Carrie Prejean 1-Haters 0

The Donald made the big decision this morning concerning Miss California, Carrie Prejean, and whether or not she would continue to be Miss California.

And the Donald did not disappoint as he allowed Miss Prejean to continue to be Miss California. This despite being sold out from within as the California pageant leaders, openly gay Keith Lewis and Shana Moakler appointed a "shadow", re: politically correct, representative, the first runner up, Tami Ferrell. Miss Ferrell will be attending events that Miss Prejean "can not" or would be "unwise" to send her.

Now, if one has been hiding under a rock for the past several weeks, Miss Prejean answered a question by Miss USA pageant judge Mario Lavandeira, Jr., aka Perez Hilton, asked her views on same-sex marriage and whether or not it should be across the United States. And, Miss Prejean gave this answer:

"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

And that set off the firestorm that caused Mr. Lavandeira to use his blog to refer to Miss Prejean as a b----. Also made Miss Prejean a sudden spokeswoman for traditional marriage. And the pushback was relentless. The cheesy sleaze site TMZ actually went so far as to make a case that her parents divorce made Miss Prejean a "homophobe". It has culminated with a slew of "nude" photos of Miss Prejean ending up on another sleazy website. I will not link that. If you want to peek, The Other McCain has been up on this.

But the Donald pointed out that Miss Prejean's view on same-sex marriage is the same as President Obama. And that the so-called racy photos of Miss Prejean were not all that racy.

Now, the photos had not one wit to do with the issue of the comments. They are being released to show that Miss Prejean is a "hypocrite" for posing topless and professing being a Christian. And that her view on same-sex marriage is judgemental. The photos are a completely separate issue.

This issue will not go away anytime soon.

And, it should be instructive for conservatives. Especially young conservatives.

That if one speaks out on any given issue and it is not politically correct, the forces of political correctness and their allies will come after you with all guns blazing. They will use everything at their disposal to destroy you. But, you should not despair. Speak out. You will find a whole lot of us willing to stand up for you and your rights.

Once Miss Prejean finishes her duties as Miss California, I hope that she continues to be an advocate for traditional marriage. We need young people like her out there because she represents a silent group of people. Young conservatives and yes, even middle-of-the-roaders. For now we can continue to call Carrie Prejean Miss California.

Thank you, Donald!
