From the ashes of Election 2010 comes a Tea Partier named Hedrick. He’s feeling really Grinch-like. He did not win in Washington State, but he has written a highlighted children’s holiday yarn called "The Liberal Claus(e): Socialism on a Sleigh". As Newser puts it, this can be a classic "How Obama Took Christmas" story where the thinly-disguised Barry the Liberal Claus, Mrs. Lichelle Claus, Elf Peloosi and Mr. Snore steal Christmas. The kids of the Tea Party eventually conserve the day, with a little help from that hallowed document, the Christmastution.
Only cost Obama $20 to steal Christmas
The North Pole Treasury is bankrupt, Hedrick told the Portland Mercury, so Barry the Liberal Claus borrows wherever he can, "eliminates toy specialists and commits other atrocities." The Tea Party boys and girls result in being in charge following the elves Barry flees to leave Christmas after elves wave copies of the christmastution in his face. Hedrick makes his point. He explains, “Never forget that free goodies from liberal elves often come at a price.”
Kid’s understanding with satire
America's youth tends to be indoctrinated in a more liberal sense. Many say that even though David Hedrick wrote "The Liberal Claus(e): Socialism on a Sleigh" as a way of changing that, many say it’s inappropriate. Nicholas Humphrey, Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins all say that it’s inappropriate to teach kids about politics or religion although philosophers would say they go together. A biologist, Dawkins, gives an example. Labels are in this. Calling someone a “child of Christian parents” instead of “Christian child,” is significant. Wikipedia helped out. It said:
"Dawkins hopes that the phrase may also make kids aware that belief is not something that is inherited automatically like eye color; that they do not have to follow in the religious footsteps of their family. He has tried to raise people’s consciousness of this matter, and hopes that phrases like ‘Christian child’, ‘Muslim child’, or ‘atheist child’ will ‘grate like fingernails on a blackboard.’"
Sales numbers for David Hedrick’s "The Liberal Claus(e): Socialism on a Sleigh" have not been made public as yet. Nobody knows if it will strike a chord or end up being a problem for children.
