Why Mommy is a Democrat

I’m sorry, but this is just bizarre.

And what’s that cover illustration all about anyway? Those look like squirrels wearing shirts. Squirrels with strange tufts of fur on their ears. And is that horse symbolic or what??

Overall, I think the Democratic party comes a little closer than the Republicans to actually supporting the ideals I personally hold dear, but let’s get real here, shall we? Democratic politicians are still politicians.

Why Mommy is a Democrat brings to life the core values of the Democratic party in ways that young children will easily understand and thoroughly enjoy. Using plain and non-judgmental language, along with warm and whimsical illustrations, this colorful 28-page paperback depicts the Democratic principles of fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others. It’s a great way for parents to gently communicate their committment to these principles and explain their support for the party.

Hmmmm.

  1. That “horse” is a DONKEY, dear. Couldn’t very well have him carrying an elephant now, could we? But very odd, indeed. Who knew that squirrels were democrats?

  3. OOOOh. Okay. Donkey. Now it makes sense. I had some weird “Equus” or “Trojan” symbolism running through my head.

    Well… I never knew squirrels were Democrats. But it figures… all those nuts they collect….

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Kidding, kidding… ;-)

  5. I think the book is a reaction to books like Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed! which are put out by the other side.
