That's not what I said.

Let's be honest... do you think a woman promoting conservatism on a network television contest will get anything but boos and raspberries from the crowd?

The world is becoming so vanilla and wussified. Glad I'll be gone when it finally becomes a real boring and dry place.

Point well taken. Also, we all know how liberal Gretchen Carlson, who made this decision as chairwoman of the Miss America board of directors, is.

Miss America contest removed swimsuit competition.

Miss USA and Miss America are two completely different pageant operations and they both run competitions on TV.

These links explain the difference.

OK, thanks for clarifying that. Looks like the OP was having a senior moment.

So, instead of judging on their looks they are going to judge them on what they believe? How they talk? What they think?

Hm, what's the difference? Judging for sport is still judging for sport. Like they'll feel any better if their personality wasn't GOOD enough vs their looks. lol

"To make you all feel better about your looks we are now going to judge you on your personality!! YAY!

How in the world did you manage to make this pageant decisive political?

I guess this is why my favorite conservatives will always be evangelicals, as a Christian although I can disagree with them on issues I know they at least have set principles that they don’t turn their back on and are lead to their beliefs by what they though God would do.
I think you've seen an interesting shift. The advent of Ron Paul and Libertarianism shifted the GOP towards actual dictionary definition liberalism (AKA maximum freedom, minimum government meddling). While the Evangelicals are still around, they've lost most of their power over the GOP. Older Conservatives probably welcome the move, but younger more Libertarian folks will denounce any attempt to tell people what to do and how to live.

Meanwhile the Left has gone full-retard on their own morality crusade. Obama's presidency saw a shift in the Democratic Party away from Liberalism and towards Progressivism. Modern Progressivism has a lot of roots in Neo-Marxism. You don't have to look far to find elements of the Far Left telling the whole world what to do, what to say and how to think. Congratulations Democrats, you're the new Puritans.

This is supposed to be a talent and scholarship contest, so why not focus on talent and scholarly pursuits?

They can say that all they want and even pretend to believe it but it was never about that. Being able to play the flute or vocalize a coherent thought has never been anything more than the tiebreaker between equally attractive young women.


And they can remake this contest into anything they want but I hope they aren't confused and mystified when ratings plummet and it fades away into irrelevance.
