You Know, For Kids

I present to you: Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!

From the liner notes:

Would you let your child read blatantly liberal stories with titles such as “King & King,” “No, George, No,” or “It’s Just a Plant”?

Unless you live in Haight-Ashbury or write for the New York Times, probably not. But with the nation’s libraries and classrooms filled with overtly liberal children’s books advocating everything from gay marriage to marijuana use, kids everywhere are being deluged with left-wing propaganda.

“Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed” is the book conservative parents have been seeking. This illustrated book — the first in the “Help! Mom!” series from Kids Ahead — is perfect for parents who seek to share their traditional values with their children, as well as adults who wish to give a humorous gift to a friend.

Hailed as “the answer to a baseball mom’s prayers” by talk radio host Melanie Morgan, “Liberals Under My Bed” has already been the subject of coverage in The Wall Street Journal and Harper’s magazine. Written by a self-proclaimed “Security Mom for Bush” and featuring hilarious full-color illustrations by a Reuben Award winning artist, it is certain to be one of the most talked about children’s books of the year.

Of course, if that’s not enough to cause you to lose your lunch, you can go and read more about the book over at LiberalsUnderMyBed.com.

BTW, this little column from Ms. DeBrecht is funny:

After being spanked in the last election and seeing President Bush being sworn in for a second term, the Left has thrown itself into a major temper tantrum. Like spoiled children who have gotten their way for years, the liberals are finally getting their time-out. And they DO NOT like it.

Yeah. We got our way for years. By the way, tell me again which political party decided to shut down the government because they didn’t get their way (c.f. Newt Gingrich) or hold impeachment hearings over canoodlings?

Anyways, the idiots in charge are these guys, who have as their mission statement:

Headquartered just south of Los Angeles, World Ahead Publishing is the West Coast’s premier publisher of conservative and libertarian books. Our mission is to publish high-quality books for general audiences that make the case that capitalism and democratic republicanism (sic) are critical for preserving liberty and combating the spread of evil.

Here’s a lesson: before you decide to start a publishing company, you should learn how to use words. Also, next time you design a book cover, you might try typesetting it using something other than the vastly-evil Comic Sans, is quite hideous for a children’s book. Then again, “beauty” and “truth” are probably not priorities if you are going to write a polemic for the playground set.
