Sarah Palin stands up for Miss California, Carrie Prejean


Miss California, Carrie Prejean (upper photo), Miss USA runner-up, has taken a lot of heat (abuse, actually) from left-wing liberals because of her stand against gay marriage.

Miss Prejean’s statement was:

We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (lower photo) as come to the defense of Carrie Prejean with this statement:

The liberal onslaught of malicious attacks against Carrie Prejean for expressing her opinion is despicable.

Carrie and I spoke soon after the attacks started; I can relate as a liberal target myself. What I find so remarkable is that these politically-motivated attacks fail to show that what Carrie and I believe is also what President Obama and Secretary Clinton believe — marriage is between a man and a woman.

I applaud Donald Trump for standing with Carrie during this time. And I respect Carrie for standing strong and staying true to herself, and for not letting those who disagree with her deny her protection under the nation's First Amendment Rights.

Our Constitution protects us all — not just those who agree with the far left.
