Conservative hypocrisy
 |
Miss America:
Ann Coulter has an article on the Miss California debacle. I have blogged about my reservations about a young girl, who calls herself Christian, posing semi-nude to enhance her modeling career. Carrie Prejean defended herself by saying that she was:
- Young (seventeen at the time)
- The photographer took advantage of her
But, the reality is that she did it, and she seems to think it is quite acceptable to do these kinds of photo shoots.
Ann Coulter, in her article defending the smear campaign which Carrie has been getting on her stand against homosexual marriage, doesn't once talk about these serious issues which go against the grain of conservatism. Her whole article is her gripe against liberals. But, she is as witty as usual, and somehow manages to tie in burqas with semi-nude photos, as though disallowing (or frowning upon) the latter is a track straight to the former.
Conservatives have standards. And those who purport to be conservatives should aspire to standards, and not spend their days berating their Enemy Number One. By constantly running after liberals, they paradoxically start taking on those very values which they say they abhor. Carrie in semi-nude photos? If the liberals find fault in this then surely it must be OK, and we’ll defend it to death.
The joke is on Coulter. Liberals find nothing wrong with semi-nude photos. Liberals just don’t like semi-nude photos of conservatives. They call this hypocrisy. And this time, they are right.
