Left-Wing Whacko Kid's Book of the Week
Yup, just your basic, good old fashioned pot primer for kids. The perfect book to read to little Timmy as you tuck him in with his teddy bear for the night and then head over to your neighbor's garage to smoke some weed and listen to the Grateful Dead.
Can you believe there are liberals like Andrew Sullivan attacking us for publishing a politically themed kid's book?
Evidently teaching kids about hard work and self-reliance is far worse than a book with the magical "tale of how a young girl learns about marijuana" so concerned parents have a "tool...to use in creating conversation that educates, rather than merely frightens, their young children about cannabis use."
And here we thought the image of Ted Kennedy under our bed was scary!

You have issues,real issues, not like the ones you use to scare young children with...
I think politics *period* should be left out of children's books. Part of childhood is learning about the world by yourself, not being subjected to all this idealism from different political parties hoping to recruit new members. However, I do respect all freedom of speech, no matter how stupid or ridiculous it is. Hey, I'm not the mother of your kids; feel free to raise your children however you want, I really don't care.
That brings me to another topic I want to discuss. In a recent interview, Katharine DeBrecht stated that books like "King and King" were being "taught" in public schools. It may be in the children's section of the public library, but is it and other "liberal-themed" books "taught" during classtime? I'd like it if someone gave me an example of this.
Wow, I guess hate is a family value for you folks. I is really sad to see that you don't want to live in a democracy anymore. Fostering community and helping people is important to our society. Liberal and conservative values are integral to our way of life. You folks just spout lies. Taxes have nothing to do with raising kids. Besides, you are getting what you want. All your radical right-wing activist judges and politician are cutting taxes anyway. Soon, you will not have police to protect you from those "bad black people..."
Hi, ladyliberty,
My, my, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed. What's the matter -- stay up too late last night re-counting butterfly ballots with your fellow Palm Beach patriots last night? ;)
Not that it's any of your business, but since you imply otherwise, my wife and I have indeed donated to both the Salvation Army and the Red Cross to help hurricane victims.
And I would encourage anyone who has not already done so to take a minute and make a contribution to the charity of your choice. Over the past 23 years we have been blessed with an amazing economy the likes of which the world has never seen before. Even today, in the face of war, national tragedies, and an oil supply shock, our economy is growing around 3.5% and unemployment is down to about 5%. (Compare that to over-taxed and regulated Germany, with just 1% growth and 11% unemployment.) Let's put the rich bounty of the free market to work by helping our countrymen in the Gulf region get back on their feet.
I'm sure that's something on which my liberal friends and I can agree.
Hi, ladyliberty,
I think I can see why you need that Pepto! While it's been sad to watch the slow motion train wreck that is Al Gore, I had no idea that all of his supporters were along for the ride.
Posts like yours are the reason that the term "Angry Left" has caught on the past couple of years. Rants with a heavy dose of conspiracy theory thrown in for good measure aren't going to win over the hearts and minds of the American people.
But I must agree with you on your final, umm, "point" that children should not be turned into political pawns. Families -- not politicized entities like public schools -- should be allowed to decide how to raise children and what values to teach them. Surely you would join me in chastising Estabrook School in Lexington, Mass, for their kindergarten curriculum?
Forcing politics on children before they're old enough to understand what the whole thing really means is wrong. Katharine Debrecht complains about the liberalism in children's books prior to hers, but I rarely see anything in the children's section of Barnes & Noble that endorses or condemns political parties or ideas (quite frankly, my daughters prefer Dr. Seuss to anything else, and I don't mean "The Lorax", which they haven't read yet).
I read ladyliberty's rant, and I really would like to know where the profits of the "Help! Mom!" books are going. Knowing how all of you are staunch capitalists, its probably all going in Ms. DeBecht's piggy bank (none for the shoeless kids?!).
If you can give me a good reason for teaching children politics at 6 years of age (Mr. Jackson, I'm talking to you) then my mind will be changed. Until then, I stand by my complaint.
Hi, carla,
Politics ARE being hoisted on kids -- liberal politics. (See my previous post for one glaring example.) Would you prefer that parents who believe in traditional values just roll over and allow left-wingers to keep pursuing their quest to indoctrinate children in our schools, through our libraries, and over our airwaves?
This is not about protecting kids from politics -- liberals threw that option out the window a long time again. The shrill posts we're seeing on this site come from liberals upset over the diversity of opinion that this book helps bring to the marketplace.
Well, Carla,
Looks like the conservative coward ducked your question. As for where the profits are going, maybe Tom Delay has them. Now there's someone the author of this book surely must endorse. And ladyliberty, you rock! All this mouthpiece has done is spew the word LIBERAL. Tells you plenty what the motivation for this book is. Brainwashed idiots.
You are sad and sick people. And your ideas are disgusting. Shame on you.
And just to clarify my earlier comments---the sad, sick and pathetic people are the ones who created and operate this site. Your ideas are truly perverse and repulsive.
