Conservatives Complain Beauty Pageants Have Liberal Bias, Create “Miss Conservative” Event

Miss Conservative U.S. Contestants

Did you know that beauty pageants have a left-wing agenda?

That’s the claim of beauty pageant coach Ginny Meerman, who has created her own “Miss Conservative” beauty pageant in response to traditional pageants “being overtaken by the liberal movement and liberal-thinking people.”

On her personal website, Meerman complains of “being blackballed for my outspoken and unapologetic conservative ideals.” She also brags about being “a descendant” of confederate General Robert E. Lee. Meerman uses the term “OhBlahBlah” to refer to President Obama, and says he is a “toad” that “must go.”

The website for Miss Conservative U.S. features the song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” by country singer Toby Keith and promotes itself as “Where the beautiful, accomplished and amazing American Conservative women are showcased on the pageant stage.”

A “press conference style” on stage interview, patriotic outfit, evening wear and photos are listed as the four major elements of the pageant. Bonus “conservapoints” can also be earned by contestants. One way to earn “conservapoints” is through a written essay explaining “Why I Am A Conservative.”

A promotional video for the Miss Conservative U.S. features a soundtrack with James Brown’s “Living in America.”

The first Miss Conservative U.S. was held in Dallas on July 7th, and featured the theme song “I Am America” by conservative singer Krista Branch. The same song was infamously featured in campaign ads for failed presidential candidate Herman Cain.

The show was co-hosted by Ann-Marie Murrell and Kevin Jackson.

Murrell is one of the co-hosts of “Politichicks” (along with former Saturday Night Live performer Victoria Jackson), which describes itself as a right-wing version of The View. Murrell’s online bio says she is “a former democrat who saw the light on 9/11.”

Jackson writes the conservative blog “The Black Sphere” and describes himself as “sworn to set the record straight on the destruction by Democrats to the black community.”
