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.
It's soooo true! A little known fact about the gays: we're all programed to turn evil on December 14, 2008, at which point we'll grow wings, begin breathing fire and consume the entire planet's population, starting with the children. Shhhh! Don't tell, gays, even if you're asked!

I have a problem with Hallmark advancing the aging agenda. Growing older has proven to be a deadly lifestyle which leads to disease and death. While the aging lifestyle destroys families, Hallmark continues to force this agenda down our throats by promoting so-called "birthday" cards.
Here are a few suggestions for Concerned Women For America:
1: If greeting cards geared toward Gay couples, commitment ceremonies, and weddings offend you, DON'T BUY ONE. No one is forcing you to.
2: I doubt if you'll be getting any invitations to the weddings of your Gay friends (assuming you HAVE Gay friends, which I doubt). But if you do, and such a wedding bothers you, IGNORE THE INVITATION.
3: If your church finds Gay weddings to be offensive and sinful, don't conduct them. I promise you, Gay couples will not be demanding that you marry them, any more than Muslim couples will be demanding to be married in Catholic cathedrals.
4: Please remember that, whether you like it or not, Gay weddings and commitment ceremonies are occurring and will be occurring more often. And when any couple, Gay or Straight, makes a solemn commitment before family and friends to one another's love, support, and well-being, it is certainly worth celebrating. And that's exactly what greeting cards are for!
Hehehe, they sound like crazy people. Gay marriage somehow destroys families? Seeing a card with two men in suits is harmful to children? Don't they realize how insane they sound?
LoL @ Nickadoo's comment.

I love how the right takes names like this.. Concerned Women for America, as if they can be the only ones concerned. The right are experts at using the language to their advantage. "Defense of Marriage", wouldn't that me a ban on divorce? If they supported marriage should the defense of marriage act take a hard stance on divorce lawyers?
It makes it sound like if you don't support the "Defense of Marriage" you support the "breakdown of marriage" and are a terrorist. Just like if you don't support the "Concerned Women for America", you are not concerned for America, and are a gay terrorist liberal elitist.
i wish wendy would go away…i've heard enough from her stupid self to last a lifetime, as if it as really that hard to tell the poor children [that is if they even bother to ask, because i doubt they care] that some men like men and some women like women.
Stupidity isn't a virus but it sure is spreading like one….
Somehow I think the littel tykes will survive seeing a cartoon of two men holding hands. Obviously, Wendy hasn't passed by a newsstand lately.
"I love how the right takes names like this.. Concerned Women for America, as if they can be the only ones concerned. The right are experts at using the language to their advantage."
Yeah, not like the left, with its National Organization for Women, as if *all* women agree with its agenda. Not to mention: People for the American Way (are non-members against the American Way?), Human Rights Campaign (are those who disagree with its causes opposed to human rights?), Friends of the Earth (are its opponents enemies of the earth?), etc., etc.
(But, yes, the Concerned Women for America are idiots.)
Now! I'm concerned about those homophobic bitches.
All valid points everyone, but what you really should be doing is contacting hallmark and congratulating them on being brave enough to launch this line of cards – the right wing nutjobs seldom read your comments here, but they do contact these companies directly. Say something where it truly will have an impact – call or email hallmark today. Tell them how proud you will be to purchase these cards and help them avoid caving in to the crazies like so many other companies have done. They hear dollar-signs above almost anything else.
At least some of these 'Concerned Women' must have children who think they're absolute nutters :p
Excellent idea, Kevin! Contact Hallmark via this link: http://hallmark.custhelp.com/c.....Muc2VhcmNo and thank them for their new line of cards.
It'd be nice to send hallmark a thank you card, and those horrid women get well soon cards!
I'll just call my local CVS and make sure they put all the homo cards on the top shelf. This way, your soon to be biggot children, wont be able to see them.
But i cant wait till Dec 14th when we take over the world. One hallmark at a time!
Kevin, if you want to show appreciation, buy the cards!
Um, isn't the positive promotion of marriage the support of families? The CWA logic is twisted. Even if you don't agree with gay marriage how does a card harm children? They didn't boycott all the cards with bikini clad women and buff half-naked guys.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
OH PLEASE, WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!
heh
Never underestimate the hate coming out of women whose husbands ignore them and cheat on them. Of course, that hate is mostly directed to people who are actually happy and in love…
Strange how I'm suddenly thinking of Cindy McCain
Since when are *wedding* cards for children anyway (outside of that bunch in Texas in the news a few months ago, of course)?
Meanwhile, as far as I know, the old cartoon where Tom eventually accepts a male bird's advances and even lays a nest full of eggs goes unchallenged…
I am wondering how many of these crazed women are also members of the feminist movement…advocating rights for themselves, but not for others?
That question is not meant to denigrate the feminist movement in any manner but, rather, to find out if they are speaking with forked tongues?
You can't advocate rights for one group of people while denying the rights of other groups. That's just downright hypocritical.
hallmark cards are lame and not at the top of my list when I am looking for one. But these Concerned women for America, this is the issue that they are concerned about.
Talk about lame, where do these women hold their meetings. I would love to join in and see what other pressing issues that concern them. Two ply toilet tissue is akin to devil worship, light days are too light, better get those envelopes licked.
What child is behaving like a kid in a candy store at Hallmark? Christ! I could't think of a more boring place for a child to be. They're not reading any of that crap. If anything, they'll gravitate to those cartoon character cards they know and love – the ones from Japan with the unusually wide eyes. Or they'll break some commemorative holiday ornament of the Starship Enterprise or something. Then mom will get all pissed and smack the child (some concern, right?) and the cashier, flanked by the christian paraphernalia, will nod her righteous approval. Mother, now with a migraine, will bitch and moan that – somehow – this all traces back to those gays… Meanwhile, why isn't John back from the gym yet?
You forgot to mention the little yellow pill she pops to help her calm down about those horrible horrible gays. Then of course go on for three hours about how "drugs are bad" :P
doesn't concered women of america have phyliss schaffly's gay son as an employee?
A Token Gay? They probably wanted him to decorate on his first day.
