Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Review: Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed!

Medium ImageThis was an amusing look at two boys that open a lemonade stand so they can save money for a swingset. They’re good little boys and want to work for the swingset because their parents tell them it’ll make them better people.

But then… horror! One liberal after another shows up, setting new rules for the lemonade stand. Gallantly the boys keep trying to sell lemonade, but each time a liberal shows up, the rules get harder. Eventually the lemonade stand is unprofitable, and liberals have decided that the lemonade stand is inhealthy and unfair to poor children who can’t afford lemonade. The liberals confiscate the lemonade stand.

The cartoons and the names are amusing, as well. Oddly, the liberals in the book bear a striking resemblance to real life liberals. Will the real life liberals notice the resemblance? Probably not; I would expect the liberals to notice neither the characatures nor the actions of their fictional counterparts.

  1. Michael,

    Please learn to spell correctly. You’re fueling the notion that Southern conservatives are idiots.

  2. Heh. I only have that “notion” among hypercritical liberals responding to posts over a year old.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
