I'd like to say "F" Perez Hilton first off but that wouldn't be nice, although it would be nicer than dropping a pile of manure on the head of the overtly mouthy ass who seems to think everyone should ascribe to his philosophy in homosexual and lesbian marriage
Carrie Prejean's answer wasn't "controversial" at all. She said what she believes in and proclaimed her moral and Christian values. She was asked a question and answered it. Pretty simple. You just didn't like her answer because it didn't suit your agenda.
What most decent people don't understand is why in hell anyone even let you, a nobody who is lower than whaleflop at the bottom of the ocean, ask a question in the first place? Where did they dig you up from? Must have been one helluva deep hole to get you out of to crawl to the surface, and try to push your agenda on a contest where your sexual beliefs had no place, nor purpose.
People like you do more to churn hatred and discontent among the people of California and the nation than you could ever think possible. When people like you speak for gays and lesbians, or are taken as being spokespersons for them as a whole, you create a greater schism than ever existed.
So crawl back in your dark hole until you can spew poison again. Someone will tip over the rock or turn over the turd and let you out another time.

California Illogic and Laws that Seem to Have Been a Waste Writing
Here's some ideas to help Arnold fill the state coffers. Of course, the Granola State" is so filled with political idiocy, that passing a law that makes sense, has teeth, is enforceable, and furthermore IS enforced, is as likely as freedom from drought and having a heavy snowstorm in San Diego in August. Regardless, here goes:
Raise the fine for talking on a non-hands-free cell phone from $20 to $500. Every day I see dozens of people using their same old cell phone slammed to their ear, dialing it or otherwise scoffing at the law that was passed a year ago. Twenty bucks doesn't cover the cost of a Bluetooth device but would cover the cost of a wired headset. But when it's only twenty bucks and the chances of getting caught are about zero, why bother. RAISE THE FINES, IMPROVE SAFETY, AND ENFORCE THE LAW!
Raise the fines for cutting into the carpool lanes in non-access areas and enforce it. It's dangerous and people do it all the time. Double the fine for crossing the double yellow line to enter a carpool lane and if the person is a single occupant, double the carpool lane fine too. That should get someone's attention. On San Diego's Interstate 5, place an officer or two on the Del Mar Heights bridge to watch traffic heading north and watch them cutting in before and after the bridge; have several motor officers on I-5 north of the bridge. You could pay a politicians salary multiple times a week with the tickets you could write there. RAISE THE FINES, IMPROVE SAFETY, AND ENFORCE THE LAW!
Enforce the speed limit within reason. If that means installing speed cameras, then do it and collect the fines and slow down the blithering idiots who seem to think that driving at 100 miles an hour and weaving in and out on the freeway is somehow okay! Maybe if the speed limit was enforced and the fines were really heavy when someone were caught, the message might get through. Endangering everyone else's life just because you drive like an asshole on fire isn't justified in any case. You should be caught, fined and your license revoked. And, if you get caught driving again, your vehicle should be impounded and your ass thrown in jail. Wanton disregard for public safety shouldn't be acceptable behavior, even though this is California! RAISE THE FINES, IMPROVE SAFETY, AND ENFORCE THE LAW!
Go after all the outdated and unregistered vehicles and make them comply with current registration requirements. Vehicles that are unregistered or outdated have high levies placed on them, so collect it rather than allow them to be run on the streets for months or years while not collecting a cent! The State has raised the vehicle license fee on the rest of us to make up what they don't get from these scofflaws. Have the police and parking enforcement cruise through parking lots, private developments and gated communities and ticket vehicles with outdated registrations. Tow vehicles that are unregistered. Those that are junks yet are still roaming the streets should be noted as unsafe for use and impounded. Quit taxing the crap out of everyone else to make up for the inadequacies of the State in enforcing the laws that are on the books already. RAISE THE FINES, IMPROVE SAFETY, AND ENFORCE THE LAW!
Can anyone see the gist of the above? This State makes laws they don't enforce, or perhaps never intend to enforce. They simply place them on the books to placate the general public, like MADD and other safety minded groups. Then the legislators can brag that they passed a law, even though it is hollow and really presents no positive impact on public safety. And if accident statistics go down, they can tell you it's because of their work on passing the law; except that in reality it's probably a glitch or because someone cooked or skewed the statistics to read how they wanted them to read this week or month or year.
Time to quit being a Girly Man, Arnold! You accuse everyone else of it....look in the mirror and see how you acquiesce to the political machine and pass taxes and laws to screw the ordinary citizen, while doing nothing to properly use the laws that we already passed to protect us.

What Now, Oh Great Leader?
Face it, America, we're screwed. Not that I feel like purveying gloom and doom to those who read my blog. No, that has been done very effectively by the economy and furthered by the idiocy of the current leadership of our state and nation.
The entire world is on the brink of disaster, with war on the minds of many countries, as Obama tries to "make nice" with them. To many he's seen as a brilliant speaker and a non-issue, the same as he was on the campaign trail ,when he caught the fancy of so many idealistic voters. It's telling when the glut of press reports out of a country he's in, are on Michelle Obama's clothing, rather then President Obama's speeches or actions. To the rest of the world, she's more interesting, I suppose!
The leadership has squandered out tax dollars effectively giving billions, leading into trillions of dollars of debt to companies who don't deserve a dime. AIG is just one glaring example of how handing out cash unfettered by proper and adequate regulation ends up feeding an alligator with fresh meat. When the meat is gone, he comes back for more, and all you have is the detritus he's left behind in the pond. That's what AIG has left for the taxpayers, my friends. If you don't know the word, it's what comes out of the other end of the 'gator. And, in the case if AIG 'gator, it seems to have a huge hunger and the poor employees and "little guys and gals" are whats getting squashed under the outflow. The executives are riding high on the head of the 'gator eating the fresh meat and probably will for the foreseeable future because while Washington talks tough, they don't follow through. Only on the little guy will they put the screws to them and ruin their life...not to the big guy.
Take Bernard Madoff for example. How did he get away for so long with so much? Didn't the Securities and Exchange Commission see something wrong there? Greedy people were the most likely explanation, as Ponzi schemes feed off those who seek high returns on their money in markets where the general rate of return just isn't all that great. The old adage "if it seems too good to be true, it usually is" always seems to be factual. In this case it was disastrous for all those investors. Madoff will likely die in prison with no enjoyment of his swindled money from here on in, but that's little comfort to those he screwed with his scheme. Then again, I ask the same question...why was there no watchdog at any level seeing this couldn't happen, especially at this level? Was the government blind or just turning a blind eye?
I have little faith in the current administration as I see it being filled with tax evaders and people who have had questionable pasts. Obama seems to draw these people into his circle and promote them to what could be their highest level of incompetence. Will this be the "peter principle" at work once again in Washington? We'll see soon enough as the bottom continues to fall out.
Obama will continue his tirade that all this mess belongs to Bush. And any success will be Obama's. You and I know that's a bunch of bull! Bush didn't start the housing crisis nor the meltdown on Wall Street. It was started by bad decisions in Washington, mostly forged by the Democrats and the illogical mantra that everyone deserves a house regardless of whether you can afford one or not. Push Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into cramming low down loans down the banks throats to keep money flowing, and add in the liar loans, and here we are. Cities crumbling, and once prospering neighborhoods becoming ghost towns.
Nice work, politicians. You sure have done well in screwing America, haven't you?
