I hope this hasn't been posted before, its funny if a little disturbing for who its aimed at.

Something about raising your kids to have the same political beliefs as you seems wrong......

It's a little bizarre, but I bet there's a Republican equivalent out there somewhere. You do get strange stuff from the political parties, sometimes. What amazes me is that the people who write this sort of thing can keep a straight face while doing it.

what a pathetic book

so now we need a book to gently explain to our children why we have this alternate lifestyle of being a democrat? sorta like why heather has two mommies?

im wondering if it wasnt written in opposition to that "there is a scary liberal under my bed" book. (dont remember the name of it)

That sort of stuff makes me want to vomit. I'd be embarrassed to put my name on it (regardless of the side of politics).

"why is mommy a squirel" would have been a better title and probably a more interesting book.

this is just stupid indoctrination.

Some Republican sympathizers probably wrote that book just to further tarnish the Democrats because Democrats are not as sly as Republicans, regardless how hard they try.

Yeah, it's called the South.

Yeah, it's called the South.

BA-ZING!

If somebody had tried to read my that book when I was a kid, I'd have raised hell. Even Biff and Chip had more interest, and that's saying something.

:rolleyes: Yeah, sure, you betchya. This book must be further proof of the vast right-wing conspiracy. We should all wear foil hats to protect us from the right-wing mind control beams.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

But what if you didn't do anything to earn that toy? Why should I have to share toys I worked so hard to get with those who did not?

The Little Red Hen or The Ant and the Grasshopper make better childrens books and teaches better lessons.

"why is mommy a squirel"

because she has the right to be who she wants to be regardless of what people might think *bursts into tears* (someone should actually do a book like that just to see the furry reaction)

:eek: communist subversion!

This is just brainwashing garbage. Its only useful purpose is to make my giggle like a 11 year old girl. It shares a purpose with this:

Personally, I find "rich" and "old" funniest....though Religious is quite good too. Fuck it, they're all sooo funny.

LOL:D

"Class warfare is treason":cool: I cant stop saying that. Anyway, I'd love to see a Democrat one of these. I can already think up a couple.

Black - "The Man be holdin' me down"

Pathetic - "I can't compete so I need to bring everyone else down to my level."

Pussy - "Terrorists just need more hugs"

Sheep - "Anybody but Bush!"

I could go on forever.:D :D :D

tough guy because its so true

Same here. Although I also like "Sheep".

Something about raising your kids to have the same political beliefs as you seems wrong......

What's wrong with it? My politics reflect my personal values, those things and beliefs that are important to me. Why shouldn't I try to pass that on to my daughter?

LOL:D

"Class warfare is treason":cool: I cant stop saying that.
I guess you'd better go after all those upper class people who have been beating the shit out of everyone else economically for the last few millennia then. :rolleyes:

Why would I do that? I happen to LIKE the upper class. I'm not a marxist.

the old one is the funniest imo. but i doubt it if the democrats are that much better.

meh.
A wise choice.

Is it a part of a series? Will there be "Why mum is a nazi" or "Why Mum is fiercely loyal to comrade Mao" ?

Why would I do that? I happen to LIKE the upper class. I'm not a marxist.

Because you said "Class warfare is treason," and the only ones fighting a class war are the upper classes on the lower classes. Ergo, they're the traitors.

Expliotation is not war, and plus, you cant be "at war" if the "defender" voluntarily works for you....not to mention, attackers usually dont pay the people they are warring with.

In a productive soceity, there will be those who lead, and those who will be lead. And this divide isnt drawn on racial, ethnic, religious lines, but rather on if an individual is a leader, or a follower. The leaders take the greater risk leading the people, so it is only fair they reap more of the benefits.

If I start my own company, I dont have the nice comfy paycheck waiting for me at the end of the week/month from my boss, because I dont have a boss nor a paycheck, which means if I live or die depends on my ability to generate wealth. That alone deserves more money than some computer techy who just sits there all day doing the paperwork he gets from his boss, or whatever else you want to call the lower class.

I'm gonna laugh even harder when one of those upper class people you claim isn't warring on the lower classes stomps on you and grinds you into metaphorical mush.

*Nothing To Add*
Meanwhile I've cornered you into a wall and you have no way to defend against that...so you grab onto "what ifs" and just throw em' at me. Intersting tactic.
So yes, Class Warfare Is Treason.

In theory, you're right here. However, the real world often doesn't work like that. I know lots of people who are rather high up in business, making a very substantial (sometimes bordering on obscene) amount of money, who don't really work that hard. Nor are they that intelligent. And at the same time, I know a number of high school teachers who work much, much harder (and probably have to do more problem-solving and innovation) than a lot of the upper class, and yet they make very little money. The real world isn't an ideal capitalist system. Some people are unfairly rewarded for a small amount of work, and some people just get shit on by the system for no real reason other than that they started out poorer.

Intersting tactic.Look kid--you've never been tops on the argumentation front in the past, and there's no reason to believe that you've changed any, so I just decided to forgo the normal crap. But here you go--exploitation is a form of war, and to say that the exploited always have options is just immature stupidity. You don't have options if the choices are work for slave wages or starve to death, and lots of people are in that situation. You're the kind of person who will obviously have to learn from experience, and there's no guarantee that you'll even learn from that, so you may find yourself cursing God and man both and wondering why your objectivist views didn't work out so well for you.

Actually...underpaying of teachers is one of my biggest problems with how your system is. I am usually very right wing on issues...but I cant stand to see teachers just struggling to get by, while they are the ones on the frontline teaching the youth of the day and basically molding the minds of the future of the country.

Anyway, Capitalism isnt 100% perfect, only about 98%.:)

Again...throwing out "what ifs" and "if you/when you're"....

You're using the same Communist crap we've seen time and time again. Without a class-ladder for which people can climb to the top, sometimes by stepping on other's fingers...everyone would be at the bottom. Is this what you want?

The example stands for a whole lot of professions besides just teachers. And a 12% poverty rate would indicate that capitalism is, at best 88% perfect. I realize that that rate includes some people who are just refusing to work, but I think the number is still legit for these purposes given that there are probably a number of people who are a bit above the poverty line but still have real trouble making ends meet. Also, the fact that about 15% of Americans lack healthcare would indicate that 98% is waaay too high of a number for capitalism's "perfection."

Communist? Me? Not even close. There are real communists around here who would call me conservative. No, child, I'm in favor of a well-regulated capitalist system with a social safety net for the poorest. I'm for things like universal health coverage, unemployment benefits, the right to organize and strike, and strong regulation of corporations (along with a removal of their legal personhood). If you stretch it, you might call me a socialist, but a commie? Never.

But here's the thing you fail to realize--the countries that have systems like the one I described have far greater class mobility than the one you seem to want, with unregulated capitalism. So you've got the roles reversed--I want everyone to have a real shot at moving up, a true meritocracy with the assurance that the people at the bottom are protected. You're the one who wants everyone at the bottom and a privileged few at the top. You may not realize it, but the closer we get to pure capitalism, that's what we end up with.

Something about raising your kids to have the same political beliefs as you seems wrong......

on what grounds? i mean, obviously it's wrong to raise your kids to be republicans or fascists or fundamentalist lunatics. but that is because those sorts of beliefs are wrong, not because they are beliefs.

Or, in other words...a democrat.

Or, in other words...a democrat.

A liberal democrat in the US--a member of what passes for the far left. I cheered loudly for Bernie Sanders' election to the Senate and voted for Bill Nelson only because the alternative was Katherine Harris who could be running for Syphilitic Psycho of the Year and I wouldn't vote for her.

Oh, I remember. If there's such a thing as karma, he's in for a brutal adulthood.

This book should've been named "Why Mommy is a Commie!" and it would rhyme too, kinda.

I'd write a book called "Why Daddy is an Anarcho-Capitalist", but I'm not sure how to spin tax evasion and secession so as to fit the intended audience.

You could probably put in something about a Lemonade Stand.

Wow, and up til this point I thought that only Republicans were creepy enough for things like this. :eek:

The Nazz isn't a communist. Calling people who disagree with you "communists" was a favourite tactic of Generalissimo Franco, and his... contemporaries.

Because they are Republican tools of evil. People should run free without the bondage pants produce!

Gotta get me some bondage pants...

I suspect this book is largely a response to "There Are Liberals Under My Bed," or whatever that piece of nonsense was called. This one seems minimally less stupid - at least it seems to be explaining why Mommy's political beliefs are good, rather than why other people's political beliefs are bad.

but, "other people's beliefs are bad" is the fundamental tenant of republican conservativism. What would they do if they ever actually had to start defending their positions rather than attacking others?

Yea, but I don't want to share my toys dammit!

Oh and the book that all of y'all are thinking is "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!"

http://www.amazon.com/Help-Mom-There-Liberals-Under/dp/0976726904

Here's an opening paragraph:

"Our family is moving to Lake Godforesaken, Idaho, because Daddy says he's tired of paying illegal taxes to the government and that Anarcho-Capitalism is the only system he can live under. Sister and I don't really understand what that means, but we're sad to leave our school and playground and all our friends. Mommy has been crying a lot, too, though she tries not to let us see it."

Daddy says we can't go to school because it's funded by theft. I don't know what that means, but he told me that he will teach me without letting those property stealing bastards get their hooks into me. I don't want to be taught by daddy, he's always yelling and at night when he gets back from the bar he smells like angry.

I'd write a book called "Why Daddy is a Libertarian" :D

Oh... I bet you're what? 16-ish? Suburban family(Possibly upper middle class-lower upper class), who has never really had to deal with the problem of life.

So, you will see exactly how the world works in a few years times. Because it is rather obvious you don't know how it works now.

When you don't have mummy and daddy to turn to, you will see things differently. This is not a "what-if" or "maybe". Unless your parents are rich and pay for everything, you will at least.

How come liberal Democrat pantless squirrel family gets to be happy, and anarcho-capitalist family has to be in the Edgy Children's Books section of the library (Which, while the bestselling status of "Why Daddy Got Denied Parole" and "One Mom Three Personalities" show this genre to be quickly growing, still lacks the market that the mainstream has acquired.) Pure discrimination, I tell ya.

I hope this hasn't been posted before, its funny if a little disturbing for who its aimed at.

Strange, isn't it, that the book doesn't mention "Mommy could have killed you while she was pregnant if she wanted to".

This book is kinda...creepy I guess. I don't see a problem telling your kids what you believe in and why. I mean, come on, you're really going to hide that from them? You think that they won't notice? At least be up front and let 'em know why. From there they can make their own decisions because presumably you're not raising them in a box. If you are, you've got bigger issues...

That being said, is it all that important for your first grader to be all that concerned about what political party mommy belongs to? It just seems unnecessarily specific-I mean, when I'm giving Hot Wheels to my nephew I'm not belaboring him with drivers position and drive train preferences. Though I guess if he's having to defend himself from kids whose parents just read him 'Help, Mommy There's a Liberal Under My Bed" or whatever I can kinda see the point, but I would have preferred that 'we' (I'm not a democrat, but by association...) just didn't play at this level...

I actually woke up my roommate laughing at that.

We didn't have things like this when I was a kid. I can remember my parents and the neighbors discussing the Kennedy - Nixon election in 1960, sort of. I know my folks got a dinner on the outcome.

Of course you'd bring your kids up in your own political beliefs, who wouldn't? To say that's indoctrination or brain-washing is rubbish, it's what parents do.

As for you, Greill, we do that because everything to you seems to be a plot by the insidious government to take away your hard-earned money. It gets tiring, and so you get made fun of sometimes.

Well, I do think everything is a plot by the insidious government to take away my hard-earned money. I just wouldn't be me if I thought otherwise. But I don't mind the fun-making, 'tis in jest after all. :)

What's wrong with it? My politics reflect my personal values, those things and beliefs that are important to me. Why shouldn't I try to pass that on to my daughter?

Theres a difference between explaining your personal values and forcing them upon your child. Especially since kids are extremely impressionable and will probably believe every word you tell them.

You have kids? Let me tell you something--it's damn near impossible to truly force your personal values on your child, no matter how assholish a parent you are. In fact, the more you push, the more likely they are to back away.

Perhaps in their later years, but I can remember as a kid believing almost everything my parents told me. Santa claus, the first in a long line of lies...
Hahaha I got the glitch...

"Then me and daddy go to work in the mill for 16 hours for 10 cents an hours. Daddy tells me if I work hard enough I might make 12 cents."

This will be the opening paragraph to why Daddy is a Libertarian.

My daddy is a hard working man, he goes to his job and works all day, and then he comes home and plays with us. We have a good life because he is able to bring home all of his money under the Fair Tax plan. We can do whatever we want as long as we do not hurt others and respect others. The only time I've ever even see a government facility is when we go to the post office. Daddy says that we no longer have to worry about Government being too powerful again, life is great.

Don't forget the biweekly militia meetings.

A lot of people must be buying that as a joke. Did you read the list of books that people buy after this? The Dirt by Tommy Lee and Hegemony or Survival by everyone’s favorite academic communist, Chomsky.

Yeah, I have a feeling this book is going to create a lot of young Republicans.

Or no one will buy it, which is more likely.

Yeah, I have a feeling this book is going to create a lot of young Republicans.

Frankly, I think part of the reason there's been a resurgence of young liberals in the last five years is because all of the young Reaganauts my age and slightly older tried to force their kids into becoming little conservative automatons and it backfired on them.

What's wrong with it? My politics reflect my personal values, those things and beliefs that are important to me. Why shouldn't I try to pass that on to my daughter?
Depends how you do it. If it's "This is what is right, everything else is wrong", then oh god stop. If it's "This is what I tinhk is right and why, but you should make up your own mind" then go you :)
on what grounds? i mean, obviously it's wrong to raise your kids to be republicans or fascists or fundamentalist lunatics. but that is because those sorts of beliefs are wrong, not because they are beliefs.

I feel like I should be sensing humour, but it's just not coming through.....

I can no loner sit idly by in the face of Democrat infiltration, Democrat indoctrination, Democrat subversion, and the international liberal conspiracy to sap and impurify our prescious children's literature.

Don't worry, they haven't still touched My Pet Goat.

Saving that for the Bush Library?

Among the other pieces of fiction that comprises the entire collection.

:p

Sorry to throw in a cute kid story but my wifey is a English as a second language teacher. She brought in a cute stuffed little goat. She is trying to teach the little kids to call it a goat. So far they have called it everything from a horse to a skunk but few if any have called it a goat yet. This may have changed today because she is starting her policy of "You can only play with the goat if you can call it a goat."

I live vicariously through my wifey. Her job is more fun than mine.

Same thing happens with religious indoctrination, sure they'll be nice and christ-loving when their cute little kids, but by the time they're 14 they'll be sacrificing goats to baphomet.

I hope this hasn't been posted before, its funny if a little disturbing for who its aimed at.

Yay for partisian hacks destroying democracy and public discourse again!

How open-minded, maybe it comes from wanting to continue loving God. But oh I forget, all religious people are conservatives. :rolleyes:

Sigh. Let's forget for a moment the snarky part of your post. Do you mind telling me where you gathered that I said all religious people are conservative? Is your computer working improperly and putting something on the screen that isn't there, or are you just beyond stupid?

yeah, and to my recollection its the less fucking nuts religions that have the most trouble retaining active membership across generations. though the insane ones tend to wind up with a rather high proportion of atheists among those that leave.

Why the Hell isn't that boy squirrel wearing any pants?

What an odd question

Kevin Phillips in American Theocracy noted that since the inception of the republic, mainline churches (the less fucking nuts ones) have seen their percentage of the population decline pretty steadily, while the more conservative sects (southern Baptists and Pentecostals most notably) have seen their numbers rise as a percentage of the population. It's not a straight line on either side--more like ups and downs, but with a definite trend both ways. The more conservative faiths get big spikes during revival periods, and then they slip back, but they never quite slip back to where they were before. He thinks we're in a spike now and that it'll fade in ten to twenty years. I'm hoping it fades sooner, obviously.

Whenever you have a situation in America where things don't look to be going so well, you're bound to have a spike in religious attendance especially the "fucking nuts one".

You wouldn't notice someone going around with half of their clothes missing?
