Good, conservative parents: after you finish reading our Rebecca Hagelin’s most excellent book called Home Invasion: Protecting Your Family in a Culture That’s Gone Stark Raving Mad, buy this new book by Katharine DeBrecht called Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed! and read it to your kids.

A children’s picture book for conservatives whose villains include Hillary Clinton and Senator Ted Kennedy has become the surprise publishing hit of the year.
Sales of Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed! have rivalled even the latest Harry Potter novel, with the book racing up the best-seller charts after it was published two weeks ago.
Written by Katharine DeBrecht, a mother of three, it tells the story of two young brothers who try to make money from a lemonade stall but are thwarted at every turn by Left-wing politicians who threaten to put them out of business.
Steeped in Republican values, the book was written as an alternative to Left-leaning children’s tales such as King and King whose royal hero finds true love in a gay marriage and Heather Has Two Mommies about a little girl with lesbian parents.
Mrs DeBrecht, a journalist and member of the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women, says she wrote the book because she could find “nothing to teach traditional Republican values… My children were being bombarded with liberal values in school and books and on TV and the movies.’‘
Several of the characters in the book are instantly recognisable, including “Congresswoman Clunkton” who tells the boys to reduce the amount of sugar in their lemonade and forces them to add a sprig of healthy broccoli to every glass.
Other recognisable characters from American politics include Sen Kennedy as “Mayor Leach” who takes half the profits for tax and then squanders it on dustpans.
Later the boys are ordered to take down a picture of Jesus by the civil liberties lawyer Mr Fussman and eventually lose the stand when it is taken over by the government of “Liberaland”, at which point it goes broke.
Apparently she is writing a follow-up book already, called Help! Mom! Hollywood is in My Hamper! There will be “plenty of recognisable characters”, she says.
Memo to self: email Katharine DeBrecht and thank her; order book.
Don’t forget to read our Ann Coulter’s How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must) too. That troika should give you a good sense of liberals generally, and serve our Canada well —now and into the future.
