Madison resident Jeremy Zilber has been an internet joke since self-publishing Why Mommy is a Democrat last November. Last week he provides a Progress Update on his adventures in childhood indoctrination.
Its primary goal is to encourage Democratic parents to discuss their political beliefs with their children in an open, honest, and positive way. It also serves to remind adult Democrats what it means to be a Democrat, i.e., what our party truly stands for. Finally, the book is a fundraising tool, with at least 5% of the profits going to Democratic candidates and party organizations.Zilber promotes his book as a way to help children understand core Democratic values which he defines as “fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others”. He may not realize it but he actually nails the essential core value of the current Democratic Party, which is without a doubt fundraising. Raising money by dinners, social events, pledge drives, mass mailings, auctions and raffles are all considered noble endeavors. Non-profit profits are the lifeblood of the progressive movement and I always find it ironic when their activists complain about low sales.
Am I hoping to sell more copies by getting bloggers to discuss it? Obviously I am. But I'm also trying to promote our party, which is something we should all be working together to accomplish.
All types of blatant child oriented propaganda are easy targets for satire so start here for the links to the links.
