So, the first thing I did after this was write a letter to that twit of a moron Perez Hilton (http://iliiifieslessons.blogspot.com/2009/04/open-letter-to-perez-hilton.html), which is my own fault, because his fifteen minutes of fame have been over fifteen minutes ago and me even giving him attention only helps his cause, which his to keep the name of a media whore in the news for one more second. So, I’d like to follow it up by writing an open letter to the WOMAN (and those of you who know me KNOW I DO NOT use that term lightly) who got this all started. Now, let me first say that I don’t know her personally and just because she agrees on one thing I agree with does NOT mean she’s THE woman, but she certainly proved she is A WOMAN. For all I know she could be like the rest of the little girls who sleep around, drink, smoke, do drugs… blah blah blah… (READ here for more: http://iliiifieslessons.blogspot.com/2009/02/1-in-million.html) BUT… I’ve learned to give credit where credit is due, and for those who know me that does NOT mean “giving credit for good intentions”, it simply means giving her credit for some, even if it’s not all. So here’s my letter to one of the most BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I’ve ever seen and heard of…
Dear Carrie Prejean,
For once in my life I am proud of someone who is representing California. Did I ever think it would come in the form of a pageant contestant? No. Would I have preferred it come from a political official? Certainly, who wouldn’t? However, who better to speak her mind than someone involved in an event that probably gets as much if not more attention than most elections. I don’t know you, you don’t know me, so why would you care about what I say, but I and the people like me are VERY proud of you for standing by what you believe and NOT just saying the popular vote. I don’t know what the new Miss America’s response would’ve been to the question and whether she would’ve made the popular answer or not, but I do know that had you won and said what Perez wanted you to say then you would’ve lost in the long run. I’ve been watching your press run after and I could not be more in awe of you. Thank you for continuing to stand on your beliefs and not backing down to pressure.
We live in a celebrity obsessed world, which is proof in Perez resorting to “reaching out” to REAL celebrities who just like him do what they do and say what they say for the PUBLICITY! I don’t know what he thinks having Miley’s “opinion” on the subject is going to do, but all it does for me is proves that Miley Cyrus is no different than the rest of the media whores who will say what’s popular just to keep themselves in the good eye of the liberal media and public. If anything, what this means is that Miley’s publicist told her what to say and she’s just a puppet like the rest of the celebrities.
What I find sad is that they then accuse people like us of “hate”. We “hate” gays because we believe in the Bible and that marriage is between a man and a woman. We “hate” gays because we don’t agree with their CHOICE of lifestyle. I laugh at these kind of statements because we both know it has NOTHING to do with the gay person personally and everything to do with us doing what we have a RIGHT to do, exercise our God given and constitutional right to express ourselves.
Hypocrites like Perez Hilton who DEMAND respect, acceptance and tolerance that have created a war over personal beliefs. Respect is NOT given, it’s earned. How can we accept people for their beliefs and way of life if they REFUSE to do the same for us? I believe (with a few minor extremist exceptions) we’ve done a great job in tolerating a group of people who DEMAND they be treated equal yet take every chance to make themselves separate and “special”. If you want to be treated as equal, you should start treated yourself as such, am I right?
Now, I don’t know where you stand on other issues, I know nothing of the life you live and the choices you’ve made, but I do know you have the right to believe what you want and live the way you CHOOSE to do so and I respect that right. But, what I DO know is that you had an opportunity to sit on your hands, say what “everybody” (Perez) wanted you to say and become Miss America… INSTEAD you did what I’m so certain you were raised to do, stand up for what you believe. This world needs more WOMEN like you. I’ve placed on you on a short list of WOMEN I admire, so I hope you don’t mind being on the same list as WOMEN like Condoleeza Rice, Ann Coulter and Brigitte Gabriel.
You will forever be in my constant prayers and I hope you continue to be the WOMAN God made you to be. I pray God will bless you for standing up for what you believe and being who you KNOW you are. I may never be blessed enough to meet you in person (as much as I pray I might someday) but I’d like you to know (on the off chance you actually read this) that you’ve motivated me to keep on believing that there still are REAL WOMEN in the world. You’ve inspired me to continue expecting more of the females around me, rather than settling for what is beneath what I deserve. Thank you.
God bless you,
Marcel Terrazas
