Help! Mom! Conservatives are ruining books! - The Mudflats
This is some pretty funny stuff. Are these people for real??

http://www.themudflats.net/2009/11/10/help-mom-conservatives-are-ruining-books/





Wondering what to get that fringe right-wing conservative kid on your Christmas list this year? They’ve got all the realistic plastic guns. They’ve got the Corporate version of Monopoly. But I bet they don’t have THIS!


Help! Mom! Radicals Are Ruining My Country! spoofs on leading Democrats, President and adoring media.

A new children’s book which is expected to be released later this month is sure to ruffle more than a few feathers on the left. Help! Mom! Radicals Are Ruining My Country!, written by author Katharine DeBrecht, takes to task leading members of Congress, the President and a fawning media on wealth redistribution, czars and a skyrocketing national debt.


(Stroking chin) Now who was the first president to have a “Czar?” Oh, that’s right. It was that lefty Richard Nixon. And the first Drug Czar? That bastion of liberal thought Ronald Reagan. And skyrocketing national debt? OK, let’s look at the gross federal debt as a percentage of the GDP for the last 30 years…just for giggles.

Jimmy Carter (D) -3.2%
Ronald Reagan (R) +11.3%
Ronald Reagan (R) +9.2%
George H.W. Bush (R) +13.1%
Bill Clinton (D) -0.6%
Bill Clinton (D) -8.2%
George W. Bush (R) +6.9%
George W. Bush (R) +11.7%

I believe that’s what you call a “pattern.”


The sequel to the bestselling Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed! continues the story of two boys who open up a lemonade stand only to have the stand seized by the government. Determined to succeed, the boys open up a swingset business, but their plan goes awry when a cast of characters resembling the politicians du jour – including a sweaty and sputtering Congressman Fwank and a tiara-donning Speaker Queenosie – force the boys to sell swingsets to kids who cannot afford them.

Follow Tommy and Lou as they struggle to keep their swing set business afloat despite 246 czars, onerous regulations and sky-high taxes in these troubling times. Will Tommy and Lou finally decide to join the other kids on the corner in standing up for freedom or will they continue to fear being vilified by the press and demeaned by Marxus Obundus (“the One”)?


Wow. Just, wow. Hopefully we’ll learn in the next volume how all the swingset manufacture jobs get outsourced to child laborers working for pennies an hour in China, and Tommy and Lou make a bazillion dollars on our bad trade/tarriff policies and don’t have to pay taxes, and leave all the kids on the corner with their signs who haven’t figured out yet that they’re cheering for the end of government and the takeover by corporations.


DeBrecht says she wrote the book for several reasons. “When public schools no longer teach children about the founding of our nation and spend most of the time discussing the plight of polar bears or creating chants to idolize the President something is terribly wrong.” DeBrecht explains. “There should be something out there for parents to teach their children the values of hard work, individual responsibility, and freedom, and the importance of defending these when they are under attack.”


Why just today my kids confirmed that they spent most of their day, not doing math or language arts, but discussing polar bears and chanting O-Ba-Ma! O-Ba-Ma!

<snip>



Quite a bit more. Well worth the read. :rofl:

Katharine DeBrecht is a mother of three. A freelance newspaper reporter who previously worked in Washington, D.C., she is a member of the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women and served as that state's co-captain of "Security Moms for Bush." Ms. DeBrecht graduated cum laude from Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, where she studied political science and history. She currently resides with her husband and children in South Carolina.



Pathetic...just pathetic....to these ignorant assholes, anything that advocates tolerance of any kind is "liberal propaganda".

So it is pretty plain to see that these people would be among the first to be marching with the SS and saluting whatever Fascist was in power. The irony would be when that same government came after THEM...and no one was there to protect them.

I have lost all patience and do not even try to understand this crap anymore. Creating satire for adults is one thing..but writing this stupid propaganda for CHILDREN!!!!! Insanity..pure insanity.
