Here is your antidote:

Note that these books have a more positive spin…they are about the values, rather than whining about the opposition.

And these are the same people who want to ban the Harry Potter series and other great children’s literature from libraries? Now I’m really scared

#50 Sher, I’m curious why anybody would pay more than $4.95, since I read it’s readily available at that price. Of course, winky’s little ploy is to make everyone buy the rag at full price from whatever venue she’s doing her book signing at or her rabid little fanbase can’t get her autograph. I don’t think she could pay me to read her book or waste one second of my time attending her book signing. In my opinion she is the most reviled woman in America, and with good reason.

I’d also strongly suggest you avoid Glenn Beck’s The Christmas Sweater. If you know Beck you can see how he subversively inserts his political views in there to brainwash the little kiddies. I read parts of it for free using Google. It’s GOP propaganda in the form of a childrens book pushed as a charming, endearing Christmas story. It’s implied it’s based on Beck’s life.

Gag me.

If you want to teach your children the values The Christmas Sweater purports to teach, read them The Gift of the Magi instead. There are plenty of accessible copies out there with beautiful illustrations. It’s shorter too.

jc in co Says: If a book is marked down to $19.97 from $25 how in the world are you saving $9.02?

Sorry, jc. My bad. It was late last night and I think I was punch drunk. It said, sale $19.97 reg.
$28.99. I can’t imagine anyone paying even $19.97 for it, though. Some of her rabid followers will, though, I’m sure.

#31 Sher not only are they promoting the “other” book they’re sorely lacking in the math department. If a book is marked down to $19.97 from $25 how in the world are you saving $9.02? Apparently they have as great a command of simple math as winky does of grammar.

Yes, vyccan, I, too, was perplexed by “in which for him to speak.” Perhaps the authoress of this tome is not a native speaker of our language. Sadly, and more likely, the authoress is a native speaker of our language who has had her natural idiolect corrupted by idiots who think Latinate rules imposed upon the language in the 18th C. are more correct than instinctual (gut, if you will) knowledge provided by the language itself.

But that’s contemporary conservatism at it’s core, right? The point is following rules, abiding by theology (regardless of whether there’s a theos or not). That the rules were just made up a few moments ago or that the rules don’t really apply is beside the point.
