Liberty, freedom, and...jobs? Somehow being consigned to a lifetime stuck in a cube or operating a machine doesn't jibe with Liberty and Freedom.

"Get involved, participate, self reliance, freedom of choice, work, government-of-for-by the people, Leadership, Ingenuity, Jobs and responsibilty!"

That's some snowbilly-esque word salad right there. Just spit out the catchphrases as they float over the transom. No, never mind about spelling. And throw a few initial caps in there while you're at it.

It's a Tea Party coloring book, but has a Lemonade (Lemonaid for poor people) stand pictured on the cover. I'm confuzed.

I guess the classic lemonade stand is meant to evoke free markets operating in their purest and simplest form: just a child, a table and a product. So charming and inspiring.

Except the the table (borrowed from parents), the lemonade (from the kitchen), sidewalk (city road), currency (backed by financial system), safety from robbery (police). These kids are showing us how socialism works. Bastards!
