A small publishing company is under fire after putting warning labels on copies of the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and other historical documents.
Wilder Publications warns readers of its reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers, among others, that “This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.”

It gets better:
The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they
“might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work.”

I thought "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest" was only a book ...
“The values expressed in those documents come from what God values,
and He is unchanging.
If we are now in an era with “different values”, it is our society values NOW that are wrong, not the values in those documents.”
Well said MrB! Well worth repeating...
Some values are timeless.
CAUTION: Reading the following historical documents may make you realize that you no longer have the same freedoms and liberties that our founding fathers wanted you to have. May increase blood pressure, cause dry mouth, heart palpitations and increase sudden urges to whack some liberal in the head.
caution: head hitting liberals may cause sudden and explosive expansion of air normally reserved for.......space
It gets better; You have to read the paragraph said publishers wrote after that one on Amazon.

Isn’t it AMAZING what happens, when you have a “President” whose brother lives in a hut in Africa? We might as well be led by Idi Amin!
Thanks to you all everywhere for ‘nudging’ right back.
Lapine posted this afternoon that he has rethought his position and will be removing disclaimers in all future books.
On to the next battle!
