Kids love politics…. almost as much as they love brocolli

liberalsbed.JPG
Since it’s never to early to teach your children about hating gays, starting wars, pissing away the environment, the Rapture, or scratching the back of corporate interests, self-proclaimed “security mom for Bush” Katharine DeBrecht is pleased to announce the August arrival of her book Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!
From the publisher’s bio

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.

Inside, you’ll find find laugh-out-loud dialogue written in “simple” language that any child or neo-con can understand:

“‘It takes a village to get kids to eat their vegetables!’ Ms. Clunkton pointed her stubby finger at the boys, ‘Sooo, for every glass of lemonade you sell, you must, I say, you MUST, give two pieces of broccoli with it.’”

That’s a knee-slapper. Thanks Katharine! Tell us the one about the 23,000 civilian deaths in Iraq next! Kids just just love reading about tax cuts, ownership society, and neo-conservatives. More than candy and lemonade.

    Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more fucking stupid. Well…the inevitable “reply” will come out and things will get even dumber.
    I really feel sorry for these people. The one’s that have been sucked into this fight, I mean. The ones who really think these pigs in Washington (on both sides of the aisle) have their interests at heart.
    Get ‘em while they’re young!
    This is very very sad…

  2. Graham says:

    of course, the highest federal tax bracket pays a marginal rate of 35%, not 50%. On the other hand, to pay that much Tommy and Lou would need to be making over $319,000, which is a heck of a pay-load of lemonade. At that point they could afford way more than a swing set. They could at least also get a slide.

  3. Julio says:

    The whole idea is just fucking stupid. But that’s politics for you. It amazes me how people in this country actually take our “leaders” seriously. Actually…they are a perfect representation of the public at large so I don’t know why I am surprised by this. (Make that representation of the VOTING public.)
    I can’t wait to see the response to this book. I can only imagine how they’ll write it.
    Again…very sad….

    First, get over it, why do any of you care what jokes the conservatives make,
    second, of course they have to pay a lot in taxes, because they are under 16 yrs of age and anything they make is attributed to the parents income, dumby.
    educate yourself before you reply

    i think i’m going to puke.

    i actually thought this was a joke, a satire on your politics…but it’s not it’s real, a teaching aid for those too deaf to hear.
    I wish the American’s would find their utopian planet in outer space so all those ‘privileged’ assholes will leave on their space craft, and with any luck banish earth as a wasteland, never to return, so all of us left behind can laugh our asses off!

  7. Julio says:

    Rhonda: Excuse those of us here who are not as hip, smart, worldly and insightful as you are. Maybe we are all “dumbys”. Nevertheless, the book is fucking stupid.

    Of course conservitives have counter ridicule, that’s how humans roll.
