10. Clintmax and I had a fun time with that
Good Lord...can you imagine what would happen if a liberal put out a book called "Help there is a conservative under my bed?" There would be Hate-Radio sponsored lynch mobs formed.

Why does a child need to be indoctrinated anyway? When I was a child I was a conservative. You know why? The people I was around most 1) were RW nuts or 2) worshipped Pat Robertson. I just parrotted what was said around me. I had no idea what I was say or advocating. I just knew Ronald Reagan was good and Mondale was going to blow the world up, and that Jesse Jackson just wanted to paint the White House loud colors because that is what black people do.

8. Alrighty, then.....
...This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism....??????

Great, let's make sure that the next Generation learns early on that independant thought is something to be abhorred. Make sure that the li'l lambs grow up to be good sheep and follow their leader, never uttering as much as a bleat in protest.

Brilliant!

19. Too many big words in "Mein Kampf". This crowd only reads...
...at about a 5th-grade level.

The ones who read at all, that is.

7. Editorial Reviews:
Book Description

This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

13. MELANIE MORGAN is stumping for it, so it's gotta be good.
You know, she's... like, the worlds BEST parent:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/10/22/48hours/main67666.shtml

Soon after Morgan got pregnant again. She spent nearly her entire pregnancy in card rooms. Says Morgan: "I was in a terrible environment, a smoke-filled room, hardly taking care of myself. I was gambling right up until an hour before I gave birth."


(Wait a minute.. isn't that fetal abuse? What happens when the HLA defines life as having rights under the 14th amendment starting at conception? Hmmmmm. Sounds like she's admitting to a very potentially serious crime, there. -i)


After their baby son, CJ, was born, Morgan, who is now 42, swore that she would quit.

"I think Morgan really believed that the arrival of our child was going to change everything," her husband Jack says.

It didn't. Two weeks after giving birth, she started gambling again. She brought CJ with her to the clubs. "He would sleep, and I would play," she recalls.

"Then, when he would wake up and cry That was the worst part because people around you don't particularly appreciate a crying child," she says.

The cocktail waitresses and the other gamblers helped take care of him.


Her husband insisted that she stop bringing CJ to card games. So Morgan ordered her stepson Greg to babysit. Greg says that this was almost a daily occurrence.

By this time, Morgan was hiding from her husband. He put the baby in a car seat and drove around until he spotted his wife's car.

One night, her husband confronted Morgan with her son. "I put the baby in the car seat in the center of the round poker table on the green felt with the chips and the cards and everything surrounding my son," he says.

"And I looked at Morgan, and the other players were a little astonished. They're not used to seeing babies on the green felt," he says.

Sometimes he would bring the baby inside the card room and announce loudly, "Time to come home. Time to come home and be a mom and be my wife." It was, he says, "out of control."

One day, when Greg was looking after CJ, the baby wouldn't stop crying. He called her and asked her to come home.

She refused. Greg ended up slapping CJ hard in the face, leaving a large bruise.

A family doctor reported the bruise to child protective services, which ordered the couple to obtain family therapy. Morgan was told to quit gambling, or risk losing her baby.

14. The Conservative Version
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 06:35 PM by cory817
Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when they learn the water in their lemonade is filled with toxic crap and conservatives demand they hang up pictures of Jesus even though they are Jewish, and their lemonade stand is soon bought out by Walmart and the two boys are both shipped off to die in Iraq, the young brothers experience the downside to living in George Bush's USA.

17. quote from the beginning of the book:
"Tommy and Lou were small-minded brothers, with small-minded parents, who lived in a small house, on a small street, in a small neighborhood, in a small city, and whose dad drove a GREAT BIG SUV to compensate for his small penis..."

18. I dunno
I mean, I'm sure its a real book, but it just seems too blatantly political for anyone to seriously buy it as a children's book. It looks more like a gag-gift type thing; something you pick for a conservative friend because it looks funny, rather than something you buy to actually read to your children.
