Un-Liberaled Woman

Mix a decreasing in significance gossip blogger (who’ll support any candidate that has a donkey in front of their state’s initials - heeehaw, heehaw) and an Americana beauty pageant that still has life only thanks to middle- and small-town America supporting it with an audience and candidates - gee, what could possibly go wrong??? Cue event-inappropriate Q&A session…(via HotAir)

Oh, now wait – the obligatory example of “tolerance” from the liberal-smearanyconservativeonanylie-”progressive”

But guess what, calling those who hold an opposing opinion “dumb bitch(es)”- that’s the REAL way to uniting people together. Pfffffffffff. O-okay, you whiny nitwit. It’s guys like this that come to mind when my gay guy friends tell me they have a hard time finding a great guy to date (that and the lack of gay guys who are I guess super KU fans).

If you’re going to ask a controversial question, then you should have the maturity to expect the answer may not suit you. And when it doesn’t that’s not a free pass to act like a 2-year-old with a temper tantrum just because you’ve got a webcam pointed at your face.

I admire a supporter of gay marriage more when they treat those who oppose their greatest political desire with the same respect they wish to be given. I mean I wish everyone could accept that I am the supermodel-turned-actress-turned-songtress the world is missing (Sasshay-Shante!) but just because they might disagree doesn’t mean they are a “dumb bitch.” And while my supermodel day dreams are not as essential to our societal fabric the same way the gay marriage debate is, it does speak to the heart of how to earn (yes, EARN) the understanding, compassion and respect of those whose views are not in alignment with your own.

It’s bigots like Perez who hide behind a mask of anonymity and playground insults because they are the ones who are the true cowards of having a real, adult discussion.

UPDATE: Andrea Tantaros brings up an EXCELLENT point:

The double standard is astounding.

I didn’t hear the outrage when Joe Biden said that he and Barack Obama are against gay marriage. No incendiary language, no insults, no four letter obscenities.

Why is it acceptable for Obama and Biden to have this opinion but not a conservative female? And where are the women’s rights and feminist groups to speak out against this kind of language? Or gay rights groups to denounce this clown because he does nothing to advance their agenda of tolerance? The same place they were when other females who possessed traditional values or beliefs like Sarah Palin exercised their right to free speech and expressed these views: they’re nowhere to be found.

This is what I brought up in my earlier post about the US’s current quagmire on Gay Marriage:

But a civil discussion, on the debate of gay marriage, just isn’t sexy enough for CNN when they can put out the stereotype of Cletus the ‘redneck hick who done don’t know no bett’r.’ Cause right, all evangelicals are a). never articulate or use logic in their reasoning, and b). are always the “only” ones who oppose gay marriage statutes (eyes rolling). A lot of fellow Democrats sure had to vote for California’s Prop. 8 in order for it to pass, but I loooooove how that is never reported.

And just for the record, here’s what Perez has said (or lack of saying) about Obama not supporting gay marriage here, here, here and here. Multple times just having a “strong disagreement” with Obama’s view.  Even though he states that Obama has “Thus far, he’s FAILED us on gay marriage” there’s no name calling, no accusations of how Obama should be ashamed of his view, or even that Obama is a “dumb bitch.” Hypocrite in the hoooooooooooooouse!

President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.

Obama supports civil unions just like Miss California but hmmm…something’s missing. something’s missing – oh right the same standard is! But like this is any surprise to people who’ve debated liberals on in the past. Heh.
