Saw this book floating about...

Anyone care to write 'Why Daddy is a Republican'

or 'Why Grandpa Says to Hell With All Them Buggerts'?

One of the absolute greatest things about childhood is a near complete ignorance of politics. Why take that away?

True enough.  But you know what the left is good at - gettin' 'em while they're young.

I leafed through a copy at a bookstore the other day.  It reafirmed my belief that many Democrats don't have the firmset of grips on reality.

I thought the right was supposed to be better than them, not exactly the same.

What I am saying is that political zelots are the same no matter what they happen to believe. The ends always justify the means, and we would all be better off without them.

Well, thank you very much! I've spent the past 5+ years fighting to get a shall-issue CCW bill signed into law here in WI.

Truthfully, it really doesn't affect me personally. The odds of me getting patted down these days are pretty slim.

Also, I have the business cards of a few police chiefs and sheriffs. Each one has told me that, if one of their officers or deputies finds my gun, I should just have the officer or deputy call the number on the card, and I'll walk away free.

It's not right until everyone has that right (or, in my case, privelege).

I'll wear the "zealot" tag with pride.

Yes, I agree to some extent.

Everybody believes he is right and the other ones are criminally wrong.

However, I suspect sometimes the political zealots might be right. In some issues, there IS a right and wrong and black and white.

Slavery was evil. There was no ifs and buts about it, chattel slavery was evil. The world would not be better off without the abolitionists.

The world would not be better off without Samuel Adams either.

Wow.  That is some blatant propaganda.  I'd like to see the reaction to Daddy's a Republican.  

Daddy's a Libertarian should be good.

I will make the first page of Daddy is a Republican.

"Daddy is a Republican because someone has to protect you from Democrat Mommy's blatant head-in-the-sand idiocy."

Maybe a little too blunt?

Wow, I didn't notice (at first) the little vignettes behind the main pictures on the sample pages.

Quote from: charby
Where is the father?
Don't you know that fathers are superfluous and even dangerous?  Fathers hurt Mommy and use her for sex.  They objectify Mommy and subject Mommy to patriarchal domination.  Fathers are always at work or at play, and when they are home they watch TV and drink beer.  They are drudges and brutes, unless they will do as Mommy says.  Well, we don't need his money or his demands for humiliating sex acts!  Mommy is her own woman, and she can do it by herself!

Well, we could take the book, scratch out "Democrat" and replace it with party of choice. Wink

Daddy, why is mommy a tree rat?
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I love the sample pages...
Quote from: Why Mommy is a Democrat
Democrats make sure we share all our toys, just like Mommy does.
It would be a great lesson if Mommy took away the action figure little Timmy sold lemonade to earn, and gave it to little Bobby down the street. Instant conservative/libertarian! I doubt little ones are yet capable of the doublethink needed to be comfortable with such behavior in practice. Cheesy

Sadly the Libertarian ideology requires thinking members and is not easily broken down into propaganda squirrel format.

Even more ham-handed is "Liberals Under the Bed".

If I ever have kids then I'll just buy them a bunch of Heinlein novels.
