Really Big Coloring Books, a Missouri-based publisher of coloring books for children, has come out with "The Tea Party Coloring Book for Kids." According to the publisher’s Web site, the coloring book, available for $3.95, “Teaches children (and parents) about the origins of the Tea Party and what it involves. A very pleasant song, coloring and activity book on Liberty, Faith, Freedom and so much more!” Wayne Bell, publisher of the 32-page coloring book, claimed in a CBS interview According to a St. Louis TV station, a branch of the US military bought 3,000 copies of the book to pass out to children. Our nation’s military using tax dollars to politically indoctrinate kids should strike you as a bad idea, whatever your politics. More alarming, however, is the fact that crayons are not included with the book, meaning children may be forced to engage in the socialistic practice of sharing crayons. My guess is that the manufacturer didn’t want to risk the wrath of Glenn Beck when the conservative pundit found out that a brown crayon would have to be included. The publisher’s Web site says that the coloring books are “manufactured in the United States with Soy Ink and guaranteed 100% safe against non-toxic inks, paints & dyes! We participate in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Program.” So it’s a product that helps keep manufacturing jobs in America, reduces the amount of harmful chemicals introduced into the environment and promotes ecology? This is a Tea Party book we’re talking about, right?
that the book is ”not really making a political statement." Like anyone would even suspect that a book about a political movement had anything to do with politics. The Los Angeles Times reports that the coloring book is rife will grammatical errors. “Government is "suppose [sic] to use our tax dollars" wisely. Federal debt has "become a life style because as [sic] this will bankrupt our country," reads one sentence, according to the Times. So at least the coloring book will prepare children to write out the signs carried at Tea Party rallies.

Missouri is a state where many parents will buy this for their children. anything 'democrat' they oppose, anything 'tea party' they support. Glen Beck is a hero, semi-god. and so, they end up supporting war, death, incredible debt and the federal reserve. Another poster said Missouri was a big meth state. republicans, democrats, crystal meth - all 3 are about the same.
That was probably me. I lived in Missouri for years, and actually like the place. Low taxes, low cost- of-living, kind of libertarian in a lot of ways. If you on the side of the road in a rural area people will stop and ask if you are okay. Once in a rural area a friend and I were in his car when two girls pulled up
Once in a rural area a friend and I were in his car when two girls pulled up short, reversed their car, and burned rubber the other way. There, finished your incomplete sentence for you. No charge.
lol....Your sentence was lacking in just one phrase: Once in a rural area a friend and I were in his car when two girls pulled up short, reversed their car, and burned rubber the other way, squashing a turtle in their hasty exit and spewing turtle guts all over the road.
HA! You wish! In your dreams! They flashed us and then sped up and were gone down the road. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
Sure, Turtle. They were a couple of meth heads who mistook you for their speed connection who was supposed to meet them on the road for a score. They sped away as soon as they realized it was a case of mistaken identity.
Nope. They pulled up next to us, saw how cute we were, flashed us, then zoomed away. You fantasies are...fantasies!
lol....if they thought you were so cute, why did they zoom away?
You really think they'd pull up their shirts and then stop?
If they really did think you were cute.....yes. Since they didn't think you were cute, they zoomed away as fast as they could. lol
Tiffany: Hey, Krystal, you see whut I see up there? Krystal: I shore do. It’s a pick-up truck, with a Confederate license plate, driven by a couple of meth-head hoosiers. And they’re wearin’ cowboy hats! An’ prob’ly cowboy boots! An’ look at the flag an’ eagle decal in the back window! Tiffany: Our kind of white trash! How we gonna meet ‘em? Krystal: Same as we always do. Show them our big floppy tits, and if they
