Because Bill O'Reilly scares the kids
Recently, someone (Katharine DeBrecht) decided it was a good idea to make a book for children called Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed. ... I really wish I was kidding.

The book summary basically explains it in all its glory: 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.

So, a few people over on the Amazon.com listing for the book are less than thrilled:

Actually, the first volume in this series was titled, "Help, Mom! I Have to Work in the Coal Mine 16 Hours a Day!", written in 1894. Unfortunately, since the evil liberals initiated child labor laws, demand has fallen, and the book is no longer in print.

--

I would rather my child see Janet Jackson's breasts than read this crap.

--

Not suprisingly, given that this book was done by a GOP front, if you look at this book, you'll see that it was printed in China. Perhaps the author is planning a sequel where Tommy and Lou lose their jobs at the lemonade stand while George Bush is president because the company has shipped lemonade production to China as well.

Anyone who tries to indoctrinate their kids with something like this should consider therapy.


Of course, the book has its supporters, and are not ones to take this lying down, and even Jesus himself steps in to remind us in his ever mature fashion:

WAH WAH WAH!!! The poor liberals can't take the truth. This is a great book for kids and the whole family. Teach them right!

And we can't forget that villainous yellow sponge (and Hitler, of course):

On the other side of their two-faces, liberals are using Spongebob to push homosexuality onto our children, and teaching them a very hateful view of American history and the American government. It's about time someone stood up and made a book that teaches children the other side of the equasion. So in response the liberal hypocrites see anything that teaches their supreme absolute social doctrines as evil; I'm sure Hitler saw the counter-teaching of stuff against his will as evil too.

I think I need a drink.

No, seriously, I just lost an entire gulp of tea. Dude, so much with the WTF?!

I hereby drop all claims of being an American. I'm just gonna learn German or something and move far far away from this country, because it makes my head hurt.

The review from "Jesus" was enlightening though. Who knew the ::in her best Eddie Izzard voice:: 'Son of God!' was such a whiner? XD

Because, of course, no country that has 50% income tax (read:Denmark) could ever do marginally well or have great social services, could it?

Goddamn. Let your children grow up, and let them choose what they want to believe.

Wasn't Jesus a liberal?

Haha, that reminds me. I went to the recycling center the other day, and as I climbed the stepladder to dump my stuff into the "Magazines and Glossy Paper" recepticle, I saw a ton of copies of "The O'Reilly Factor" in there. *cracks up*

If I didn't have class tomorrow morning, I'd join you all in getting good and drunk. Jesus.

Horrifying. How about they have a kids book to that thing where the police busted the legally sanctioned rave? Sure, it sounds little, but watch the video. They're screaming and beating the people who flee. It's rather horrifying to look at.

If all our country has to fear from liberals is eating brocoli, paying taxes, and taking down pictures of Jesus (who was a liberal), then I'd rather that. Honestly.

The person with the Hitler bit made me laugh. Because she thinks child indoctrination is evil. And we think child indoctrination is evil. And Hitler would have thought that child indoctrination done against his beliefs was evil. Wait, so which of us is Hitler again?

Gone are the days children can't simply have a small business such as a lemonade stand without some city ordinance liberal city officals have to busy body themselves with. It's a good way for parents to explain to their children why they can't do certain things or the lack of common sense being played out that seems so instinctual in every child at the beginning...

Okay, she is kidding, right? I could see how this book could be a satire for adults, and I could see how it could be a story with a (nutty) moral for kids. But is this woman actually saying that liberals go around forcing kids with lemonade stands to pay taxes, sell broccoli, and take down their pictures of Jesus (wtf)?

So, who's going to write, "Help! Mom! There Are Conservatives Under My Bed!"? It would be the story of ten year-old neighbors Mohammad and Tai-San who decide to spend their summer vacation running a lawn mowing service for their neighborhood, to save up money for college. (Mohammad's mother has been working two jobs since his father was killed in Iraq, and Tai-San's father has been unemployed since his job got outsourced to Bangalore, so they know it's up to them to earn their own money!) But what seems like a good idea turns out to be a huge disaster - Mr. Wilson thinks it would be un-American to let Mohammed mow his lawn when he could let Brian Van Doofen do the job (for twice the price, of course), and Mrs. Deering tries to talk Tai-San out of the business by reminding her that she'll never need a college education to be a good wife and mother. Will Mohammad and Tai-San be able to make any money, or will they be forced to join their parents on the unemployment line?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :)
