Left-Wing Whacko Kid's Book of the Week (part 2)



Liberals have been relentless in attacking Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed for exposing children to (shudder) politics. Alan Colmes called it "brainwashing," Ron Reagan said he wants to make a book that shows how "conservatives hate black people," and Andrew Sullivan says it reminds him of Mao Tse-Tung.

C'mon, guys. Your side of the aisle has been doing this for years. You've been peddling socialist fish and gay kings in our classrooms for years.

And then there's this little gem -- the story of how a "Truth Fairy" meets a little boy named George "to teach him lessons about How to not manipulate the Media, How to treat Veterans, How to be honest, How to be respectful with families who have lost soldiers in war, How to go to War only when necessary, How not to label people as Boogeymen, How not to invade countries, How to control greed, How to hold fair elections, and How to behave as a leader."

Political books meant for children rarely carry on into the main stream or gain such a huge popularity. In 10 years from now, everyone will lose intrest in books like "No Geroge No!" and "Liberals Under my Bed!" and they will be dropped into the pit of novelty items. I have read most of these books and from what I've seen most of them are poorly written and barely deliver a message all that well. Kids are not given a chance to relate to the characters because they are being preached to with no end in sight. The best books for kids are ones that express humor with simple plots that youngsters can identify with (mind me for saying this, but I've never seen liberals tax seven-year olds, nor do I know any eight-year old Bush-bashers). There are many ways of delivering a message to children in the form of a good story without being overly-preachy or obvious. Maybe you should give that a try, Katharine Debrecht!

I'm still waiting for Kathy's next best seller "Hey mom That's not Daddies cock up your ass!" It should be a dandy!
