Former Miss California more bold and articulate than ever

Sunday, June 14, 2009, 3:51 pm |

After avoiding media the first 24 hours after she was “fired” as Miss California, Carrie Prejean did several big TV interviews Thursday and Friday.

I’m proud of what she’s saying. More bold and articulate than ever, Carrie is expressing her disgust with the Miss California / Miss USA pageant’s intolerance of freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, and freedom to support natural marriage between a man and a woman.

Right now, Carrie is the #1 voice in America educating people that there is a war against free speech and against marriage. She’s doing such a good job, the anti-God liberals hate her all the more. Pray for her, won’t you?

Showing his vindictiveness, homosexual activist Keith Lewis, director of the Miss California USA Pageant, has replaced Carrie at the Special Olympics, which Carrie has been involved in for years. Learn more about Keith Lewis from my previous blog.

Carrie has issued a statement and is doing updates on her blog.

Safeway and Sacramento pushing ‘LGBT Pride’ on children

Sunday, June 14, 2009, 8:15 am |

A few days ago,  I received a disturbing email from a SaveCalifornia.com partner:

Dear Randy:

I was shocked recently when I walked into my local Safeway store here in California to see a sign proclaiming that all Safeway stores were celebrating June as “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.”  The sign proclaiming this was an official Safeway sign and it was prominently displayed to be seen when customers walked in the front door.  It had a picture of Harvey Milk and explained the great things he had done for gay and lesbian “civil rights.”

I asked to speak to the store manager.  When he arrived I politely explained that I thought it was wrong for Safeway to promote just one side of such a controversial moral issue.  I pointed out that the recent fight over homosexual marriage [Prop. 8] showed how controversial the subject was and that at my house we taught traditional family values.

He agreed it was inappropriate for Safeway to take only one side on this controversial subject…AND TOOK THE SIGN DOWN.

This shows the power of one person speaking out.  I urge everyone to go into your local Safeway store and speak to the manager concerning this.

Michael C.

This should anger you as much as it angered Michael. Safeway, which owns 1,775 stores in the U.S. and Canada, as well as 312 Vons stores in Southern California and Nevada, is openly promoting homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality to children and adults alike. If you didn’t already know it, Safeway, which is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a big-time supporter of the “LGBT” lifestyle.

Take action your community: Think about the children shopping for groceries with their mothers, and let your care for them motivate you to walk into your local Safeway or Vons today. If you see the the grocery-store-sponsored “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month” sign, do what Michael did and speak firmly but friendly to the store manager. If the sign comes down, be thankful. If the manager won’t take the sign down, tell him or her that you and your friends will take your grocery shopping elsewhere.

Oppose SB 572, the ‘Harvey Milk Gay Day’ bill

Even worse than Safeway’s perverse, in-store promotion is SB 572, the “Harvey Milk Gay Day” bill, which is scheduled for a June 17 committee vote in Sacramento. This extreme, anti-family bill is authored by homosexual activist Mark Leno and 19 Democrat co-authors.

SB 572 pressures public schools — from kindergarten on up — to perform “suitable commemorative exercises” promoting what homosexual activist Harvey Milk believed in: the entire homosexual, bisexual, transsexual agenda, along with a vehement hatred of “organized religion.”

There is no parental opt-out and no definition or limit to the “exercises” the bill would make students do every May 22, which SB 572 would label “Harvey Milk Day.”

If SB 572 becomes law, schoolchildren would have positively portrayed to them homosexual experimentation, homosexual “marriages,” sex-change operations, and anything else that’s “in the closet.” Like he did last year, Governor Schwarzenegger should veto this very inappropriate bill, which has nothing to do with academic excellence.

TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW

Last year, every single Democrat in the California State Assembly voted “yes” to impose Harvey Milk Gay Day upon K-12 government schools. Fortunately, Governor Schwarzenegger quietly vetoed it. SaveCalifornia.com is pursuing another veto. This is why pro-family Californians must raise their voices loudly at each step of the legislative process to say NO, NO, NO to SB 572.

Please pick up the phone and tell Sacramento, “I want you to oppose SB 572, Harvey Mlik Day. This bill would allow gay pride parades and LGBT-promoting assemblies at public schools for children as young as kindergarten. I and other parents are very opposed to this special-interest attack on children’s innocence. The large majority of Californians are opposed to it too. Schools should teach academics, not sexual experimentation. Oppose SB 572.”

Call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (916) 445-2841
Call the 8 Democrats and 3 Republicans on the Assembly Education Committee
Email Schwarzenegger and your own California state legislators

Why Carrie Prejean lost her earthly crown

Thursday, June 11, 2009, 5:43 pm |

First, a homosexual activist “judge” kept Carrie Prejean from winning the Miss USA contest.

Next, the homosexual “marriage” activists who led the California pageant tried to get Carrie fired, but Donald Trump said no.

Finally, the homosexual activist director of the Miss California Pageant persisted and got rid of Carrie.

Keith Lewis, the director of the Miss California USA Pageant, is an open homosexual and obviously very insecure. After Carrie said on national TV on April 19 that marriage is only for a man and a woman, Lewis said he was personally offended. For weeks, he campaigned unprofessionally, publicly and continually attacking Carrie and aggressively lobbied Donald Trump to fire her.

Lewis’ anti-natural-marriage campaign showed its venom on May 11. That’s when Lewis and then-co-director Shanna Moakler (who strongly believes in homosexual “marriage” and was a Playboy centerfold) held a Beverly Hills news conference blasting Carrie for “unauthorized” speaking engagements at her church and at a traditional marriage news conference, as well as Carrie’s lingerie and swimsuit photos, and called for her to be fired.

The next day, May 12, pageant owner Donald Trump directed everyone to “make nice” and said Carrie would keep her crown. But what does oil have in common with water or light in common with dark? The 12-page contract Carrie signed is horrible and gave Keith Lewis so much power over her.

The day after the “unity event” in New York, Moakler and Lewis came back to California. That same day, Moakler resigned from her pageant post to protest Carrie keeping her crown. And Lewis began “keeping a file” on Carrie in an effort to eventually fire her himself.

That takes us to now.

There’s every indication that Lewis had daggers in his eyes for Carrie ever since she said she doesn’t believe in homosexual “marriage” like he does.

And there is evidence that Lewis tried to muzzle Carrie from speaking at events of her choosing. Email transcripts between Carrie and Lewis suggest he had a problem with her speaking at the Special Olympics, while, at the same time, suggesting she pose for Playboy and appear on grungy “reality TV” shows.

On Thursday, I listened to Carrie on the Sean Hannity radio show, who now has the help of pro-family attorney Chuck LiMandri, who’s issued a statement accusing Keith Lewis of fabricating his claims.

On the show, Carrie said Lewis wanted her to attend a documentary promoting gay “marriage” at the Sundance Film Festival and she refused. “If I’m in breach of contract because I didn’t go to a gay event, so be it,” she said.

As for the Playboy magazine offer, Carrie says this “shows their hidden agenda…they wanted me to break to the contract [prohibiting nude and semi-nude photos]…they wanted me out from day one….I have the email to prove it.”

“This is happening to me because of my stance on gay marriage,” Carrie said. “It’s not because of the contract…It’s really taught me how intolerant some people can be…It’s not right and it’s just plain wrong what’s happened to me.”

I agree. The big picture here is the blatant intolerance of the homosexual agenda, which PUNISHES anyone who disagrees with them.

If Carrie were my sister, I would have encouraged her to quit a few weeks ago. She had “appealed” the bad conduct of her boss Keith Lewis to a higher judge, Donald Trump, the owner of the pageant. But Lewis kept his job and kept targeting Carrie. Apparently, the animosity of a homosexual activist against those who disagree will never agree to peace. 

Quitting would have put Carrie in the driver’s seat. She could have told America how she stood on principle about her public appearances and had to quit rather than give up her principles. Why agree to have your free speech controlled by a homosexual activist who hates you and targets you for your stand on marriage?

But look what’s happened. Keith Lewis and Carrie’s detractors aggressively rode the media circuit the first 24 hours of this story. While Carrie was hiding from the media that day and turning down interview requests, she was publicly labeled a contract-breaker. By not anticipating the firing and not doing media, Carrie was called the bad guy and the homosexual activists cheered. Twenty-two-year-old Carrie needs better public relations advisors!

To many, this is a case of “he said, she said.” America clearly witnessed and understood the first intolerant homosexual attack from Perez Hilton upon Carrie during the Miss USA Pageant. But now that another homosexual activist, Pageant Director Keith Lewis, has attacked Carrie on a technicality, which involves details about public appearances that are cloudy or at least unclear. America can’t correctly judge this.

Through it all, Carrie has been given an incredible platform and opportunity to speak for God’s truth. My hope is that Carrie will seek God’s biblical wisdom for her next step. Personally, I would like to see her reject fleshy beauty pageants and the lusty photos she’s posed in, which, so far, she’s defended. It would be helpful to America for her to write a book that honors what God created – the natural family and moral standards for sexuality – and championing the American ethic of free speech.

But most of all, I hope Carrie will take some time to grow deeper in her faith and in everything seek to be a holy example for girls and young women. I don’t want teen girls to dream about strutting on stage for a beauty contest or taking risqué photos or getting breast implants like Carrie did. God created women to be much better than that.

Get a healthy perspective on the topic of outer beauty versus inner beauty. Listen to the SaveAmerica.com Radio Show with former model Jennifer Strickland. This is a very stimulating discussion to help women develop a true identity and give up their false identities. (Men, you need to hear this too, to understand the women and girls in your family.)

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:30 NIV
