WE CHOOSE WHAT HISTORY TO TAKE WITH US AND INCORPORATE IT INTO  OUR NEEDS: The Culture Wars continue in Massachusetts!
Attorney General Martha Coakley gave the green light to a group trying to overturn a recent legislative repeal. Lawmakers in the Bay State this year revoked a 1913 law prohibiting couples from marrying in Massachusetts if their own state wouldn't honor said nuptials.
The law was originally intended, some say, at suppressing interracial marriage. Now that those days done and gone, many see the 1913 law as a potential barrier to gay marriage.
With Coakley's official - but not necessarily personal - approval, social conservatives can now start gathering signatures for a potential 2010 ballot measure.
They need to gather 33,000 signatures between now and the end of October.



SAME GROUPS THAT WEREN'T GOING TO WATCH ABC--EVER:  The right wing's still riled about Hallmark's gay marriage greeting cards.
The American Family Association last week launched a boycott against the company and now the gals over at Concerned Women For America are shaking their self-righteous fists.
Said President Wendy Wright:
Hallmark is jeopardizing its brand as a family-friendly company.
Customers used to be able to trust Hallmark to produce quality products that were safe for all ages.
Now parents will need to steer their kids from Hallmark's section of the greeting card aisle and away from its previously heart-warming movies for fear that they too will push homosexual messages.

CWA research guru Janice Crouse echoed Wrights comments, of course, but took a more direct approach, saying that the company should cater to the "public," not "special interest groups."
American businesses have a corporate responsibility to the public that buys their products. Instead of bolstering campaigns by special interest groups like the homosexual activists, corporations like Hallmark should be protecting American culture from those forces that would destroy the family and create a public environment that is detrimental to general well-being, especially children's well-being.
