OK, I know this is probably old news to everyone in America who saw this
2 years back... but I've just stumbled across this:
http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=1753
After reading the blurb, then taking several minutes to ponder if this
was for real or not (it is), I was overcome with an urge to laugh at and
lampoon this book...
This is the opening paragraph from the link above:
"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."
This is my version:
"This full-color illustrated book is a sadistic way for parents to
brainwash young children with the valuable lessons of liberalism.
Written in simple text, readers (including you Mr. Bush!) can follow
along with Timmy and Liam as they open a lemonade stand to raise funds
for a new swing set in their neighborhood playground. But when fascist
conservatives (one of whom owns a swing set factory) start demanding
Timmy and Liam cease their 'socialistic efforts' to pursue a private
enterprise, force them to erect a model crucifix in their shop front
(despite the fact Timmy and Liam are adamant pantheists), and sue them
for 'misappropriating' the patented genes in their lemon based
beverages, the young brothers experience the downside of living in
Conservativille."
Anyone else want to try their own versions? Could be fun... whatever
your political polarity.

The conservatives like to collect the money, but seldom do they like honest
work. They usually prefer to make rules and push paper. The underpaid
liberal worker actually does all the hard stuff like, the making and selling
of the lemonade. Then the conservatives complain that liberals are taking
their money, but the only work they ever do is counting it!.
