Thank You for Fighting the Good Fight Miss California

At long last, the Donald allowed Carrie Prejean, our Miss California, to keep her crown amidst waves of accusations and attempts to take away her title.  Imagine, all of this after she made a stilted, awkward, yet honest answer on national television. Boy, if giving an honest answer in public meant vicious scrutiny from the Left and the Downstream media, there’s no wonder why many of us would choose to remain silent.

I’m very happy for Miss Prejean. Her reputation, her image, and her family were dragged through the mud because of one short answer to a loaded, heavy handed question by someone who deserves little to no media attention.  She was treated like a conservative Republican running for the presidency. Can’t blame her for making a few missteps on her way to the Donald’s final decision. And to the end, she was gracious:

"My faith requires forgiveness," she said. "So I forgive everyone."

She remains steadfast on her convictions and will continue to do so as reigning Miss California:

"I’m going to resume my duties as Miss California, but also stay true to who I am and have my own personal opinions," she said. "We will see how we will balance the two."

In the end, we can’t forget her courage to voice what most of us Americans have deep in our hearts: the protection of what marriage is and has always been.  With the conflagration more or less doused after yesterday, my prayer is that we, especially myself, have that same hint of courage to stand up against the blind, intolerant Left from silencing us into a little corner of existence.

Miss California, God bless and Godspeed.
