Chew on this,
First Jesus was tortured for his beliefs. Now it’s a beauty pageant contestant.
Carrie Prejean is the gift that keeps on giving. And a symbol of the hypocrisy in the social conservative movement.
Miss Prejean says she is a “Christian” dedicated to upholding Christian values, except when she made sex tapes and was caught lying about them and apparently asked the person she originally sent them to lie about her age when those were taken. So besides violating God rules for fornication, lying, and bearing false witness, she’s cool with God.
She fights for her freedom to say what she feels, but becomes annoyed when others express their ideas or their questions to her – even going so far to tell Larry King he was being inappropriate for simply asking why she dropped her lawsuit against the Beauty Pageant officials who fired her. Instead she threatened to walk out as if Larry King said, “whip those boobs out baby!” on national TV. If he said that, that would be inappropriate. But being asked questions on an interview show? Not so much.
She proclaims she loves America and the freedoms afforded to us, and that like her grandfather who served in wartime, we should fight to keep those freedoms. At the same time, she actively works with social conservative groups to take liberties away from others. Particularly people who want to marry people of the same sex. Because, apparently for Miss Prejean, freedom is so great, so important only the people you like should have them.
To be honest, she can break these rules and be caught in contradictions simply because she wears her values the same way a college mascot wears their costume. A set a values to be put on to rally Christians and to be taken off when the game is over. It’s only an act.
In short, like her “phone buddy” Sarah Palin, who left being governor to write books and tour, she’s merely in the business of being a social conservative. Because she found a decent paycheck in making speeches, writing books. And for her the role of “hot Jesus” a woman “crucified” by the media for loving God and standing up for Christian values plays well. It’s the best of both worlds; Jesus and you get to look at a pretty woman.
The sex tape scandal may hurt her. Likely not. Christian don’t tolerate being gay, or liberal. But like a boys club, they tend to whip out the forgiveness for buddies that in general think and act like themselves. So don’t be surprised if Little Miss Contradictions, star still rises in the social conservative moment.
