We have been assured this is not satire

WHY MOMMY IS A DEMOCRAT
A different kind of children's book.

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 commitment to these principles and explain their support for the party.

Why Mommy is a Democrat may look like a traditional children's book, but it definitely isn't just for children. With numerous subtle (and not-so-subtle) satirical swipes at the Bush administration and the Republican party,Why Mommy will appeal to Democrats of all ages!

Intrigued as we are by attempts to defend the indefensible, we checked out the sample pages.

"Democrats make sure we all share our toys, just like Mommy does."
[The Ponderosa: What an insipid analogy. A person's hard-earned income is a toy? Let's put this in a manner that even a liberal can understand: Say Sammy Squirrel goes out and searches all day and collects 100 walnuts. Stanley Squirrel, who lives a few trees down, prefers to spend the day curled up in his drey, snoozing the day away. What would you call Steven Squirrel were he to snatch up half of Sammy's walnuts and lavish them on Stanley? Why, A THIEF, that's what! ]
"Democrats make sure we are always safe, just like Mommy does."
[The Ponderosa: Unless you're in Mommy's womb ... Seriously, anti-military, anti-law enforcement, pro-criminal, anti-gun ownership ... continually buoying the spirits of the Jihadists! Mommy and her pals run most major cities. Anyone feel safe walking through them at night? ]
"Democrats make sure children can go to school, just like Mommy does."
[The Ponderosa: For some reason, Mommy doesn't want other mommies to have a choice of where to send their little squirrels to school. Mommy must be an NEA member! ]

We'd love to see how "satirical swipes" can be executed using "non-judgmental language".

We wonder if the book includes a "warm and whimsical" illustration of the aftermath of an abortion.

We are considering writing a companion volume to this masterpiece: "Mommy, Why Did You Abort My Little Brother?"

No, wait -- for little Isabella: "Mommy, Why Won't You Marry My New Daddy?"
