"Children are naturally idealistic so the left takes adavantage of their ignorance"

I have not found this to be true.
IMHO, children are naturally self-centered, and idealism is a thing that is taught, primarily by parental example.
I also do not consider liberals as "idealistic".
Liberals are merely "ignorant" only if one generously assumes they have actually progressed beyond normal childish self-centeredness.

BTW, I will buy at least four copies, if the book is as funny as it sounds!

I would have to agree that some children are naturally self-centered but I've found that some are more so than others. Maybe I should've said more accurately that children are more susceptible to "idealism" and are more trusting because they have not developed adequate critical thinking skills. Now when I am saying this I mean they are more likely to accept extreme views concerning the environment, feminism etc without speaking to the quality of those views.
I tend to view liberals as thinking themselves as being high-minded and even though I would agree with you in that I don't think such views are truly "idealistic", the liberals that hold them surely do. They see themselves as correcting imbalances and inequities and offer solutions that are far detached from reality. I would not be so generous as you to think that liberals are "ignorant" because I believe they know exactly what they are doing even though I believe that they are simply wrong.
