Personally, I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose truth or opposite truth. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that truth should be between a person and his or her conscience and, no offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.
Lisa Leff, in a revealing piece in the Sacramento Bee, points to accusations of false-witness-bearing made by a pageant official against Miss California, Carrie Prejean:
SAN FRANCISCO – A spokesman for the Miss California pageant on Monday denied that contest officials told the reigning beauty queen to publicly apologize for her statement opposing same-sex marriage during the Miss USA pageant.
Carrie Prejean, 21, claimed during Sunday services at her San Diego church that producers of the state pageant told her to apologize to the gay community and to avoid mentioning religion when she appeared last week on the “Today” show and other national programs.
But San Diego public relations representative Roger Neal, who said he was one of the people advising her, called those claims lies. Contest officials urged Prejean only to reiterate that she didn’t mean to offend anyone and to use the national spotlight “to heal some wounds,” he said.
“She chose to stand up in church and in front of the media and say something that was a lie,” Neal said. “No one ever said, ‘You must apologize to the gay community,’ and no one ever said, ‘Don’t talk about your faith or your religion.’ Those two things never came out of anybody’s mouth.”
Prejean didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Monday.

Be patient. It’s only Wednesday, and San Diego’s Christian beauty queen Carrie Prejean was busy having breakfast with Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization for Marriage yesterday. Give her some time. Maybe she’ll share something other than opposite truth on the 700 Club this coming Thursday morning, or perhaps when she launches NOM’s new anti-marriage-equality ad. She hasn’t even had time to apologize to her non-gay-activist sister for yet another little opposite truth.
Remember, patience, like non-opposite-truth, is a virtue.
But, since Miss California is going to be so very busy with NOM’s $1.5 anti-marriage-equality campaign, perhaps she should consider turning in her tiara.

One Comment so far. Comments are closed.What is it with the RRRW that they are incapable of telling the truth? Oh, that’s right. When you don’t have any truth on your side it’s pretty hard to find any to tell.
