"Moist men."

Hilarious!

I love the evil, rich, oh-so-white people in the background.

Where's my cigar and playbook for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?

Bwaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Time for a three-martini lunch, and maybe rolling a bum, too, if I hurry.

Nevermind all the heavyhanded swipes at the elephantine plutocrats, what's with the little antenna doohickies sticking out of Mommy's ears? Is Zilber shacked up with a space alien?

Will the sequel be, Why Daddy Is a Human Shield?

Now that's funny!

You are so easy.

Hey,

There were some Nazi children's books along the same lines. The Jews were disguised as lazy drone bees freeloading off the good little worker bees and such. There was a fellow in NZ who posted descriptions but I can't find the link.

Here's some of the Nazi books, cute little drawings and all: Trust No Fox, The Poisonous Mushroom, and The Poodle-Pug-Dachshund-Pinscher. The last contains bedtime stories like The Drones and The Tapeworm.

I was just about to ask for links and here I have them. Thanks Chuck. I've turned them into an Update.

Help, Mommy! There are Liberals under my bed!

Great sendup; just today I saw a kid's book called "The Factory". My kid loves gear and process and engineering lego stuff so my first thought was: T would like this. Don't judge a kid's book by its cover is a lesson I take from GVDL. It was a beautifully drawn and colored hunk of tripoid left propaganda in which a factory's smokestackes are demonized and then pushed over by the colorful workers. A new smokestackless factory then goes up along with the sun and blooming flowers. Color me gulag.

Just to be fair and balanced: There is also a book recently published called something like "Mommy, There's a Democrat (or liberal, not sure) Under my Bed!" I'll bet both books are hilarious!

Lost in the sticky margins of "Why Mommy is a Democrat" is something almost always missing from these liberal wastewater fantasies...any hint of where "Mommy" gets the money for her gentle, caregiving lifestyle. Is the obligatorily absent Daddy one of the demonized gray background figures? Do the evil bystanders provide "Mommy's" living through welfare entitlements? Will the children ever learn the real facts of life, or will Democrats continue to give "Mommy" a monopoly on the contents of their minds? Stay tuned!

It appears that Zilber is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Government at Lawrence University in Appleton Wisconsin, and has a permanent position at UWM. Too bad for both institutions.

I have my order in for the sequel:

Why Both My Mommies are Democrats

I don;t think the democrat party ever had good ideals. If you parse then through the ideals were marxism, ainti-Americanism, etc.

What exactly about the platform of the Democratic party of, say, 1996 do you agre with?

This has GOT to be a Rove plant - it is so heroically inept as to render serious critical analysis meaningless. The mind boggles at this latest installment of mealy-mouthed liberal inanity.

Mommy makes sure everyone can go to school.Just not for a good education. Mommy makes sure we all share our toys. As long as they are your toys we are sharing. Mommy make sure we are safe . By protecting mass murders from the death penalty ,By providing free legal reps. for terrorest.By sueing police for profileing. ect. ect.

My girlfriend is an uber-liberal. She voted for Ralph Nader, twice. She told me earlier today that this book is a fine example of why she will never again date a liberal man. I find it odd that anyone is surprised by this sort of thing coming from a party whose most recent presidential candidate suggested the creation of a Department of Consciousness Raising.

We need to find someone to write "Why Daddy is a Republican."

I think it's interesting that Mr Zilber would choose squirrels as his model Democrats. In my experience, squirrels are among the dumbest of God's creatures. Ever see the way one will sit at the curb, and then dart out in front of an oncoming vehicle? Or how they'll be almost all the way across a road, and then reverse course and track right into the path of a car? Kind of like the way Democrat candidates start making progress, then reverse course and go directly under the tires of an oncoming Republican SUV.

How about 'Mommy is a Democrat because she has a brain the size of a walnut'?

Squirrels get a bad enough rap sometime. Why turn them into Democrats?

More sequel possibilites:

"My Other Mommy is a Democrat, Too"

"Why Daddy is a Rebublican (And Why I Need Him As Much As I Need Mommy)"

"My Was a Democrat, But She Got Mugged"

"Mommy Quit Being A Democrat After After She Heard, 'I'll Just Get A Check In The Mail, So Why Should I Work For A Living?' One Too Many Times"

"Daddy Is A Republican Because He's The One Who Earns The Money Mommy Likes To Spend."

Okay, I'm done now.

Arg! I wish a guy could edit these things.

"My Mother Was A Democrat, But She Got Mugged."

Okay, one more.

"Why My Mommy Is A Democrat (Except For Two or Three Days Once A Month Or So).

I am DEFINITELY done now. All typos in my posts are caused by frustrated liberals trying to silence a contrarian voice.

Mommy is a Democrat because Daddy just fathered his fourth child on a fourth Mommy.

Seriously folks,

Time for a "Daddy is a Republican" book.

We got plenty of ideas. We just need an illustrator.

I think the Republicans should be...

ants.

Think Aesop, and you'll understand.

One more,

"Daddy is a Republican, because..."

He's the one who gets out of bed when Mommy hears "something."

Funny how all the comments on this page favor only the conservatives. What ever happened to "both sides of a story?" You Repubs have a nasty rep for your nasty comments and this page is simply more proof that it's true. BTW, did I hear at least ONE comment on what to do about our problems besides bashing Democrats? How about a plan for the environment, poverty, the stupid war in Iraq, etc.? This continued bashing game serves neither you nor your country. And THAT'S why I'll never date a conservative. Too nasty and bitter to have any fun.

The book is so blantantly wrong it's breathtaking...does the author not know of homeschools, vouchers, etc? It's not the GOP that seeks to keep poor kids in the unionized plantation!

"Democrats make sure we share..." that is, they force people to pay taxes and then claim it's 'charity' whereas most conservative charities actually do the lion's share of lifting the real poor (as opposed to keeping them perpetually poor). I note that all the cities completely run by democrats (Detroit, New Orleans, Washington DC) are complete basketcases despite being in close proximity to major industry, major ports/oil, and the federal capital. Why is that except that democrats don't spend "the peoples" money wisely? They create poverty, not solve it.

Speaking of "the environment" what HAVE the democrats done for 'the planet'? Some 11th hour tightening of EPA standards by Klinton don't count when he had 8 years to do so. Kyoto was shot down by a vote of 95-0 in the Senate, under Clinton - which means all the democratic senators voted No to destroying the economy so the Chinese and Indians could continue to pollute.

And when was the last time the US invaded a country that wasn't a threat to us? Kosovo and Haiti ring any bells? So wars are OK when the nations invaded pose no threat and have no strategic consequences, but when a nation does pose a threat and our being there improves our strategic position suddenly it's bad and a waste? Neither Haiti or Kosovo have constitutional democracies as Afghanistan and Iraq do...yet the Dems claim their little wars to be morally superior to our most recent ones? Breathtaking stupidity.

Finally, speaking of killjoys, where is the sense of fun among the Democrats? All is doom and gloom for them, everything is a crisis, everything is bad, and 'progress' consists mostly in areas having to do with dangerous sexual activities or the breakup of traditional family morality... hardly something that gives one a sense of this political party having a future. They might be fun to date, but they're not marriageable types.... they won't have more than 1 kid so.... the future belongs to Republicans. Yeeeee hawwww

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that the Democrats would dare indoctrinate our youth. Don't they realize the only people allowed to force their drivel on children are Sunday schools and the Boy Scouts?

This is SAD!
Do you hate Jews more or less than Republicans?
I am a Christian and my Saviour is Jesus the Jewish carpenter.
You must be along with everything else you proclaim --an atheist.
Wake up!

OOPS! I THINK I MISINTERPRETED YOUR SITE!
What if Democrats do?????????

Propaganda is that which presents one side and pretends the other side doesn't exist.

How in the world can Democrats accuse Republicans of nasty comments, when Democrats have Hillary as a mouthpiece? Does anyone still remember the slam against stay home mothers, the healthcare fiasco that still bites us in the wallet, the "vast right wing conspiracy" comment while covering for her guilty husband, the selling of pardons, and the looting while exiting The White House? The difference between a Republican and a Democrat has become accountability. As a parent, I resent that this mindless drivel is being marketed as a children's book. However, as an American I value our freedom and liberties. So instead of looking to the government or a corporation for an answer, I just won't buy the book!!

I'm sure you'll find this book in the fiction section of your local Book store right next to Bill Clinton's Book...

Also missing from the story is the father. The strong, responsible, caring type like the one that I married. Oh, did I mention...he's also white? Gasp!

See? By omission, Zilber has pigeon-holed the American male to irrelevancy.

The cigar smoking politicans I remember are Democrats like John Kennedy...but rekcon this is a different subject to argue about.

Oooops..sorry: should have added "Aboot" for those in The Great White North (I still miss Cretien, eh?)
