A new Miss USA was crowned on Sunday night on FOX, but it wasn’t without some political controversy.
The Miss USA pageant was hosted by Julianne Hough and Terrence J, and Julianne served up the question about affordable health care to Miss DC, who is a scientist at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission:
I’m not as breathless over this as many other right-wing sites.
Her answer about healthcare is vague enough for her to be able to tack to a full-blown leftist point of view if necessary. It includes saying that she is a government employee and she is “granted healthcare.” So we must cultivate this arrangement so everyone in the world can have the opportunity for healthcare by having a job.
What kind of job? A government job?
I reserve my jubilation over her conservatism until she clarifies.
Her answer about feminism is a little better, but she seems to love the fact that she is a public worker.
Miss DC: As a woman scientist in the government, I would like to lately transpose the word feminism to equalism. I don’t really want to consider myself — try not to consider myself like this die hard, you know, like, oh, I don’t really care about men, but one thing I want to say, though, women, we are just as equal as men when it comes to opportunity in the workplace.
And I say firsthand I have witnessed the impact that women have in leadership in the medical sciences as well as in the office environment, so as Miss USA, I would hope to promote that kind of leadership responsibility globally to so many women worldwide.
Not to be a wet blanket, but her answers have a lot of homages to big government. I wouldn’t exactly call her conservative, which many sites are reporting. But, having said that, her answers weren’t cookie-cutter left-wing talking points. It leaves open the possibility that she is off the progressive plantation, and she won.
I’m not “sick of winning” yet, but I’ll take it.

Did you read Miss Minnesotastan’s answer on whether or not she is a feminist? Something to the effect that feminism today is about being whatever gender you want to be.
Beautiful woman. I wouldn’t throw her out of bed for eating crackers.
I’ve thought the same thing as she mentions…. that achieving health care among all citizens, since I believe they need to pay for it themselves, requires that they all be employed, or earning in some legitimate way. Solving Healthcare begins with solving unemployment.
The black community would disown her for blowing crackers though.
Just the fact she doesn’t spout off liberal talking points to placate the left is a little bit of a win. It isn’t like she was put on the spot like Carrie Prejean on gay marriage. But I don’t watch this crap anyway so whatever.
Her picture makes me breathless.
Them legs go all the waaaay up.
We’ll see if she apologizes for saying whatever she said. She’s a gubmint employee, so…
She looks like a white woman with a tan. Why don’t American Africans put forth authentic blacks for these contests? Run nappy headed Moochie or Maxine. Stop with the cultural appropriation.
Another person off the Plantation. That’s two here in the last 12 hours.
like Coach Bud Grant used to say, a win is a win
Not very black at all. 1/16th?
@Davy – you think they don’t enter? They just don’t win. Damn racists…
She is a military brat and well traveled – Her dad was a Marine.
She sounds very progressive. A beautiful version of Condoleezza Rice.
I was flipping channels last night and came upon the final 10 contestants.
5 black
5 white-ish
Hmmmm…
Then they introduced the judges:
A faggy fagg faggot designer, perhaps of the male gender.
An angry black social justice woman.
An angry hijab wearing muzzie woman.
A former winner.
Some other douche I can’t remember. I believe a whitey guaranteed to go along to get along.
Funny thing was, the black girls were not “Nubian princesses” with typical black features: lips, nose, hineys, etc.
They looked like dark skinned white women.
Methinks they were appropriating WHITEY!
She isn’t completely on-board with the conservative movement, but I think with a little one-on-one mentoring, I can bring her around.
