Whether you care for Miss America and the hooha, the present winner needs your support.

Kira Kazansev is being attacked for her work with Planned Parenthood.
I imagine they will try to get her to give up her crown or for it to be taken from her. It will get ugly.

1. WTF?

K&R!

And if she had been an anti-abortion activist, that would be OK.

[Hoppy]

2. While I agree with her position, does anyone give a shit what Miss America's platform is?

We will never hear another word or press release from her until September, '15.

The only names from Miss America I can recall are Bess Meyerson (who?) and Vanessa Williams.


Now, if she does get flak from her platform, then we will hear from/about her.

5. Go back a few years ago to DU when Miss America said she opposed gay marriage

Lotta people here cared

3. I can't imagine who has the interest or time to delve into this young woman's life.

If she believes in what she's doing, it shouldn't matter what anyone says. Maybe she can enlighten some of the dimmer bulbs who follow pageants.

10. Welcome to DU. n/t

6. Isn't Planned Parenthood that organization that forces women to have abortions?

I hear also that they hate children and might even have something to do with eating puppies.


Do I really need the sarcasm thingy?

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Lately?

Yes.

13. Took me a moment to catch that. Yep..isn't that the truth.?

If people actually read the names of posters, they might have a clue when somebody is kidding.

I had a post banned because I put a picture up.
The Lady, who posted said something like. "My neighbor keeps throwing his trash and garbage over my fence. I've talked to him about it and he just hollered at me and cursed me out....What can I do??

I posted some fairly helpful thoughts and then said ..."Or you could do this>>"
(I posted a pic of a house burning down)

Oh Man...the proverbial shit hit the fan...I was alerted on and people lectured me on how nasty that would be to actually burn the guy's house down....I could kill him and his family and children and even his dog.

I didn't say anything but felt like saying "Oh for pete sakes...you actually thought I was SERIOUS about possibly killing somebody over some trash being thrown in a yard.

I spent the remainder of the day banging my head against the wall.

7. Ever notice criticism from the Left is never a problem?

9. How do you show support

Without supporting the unrealistic standards of beauty and the industries associated with it?

11. Ah, THAT kind of "hoo-ha" (nt)
