Dr. Frank's What's-it

While I see the awfullness in this type of "literature," I have to disagree with the critic in a sense. Yes, our job as parents is to show our children the rich, wide world before us, but that isn't the job of your typical christian family to whom this book seems aimed. Their duty, and I speak as a recovering baptist, is to teach not only their children but also the rest of society/the world that there is only one true way. Any other way is wrong and/or sinful. That's the mindset that we as open, engaging humans must battle. I don't want my sons to see one way. I want to help them to find the right way for them, and I want to show them how to do it safely. Such is not the case with your typical conservative because there is usually only one right way when you are dealing with closed minds.

Wow, that was funny! I can just see the libs running around screaming "brainwashing!!!" but really now, that was hillarious. The angry Hillary kicking the lemonade stand was priceless! I'm getting this book and putting it alongside my other comedic novels.

what, doesn't everyone like their lemonade with a side order of jesus?

Now I'm rethinking my decision to read "Help! There's a Recidivist Capitalist Running-Dog Landowner in Our Communally-Owned Grain Silo!" to my kids every night...

Yikes! Just more proof that this country has gone completely bats**t crazy. If conservatives on the far right were as smuggly confident in their politics, attitudes & lifestyles as they let on why should they have to worry about indoctrinating their youth? Although I've swear I've heard political conversations at work between conservatives that sound like a group of kids on a playground making fun of the unpopular kids (i.e., liberals) with insults that could only make sense to a fifth grader. So maybe children's books are an appropriate forum after all.
