Children"s Author: Warn Kids About Liberals
Tue Sep 13, 3:00 AM ET
(PRWEB) - Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2005 - The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina has exposed an ugly truth about liberals, and parents need to teach this to their kids, according to the author of a controversial upcoming children"s book.
Katharine DeBrecht the author of the soon-to-be-released "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed" (Kids Ahead; hardcover: $15.95; ISBN 0976726904) dismisses the notion that parents should not talk to their young kids about politics. If anything, she claims, the behavior of liberals following the flooding of New Orleans shows that parents with traditional values need to take a hands-on approach to making sure their kids aren"t bombarded by left-wing messages.
"Liberals don"t hesitate in pushing their extremist ideology," says DeBrecht, the mother of three and a co-captain of her state"s Security Moms for Bush. "Their actions in the wake of the tragedy in New Orleans shows this only too well."
In support of her point, DeBrecht asserts that as soon as New Orleans" levees burst liberals set out to exploit the tragedy. She notes that Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal immediately blamed President Bush for the flooding, Jesse Jackson claimed black residents were abandoned because of conservatives" racism, and columnist Robert Kennedy Jr. argued that opposition to the Kyoto treaty on global warming caused the hurricane. Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan even used the tragedy to argue against America"s liberation of Iraq.
"As crass as they have been in exploiting the tragedy in the Gulf Coast," adds DeBrecht, "they have been equally aggressive in exploiting America"s children. From pro-socialist stories like "Rainbow Fish" to attacks on traditional values like "King & King," liberals have been pushing books with their extremist philosophy into our classrooms and school libraries unabated for years. Conservative parents have to do what they can to make sure their kids hear the other side of the story."
Although its official publication date is still a week away, "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed" has already made waves in the typically staid world of children"s publishing. The announcement of the book caused an uproar among liberal commentators, with many claiming the book teaches children to hate. The full-color illustrated story tells of two brothers who open a lemonade stand only to encounter a Ted Kennedy character who taxes away their profits and a pants-suit clad Hillary Clinton look-alike who outlaws sugary drinks.
"Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed" will be available in bookstores nationwide on September 20.

Are you kidding? I'm already thinkin' about aunts, uncles & cousins. This may end up on the NY Times bestseller list. The cherry on top...
Will the NY Times even critique this book? They don't usually critique O'Reilly's books do they? And even if they do, how can we be sure that B&N will even offer it for sale?
My 8 year old want to know why homeless people don't just get a job.......................................?
Treasure that child, he/she is a beacon of hope!
A few years ago when the west was on fire and on tv a lot...fast forward a month later, and I'm in the car with my 7 year old driving back from WDW. I was listening to Rush on the radio, and my daughter asked me why so many fires were burning out west, and especially in Arizona (where we used to live). For the next two hours or so, we talked about liberals wanting to save all the trees vs. more responsible controlled burning. We talked about taxes vs. spending and donating our own money. She practiced her spelling by writing down and making a list of all the places we are taxed by the Rats. It was a moment of mother/daughter bonding I shall never forget. Lol!

Oh, trust me we do! He is wise beyond his years!
The bestseller list tracks sales - nothing else.
And even if they do, how can we be sure that B&N will even offer it for sale?
If it's gonna make money, B&N will sell it.
I warn my kids about liberals.
Me too...it's an awful lot of fun!
Oh, that story burns my ass. It's a shame too because it's beautifully illustrated and could have been a great book for children. The first time I read it to my oldest daughter she asked me if the Rainbow Fish did the right thing. Needless to say, that taught her better than to ask questions during bedtime stories.
After I finished reading some reviews by other conservatives, I turned to my wife and said, "We're gonna stick with Dr. Seuss."
Said commentators need to take a stroll throught DU.
Thought you'd appreciate this...
I almost swallowed my tongue when my five year old son piped up from the back seat, "Did you hear what the President said Mom? If President Clinton said it, it must be a lie, right?"
Bwahahahaha!!
When I was pregnant with him, Rush was on for six hours a day, because I was so sick I was practically in a stupor. : )
LOL....My kindergartner at the time told his friend to hush because Rush was on.....
Thanks for the ping!
