Why can't Miss California be entitled to her own opinion?

Why can't Miss California be entitled to her own opinion?

So what; she doesn't believe in gay marriage. That means she can't win. I thought America was a free country. But it's apparent that you must say, and think whatever is PC or your blacklisted. Just the fact that she had the balls to stick to her beliefs, instead of spewing out what people wanted to hear, makes me think she should have won. America: Losing more and more freedom everyday!

I'm not because she lost, and I never said I share her opinion. What worries me is WHY she lost. She had an opinion, and because it wasn't PC, she was blackballed. The constitution doesn't say anything about beauty pagents, but it says something about freedom of speech, and freedom of beliefs. However, it feels like those who don't agree with left-wing mass-media, are losing a little more of those rights each day. No you won't go to jail for expressing your opinion on TV, or in the press, but be prepared to shunned or forever have a negative stigma attached to your name. If you didn't vote for Obama, you're a racist. If you don't support gay marriage, then you are an ignorant moron. If you for the right to bear arms then you're a redneck hick. It worries me that a lot of people deep down share Miss Californias opinion, but were too SCARED to admit it. That doesn't sound like America to me. Sounds a little Nazish.

Apparently she does have her own opinion.

She wasn't jailed for her beliefs, she's just wrong. Like you. Free speech doesn't mean you aren't responsible for the things that you say. It just means that the government won't stop you from saying them. Was she censored by the FCC?

PC is just a stupid way to say Polite. For some reason, a lot of people like yourself have decided that basic manners are something to fight against. You're wrong about that too.

EDIT: Okay, I see where you're getting confused. Everyone has free speech, not just people who agree with you. So she freely expressed her opinion, and several other people freely expressed theirs. Free speech won!

There is no constitutional protection against people thinking less of you if you say something stupid, as Miss California just found out. Nor should there be. Who wants the government controlling what we think?

"America: Losing more and more freedom everyday!"

LOL! Sorry, there's nothing in the constitution about winning beauty pagents


EXCUSE ME WTF R U DOIN?
Or, how about this craaaazy idea...maybe she just wasn't the best contestant? She was competing with 49 other women. She didn't win. There are literally dozens of factors in deciding a beauty pageant winner. And you think this one statement caused this particular woman not to win? REALLY? Oh, but I guess she was hands-down the best in every single regard, is that what you're saying? Is FOX an expert on beauty pageants now?

No, she didn't lose because of her statement. She lost because she wasn't the best.

She may have her own opinion... However she must be willing to face the outcome. Which she has done very well. Bravo to her. Anyone remember the name of the winner?

She is entitled to her opinion, no matter how dumb or blonde it is, as long as she looks hot in a bikini!

In a liberal world, you're only entitled to a liberal opinion. All others are unacceptable.

she can
and
she is

the "opinions" of beauty queens have ALWAYS been a part of the competition.

your just mad because the person who shares Your opinion didn't win

She is, but she was too stupid to know what they are looking for in a beauty paegant. They dont want your opinion when they ask you those questions (all are usually controversial) they want you to give the answer that says the most neutral and "go america!" as possible, and is seamless in execution.

Because she stands in the way of the gay agenda.

So we're positive that she lost because of the answer that she gave? Her answer wasn't well spoken either, regardless of it's message.

How is a chick losing a beauty contest equivalant to Americans losing freedoms? Don't you think that's a rather large leap?


Dana B
She is entitled to her opinion, and the Miss USA people were entitled to not choose her because of her opinion, if that is what happened. She doesn't have a constitutional right to be Miss USA, after all. Nobody said having an opinion or expressing that opinion where you know it will be unpopular would be completely without consequences, just that you have a right to have and express it.


Kevin
she is entitled to think whatever she wants. hahahahahahaha what freedoms did she lose? she didnt win a modeling competition lmao


Amarkov
She is entitled to her stupid opinion. That does not mean she is entitled to have other people support it.


pissedoffbastard13
Because the Gay Agenda demands that you can't express any opinion the queers disagree with! Political correctness is getting more like National Socialism every day.

She is entitled to her own opinion, but Miss America is supposed to be a supporter of both sides and be a uniter of all people.


Entirely of This World
Everyone, yes, even morons, are entitled to their opinion.


lucifel_kira
Its not that she isn't entitled to her own opinion, it is the fact that she had no real reasons for they way she thinks.
