Get Off Our Ass

So, Miss Carrie Prejean is now just another victim. What the hell.

Now, I applaud her answer when she was asked about gay marriage… hell I agree with her. I know being from the People’s Republic of California, it took a lot of courage to stand up there on stage and tell the world that she marriage is between a man and a woman.

Now, I could go on for a while about the whole gay marriage debate, but suffice to say that gay marriage is to marriage what three wheels are to a bicycle. If you want to be a knob-gobbling rump ranger, go for it, but that has nothing to do with marriage. A bicycle has two wheels. If you have three wheels then you can’t call it a bicycle no matter how much you stomp your feet and whine. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Two men or two women or three women and one man or… well we could all assign different names to it… but none of them would be marriage.

Now, that said… Miss Prejean is now filling a discrimination suit against the Miss California organization, and I’ll grant her, she is probably in the right, but in filling her lawsuit and going to the media whining and complaining about how she’s been mistreated has done nothing except turn herself into just another class of victim.

And, personally, I think we’ve got enough victims in this country. We don’t need any more… not even the pretty blonde kinds that I would otherwise agree with.

My greatest desire is simply to get big brother off my ass. Period. Now, I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been wronged in one way or another by someone somewhere. Myself included. But just because we’ve been ‘wronged’ doesn’t mean we have to turn to the big bro’ to fix it for us.

Most of the time, we have to simply stand up face the fact that we’re probably paying some kind of stupid tax for letting someone else get into the position to put one over on us.

Miss Prejean will no doubt sell a lot of books, and probably get a great gig on TV somewhere. She might even be able to parley this ordeal into a pretty good career, but if she truly hold heartfelt conservative Christian values… then she was just dumb to expect the Miss California organization to embrace her and support her. DUMB. Period.

Instead of looking like a whiner that’s playing the victim card, she’d get a lot more respect from me by saying, “Yep… that was pretty dumb of me and I’m better off parting ways with these left wing loonies.”

But alas, no… now she’s playing the victim and I respect her about as much as any other victim…

That’s just not the sort of people I want to support.
