It looks like all awards, from the Nobel to the ´´beauty´´ pagents are irrelevant now. It is all political correctness now. Contestant´s minds must be ´´right´´ and their speech carefully crafted to regurgitate the desired themes. None are worth watching any more.

Why did the contestants bother with wearing anything? Miss America, my foot, put some clothes on.

Actually, just having gorgeous women parading and posing outside schools...might do the trick.

FoxNews was running the snippet this morning. She could have taken a lesson on keeping her mouth closed and just smiling when her name was called.

I was watching my paint dry last night.
as to a 23 year participating in a floozy contest (oh I´m sorry I meant scholarship program) Too bad she has been corrupted by PC talk and not know anything about how this country was founded and what people gave up for freedom from tyranny.

Based only on the photos I´d say Miss SC was robbed. Actually, every other woman featured in these photos is more attractive and have better legs.

Conservatives have lost the culture wars, they are losing the demographics war and they are losing elections. Time is not going to be good to conservatives if they do not change.

They used to look so much prettier in one-piece swimsuits. Yes, I am old enough to remember that from when I was a kid.

I doubt she smart enough to think of the PC dialog (evil guns) for a sure win with the lib judges all by herself, guess that’s why they have agents.

she should read up on the people in DC who
have kids in private schools with armed guards protecting their little darlings. This also included the people in MSM. I think if O is serious about how safe the country would be if all guns were taken away should begin with example and dismiss his secret service personal. Just let
Michelle tell everyone that this is the law
spoken by her husband and voila, the problem will no longer exist, N´est pas?

Even stupid people are crowned Miss America. Sheesh!

Sounds like a PC freak show to me. Watched 49ers win and 50 y.o. Star Trek rerun instead.

Right...fight violence with photo shoots, not guns!

Ya´ know, every time one of these supposed ´exemplary´ young ladies opens her mouth at one of these ´meat viewing´ competitions, I can´t help but recall the old hippy bumper sticker...

"Visualize Whirled Peas!"

The absolute vapid mental state of ´progressives´ is on display daily as an utter lack of reality. Oddly - liberals think it´s the *only* reality. Must be why they piled up a quarter billion corpses last century vying for that ´Utopia´ thing...

You´d think a bright bimbo would at least comment on the spectacular death rate of youth attributable to alcohol.

Change into what, exactly, #7?

It´s fine with me if those libs who are not hypocritically using gun-wielding people to protect them, elect to not protect themselves and their loved ones.

I, however, are prepared to do just that if necessary.

Worked with lovely folks from the Phillipines and asked then how Marcos was able to take and hold the country for years - answer: "first they took away our guns. You cannot fight men with guns, when you have nothing."

I thought all the questions asked lacked any shred of merit - - and three tapdancers, a twirler, a modern dance contortionist, crooners and piano players in the final 10 - not much real talent anywhere there. But then that is Miss America 2013 style - and donuts for the losers - tacky tacky.

I work in a middle school and I would like to think that some of us could be armed with something a bit more dangerous than a stapler.

Haven´t watch a beauty contest for thirty years. Don´t miss it. Stupid, insipid bubbleheads.

Back in the 1960s, Miss Wisconsin´s talent was shooting a bow and arrow.
And the new Miss America said something so stupid, I was amazed! "You can´t fight violence with violence!"
Tell that to the police, or as others have noted, those upper class parents who hire armed guards...

I watched most of this thing last night, at least my tv was showing it and I looked at it periodically.

Certainly some more attractice women were eliminated all the way down, but Miss NY had a little more style than most.

As usual, I could probably find 50 better contestants by watching grocery store lines for a couple of hours, but they might not really want to trot around on stage in thrift store bikinis.

I think that if she meant: "We can´t fight planned violence with the threat of preventative violence....", she would be wrong.

It´s a beauty contest, not an intelligence contest...

So - - she´s from Brooklyn.

You got a problem with that?

I wonder how many armed security guards were there to escort them to their hotels

Airhead!

Weren´t these pageants deemed sexist and shut down? /S/

For the record, the last "pageant" that I watched was Miss Congeniality.

In the immortal words of Red Buttons.
" And the American People never got a Dinner".
Oy Vey.

I apologize for the second post but this Jem also comes to mind from George Gobel. " Did you ever get the feeling that the whole World was a Tuxedo , and you were a pair of brown Shoes"? Bada Bing!

She is originally from Opelika Al, (adjacent to Auburn - where she attended college). She only moved to NY in 2008 or so.

Just as NY has to import their senators (at least HRC) they seem to need to import their beauty pageant contestant winners.

Congrats to Auburn University. The new Miss America crowned last night went to AU and also Miss Alabama, girlfriend of the Univ of AL quarterback, who has been all over the news this week since seen at the championship game last Monday night. War Eagle!

Do you suppose armed guards would have stopped that poor girl from being raped right under the teacher´s nose???? In a New York school? Huh?

Sorry 31, but you made me "Roll Tide Roll!"

Apparently this once respected pageant has simply become yet another unmerited, ´major award.´ sigh

(Where is Bert Parks when you NEED him?)

Do they need to show birth certificates to enter the contest? Miss NY/America does not look 23. More like 28 or 30.

#7, how was the food at the reeducation camp you attended?

Rather thick and plain compared to the runner up.

Ahhh yes....scantly-clad, tap-dancing 23 year olds..... is there ANYTHING they don´t know??? (Thank you, Homer Simpson)

After picking a few from the total 53 I had chosen the 3 of the 5 who gave good answers to questions: Wyoming regarding good parents teaching kids truths instead of perscriptions; South Carolina said the sports amnouncer had every right to call Alabama´s girlfiend beautiful & I have forgotten Oklahoma´s answer but it was conservative. I´ll bet if Texas had been given a question in the 5 on guns she would have given a great answer. Bet the judges were split between NY & SC like our country.

Does anyone still watch that beauty pageant??

Yes, #35, they all look about 10 years older than they actually are. I think it all starts with Toddlers/Tiaras.

Another American tradition circles the PC drain.

They destroyed the girl a few years ago who dared to come out against gay marriage. So all these other girls have to realize that and answer the left´s PC question correctly. Ambushing people in these contests is just a low key level of bullying that works.

To quote Chevy Chase, "you ignorant xxxx." She may not be the last word, but she´s certainly ignorant.

Youse guys is mean. Yes she´s an airhead. But if she shows up at my door selling Girl Scout Cookies I´ll buy a few cases.

WDE #31. Auburn is certainly full of beautiful, talented women ;) however this lib sounds like she may be a bad apple. I don´t really understand how a southern woman, born and raised in the very, very southern town of Opelika, Alabama can be Miss New York. She´s lived there for what, 3 years?! If I were Miss Alabama I would be furious! Competition is much tougher down in Dixie, there is simply no question about that.

Amway has a close association with this pageant. I hope that they dump her, the ignorant liberal dope.

Armed guards for banks, politicians and celebrities, but not for our children??? They must have replaced the basic IQ requirement with a PC requirement for Miss America since I last watched. Always been a huge letdown to see very attractive women spout very PC drivel.

Saw photos by accident on my PC. She looks rough. PC rules the day. No honest answer is accepted unless it is shaped to conform with the latest PC meme; gun control. Some girl got skewered a while back for giving her honest opinion on gay marriage and was forever branded. The choice of NY over SC is laden with many political symbolism. Notice the NOW crowd no longer complains about this mindless dribble. NY won, it´s ok now. For now.

Next stop Victoria´s Secret.

Wouldn´t it be nice if their brains matched their bodies?

The culture war isn´t over until they kill every last one of us. They may be winning battles but they haven´t won the war as long as there are people who believe in decency and affect the people they are around. The war is won one individual at a time and we need to persevere. The Left will not win in the end because their way of lawlessness and personal irresponsibility leads to ruin for those who imbibe their koolaid.

I wish there had been a chance for a follow question, such as "So we should disband the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps?"

Ms Hagen is just plain looking to me so I think that Miss South Carolina was robbed. Personally I´ve seen better looking women in uniform at the Navy Exchange. All this twit did was give the standard PC dopey answer to her question. That is the only reason why the twit won. The Miss America pageant has become another once great thing that has becoame a joke. I remember the whole controversy in 09 with Carrie Prejean. I do wish Hagan the best of luck because I belive in the old saying, Beauty fades but stupid is forever.
