The Shaming of the Miss USA Pageant

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, may have lost the Miss USA pageant because she said she believed in normal, traditional marriage between a man and a woman. No one should be shocked that a homosexual would ask such a question. The homosexual club has as its agenda to break down moral barriers and gain acceptance for their perversion. But no matter how loud they shout or how militant they become, you cannot make a wrong into a right. If that is possible then there is no possibility of any kind of moral or virtue or value. Morality becomes a social or political convenience, not an absolute standard. We need to be clear about this. Once we cease being morally intact in one area of life, we cease being morally intact in all areas of life. It is obvious that homosexuality has taken a foothold in our society because sexual immorality, in general, has become acceptable in our society. How can an adulterer tell a homosexual he is wrong?

What is sad is that executive director of the Miss California USA wrote a letter to Perez Hilton in support of his position and against Prejean. Keith Lewis, in effect, gave tacit approval to Hilton for his outrageous name calling against Prejean. But that fact that Prejean was asked a moral question and she gave her answer and then criticized for giving the traditional and moral response is outrageous. What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to the freedom of religion? I suppose that their response is that she should keep her religion to herself but where is the freedom in that? Her faith is part of what it means to be Carrie Prejean. It seems that the Miss USA contest now officially supports homosexuality and in essence says to all contestants they most accept it as well.

We live in an increasingly immoral society and Christians and others who hold to traditional morality are being steamrollered by a well financed, well-thought out movement that is essentially anti moral and specifically anti Christian. But we Christians are so gullible that we keep watching their TV shows and going to their movies and buying their books, putting millions of dollars into their pockets. How dumb is that?

Unless you are a closet homosexual, normal people have no business supporting the industry that is trying to destroy us. We need to stop buying the music of those who push homosexuality. We need to stop seeing the movies of those who push that agenda and do the same with TV programming. Your voice will not be heard but your dollars will be missed. I believe that we, who are normal, spend enough money on entertainment that our dollars would be missed. It would probably shut down some TV shows and cause some movies to go bust. And it would deprive their movement of their financial support which comes from a lot of Christian pockets. There is no better time than now to stop your support. Families need the money in these tight economic times. Holding on to our money in these tough economic times may cause some of these to go out of business permanently. Never waste a good economic crisis.

It is time for us to put our money where our morality is. Stop supporting the homosexual agenda with your money. They cannot boycott you, they cannot call you names, they have no right to your spending habits. Over night we could stop some of this nonsense and take away their platform if we would spend our money elsewhere. It seems like an easy and smart thing to do.
