Is Carrie Prejean Stupid or Vilified?

I just watched the entire interview with ousted beauty queen Carrie Prejean about the latest scandal about her alleged "sex tape" and this is another case of her being blasted in the media because of her being a conservative Christian speaking out on her beliefs. When I heard the rumor of the new scandal I was obviously annoyed thing "Girl, how dumb can you be, especially if you knew you had a tape out there!" Let's just say it is worth watching the interview on The Today Show (November 10, People section). Her "sex tape" was not her having sex with herself or anyone else. Actually if was a dumb choice of hers to do what is now commonly known as "sexting"-- a one time text of a short video she took of herself only on her phone for her boyfriend when she was 17. The lesson she says is really for all teens across America and that is everything you do affects you for the rest of your life and can come back to haunt you. She was not proud of her actions, tho' she never thought it would come out or that her ex even had the clip still on his phone. But she feels it only enhances the message she shares in her new book Still Standing. Though the media will continue to try and vilify her because she is a conservative, her message is worth hearing, girls, please think before you grab your camera -- there is NO privacy these days with the access to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. What you do is out there for the world to see and you to regret! And I can't end this blog without sharing my agreement with her on her point that if she were a liberal non of this would be in the press. It's interesting, isn't it, that there is free of speech for a liberal point of view, but when it is a conservative point of view the media goes on a mission to discredit and destroy. It has become politically correct to be everything anti-Christian but for those who speak up for Jesus, you will be vilified in the media....hmmm, doesn't the Bible tell us that will happen? Sad but happening. Check out the link below for the full interview at the Today Show (November 10, People Section)
