I am not a big fan of Donald Trump, but I am impressed with the way he handled this one.  According to Politico.com<\/a>, this is the comment he made on her answer to the question regarding gay marriage:<\/p>\n

\n

“It’s the same answer that the president of the United States gave,” Trump said. “She gave an honorable answer. She gave an answer from her heart.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am impressed.  That is the wisdom of Solomon.  If you condemn her, you have to condemn the President, whom the press loves.  However, (there’s always a however) I want to take another look at the whole dust-up.<\/p>\n

Miss California was a contestant in a beauty pageant–this was not a political talk show.  She answered graciously and gently that her personal view of marriage was the traditional one.  The majority of Americans agree with her.  Her state just passed a law stating that belief.  She has been treated very badly on the blog of the judge who asked the question.  She has been accused of all manor of things, and generally, has not been treated kindly by the press.  An innocent, honest comment has put her in a spotlight she was not seeking.  This incident shows how people with unpopular (unpopular in the press) beliefs are currently being treated by the press.  It is a subtle intimidation.  We are walking down a road that is in danger of being patrolled by thought police.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Donald Trump, for standing up for free speech, because that is what I believe you did today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
