This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

The one she wrote on Hollywood is even more nutty. She makes fun of all these "liberal" celebrities...including Tom Cruise, whose political leanings are a little to the right of Jeb Bush... To me this reveals the authors true agenda, she isn't anti-liberal or pro-conservative, she is pro-Western-Style-Christianity. Cruise is mocked not for his political stance, but for his religious one. And while I applaud the mocking of a Scientologist, at least be honest about your motivations...
And then she lumps Hillary Clinton in with her "celebrity friends." This despite the fact that Mrs. Clinton is actually about as far to the center as you can get politically. She's more conservative than some Republicans are... So she is mocked not because of her actual political stance, but because she is married to Bill, the number one guy on the Republican Hate List. This kind of propaganda has no business in a book targeted at 4 year olds, and I don't care if the propaganda is leftist or conservative, either. Let the kids alone.

It occurs to me that, if all persons were conservatives, those who weren't quite as conservative as the others would be deemed liberals.
Wasn't it a conservative group or individual several years ago that made a big stink about teaching some kids with a lemonade stand about real life by wanting them taxed and forced to comply with health codes? I vaguely remember a news story something like that. Curious, too, that the "valuable lessons of conservatism" involve fighting against being forced to sell broccoli, something no liberal would ever suggest, but almost universally abhored by children. A good lesson in twisting and spinning, but that's about all.

I've got an evil liberal answer to this.
Suppose Brad and Janet (the first two names to spring to mind, for some reason :-) are two kids in primary school, and Janet wants to borrow Brad's pencil sharpener for her colouring pencils, which are mostly blunt. If Brad was an evil communist liberal, not needing the sharpener himself at the moment he would lend it to her and reasonably expect not to need it until after she was done, or be content to wait until she was. If he was a good conservative capitalist who loved the American Way, Brad would hire the use of the sharpener out to her, taking payment in the form of being able to use her pencils for a time period equal to 150% of the time she spent using the sharpener, with interest charged during the period between the loaning out of the sharpener and the loan of her pencils in return. If she defaulted on payment by virtue of there not being enough time left in the day to loan out the pencils for the appropriate amount of time, she is declared pencil-rupt and is banned from borrowing sharpeners for the rest of the week. If Janet decides she cannot afford to pay the price of renting the sharpener because she needs to use her pencils herself and wont have enough time to complete her drawing if Brad has exclusive rights to them for the next half hour, she can instead purchase pencils that have been one-time sharpened by Brad at the cost of two of her blunt pencils each.

In the sequel to this novel titled Neoconville, Tommy knocks up his 16 year old girlfriend (despite having previously signed a Chastity Contract) because he was never taught how to properly use contraception after sex education was banned from his school. Forced to go through with the unwanted pregnancy because abortion was outlawed in his state, the couple get married. In order to support his new family, he decides to enlist in the military and is promptly sent to Iraq and is killed. His new wife and child are then subject to a life struggling to pay the bills with a series of part-time minimum wage jobs because the military death benefit was cut in order to provide the top .5% of earners with estate tax relief.
Not to get political about it....just saying.

Even scarier are some of the reviews....
"When my granddaughter first mentioned this book I thought ''well i best get my gun and send those liberals back to their home in hell.'' Then her mother said, 'no pop, put down the gun, there are no liberals under her bed. PUT THE GUN DOWN POP'' After a heated stand off with my barrell aimed right at the little ones bed, I finally did. We sat down and read this wonderful book with my grand daughter. I can't tell you how accurate and funny this book was. Refreshing would be the word if it were a drink. Unlike pagan math books America finally has a book that helps our children, i.e. the future of America. Something that will help them understand how liberals hate us, and how they will do everything in their power to destroy the name of Jesus Christ. It's nice to see that a book uses common sense and logic to explain to children the evil ways that liberals control the media and take our money. The broccoli was great. Though the lack of 9/11 references is some what disheartening for a children's book, which is why I am giving it a 4."
