing her intolerance of intolerance.
Second, there’s her scatalogical no-think on the issue of why teabaggers are, uh…teabagging. Her logic? Since (in her mind) no-one complained about Bush Jr’s spending, the only reason these people are here is because they don’t like black people. I mean, there couldn’t possibly be any other reason. Like say, the fact that Bush’s spending habits weren’t largely publicized until the $700 billion dollar bailout and that was at the end of his presidency. Even then, the rumblings were being heard. But usually, people don’t begin organizing until they see a pattern of government Tom Foolery in quick succession. That’s exactly what happened as President Obama took office. Bailouts were endorsed by him and passed by congress in quick succession which made Bush Jr’s $700 billion look paltry. By then, our government’s bailout B.S. was so well publicized that it became a household word. People organized and protested.
Finally, I wish to God the interviewer had answered Garafalo’s question by telling her in, perhaps, not so many words, what I just articulated.
Anyway, it’s nothing knew. Anytime, you disagree with a liberal, they’ll play any or all of the following: the race card, the sexism card, the change the subject by asking you a pointed question card, the screaming obscenities card, and, of course, let us not forget the fill-the-blank card. What else can they do? When you’ve made up your poor excuse for a mind that you don’t want to be confused by the facts, there’s really nothing left but obfuscation, smoke-n-mirrors, red-herrings…etc.
