Now This is a Disturbing and Lame Bit o' Propoganda


I came across an ad for this today on my Gmail page....

Why Mommy Is a Democrat

I "love" how it says its "nonjudgemental" but has pictures of "others" in the background enjoying expensive educations, ignoring the poor, and an elephant running down the road is the "danger" that the democrat mommy squirrel is protecting her children from.....

That's not judgemental at all.....more like not realistic.

Those are squirrels? I thought they were furry aliens with antennas. Don't think our daughter will be reading that book. Granted it helps that she can't read yet.

btw, I had trouble with your link

Odd that you should post this... I saw an exceprt from this very same book just about 5 days ago!

Perhaps it is less propaganda than an alternate perspective. I guess that is just a matter of where you come down politically.

It certainly couldn't be worse than Republican political operatives shrieking about how "unpatriotic" some Americans are, based solely on their support for some of the current administrations policies, can it?

Cheers,

GF

gunfighter is right it isn't propoganda. It is entirely correct in portrsying the DNC that wants to take other people's money and give it to people who refuse to work because being on the govern't dole pays better. They are the party that assumes they know better than everybodyelse. They are the party that assumes the federal government is the answer for everything. Finally, they are the party that will tax the middle class because they don't really want to tax their rich donors.

Interesting observation... totally nonsensical, but interesting. Anyway, peace be with you.

I must apologize for the poor quality of my previous comment. I actually can write better, my excuse is that I was typing, while trying to hold my nine month old daughter who is currently teething.
