Sheet Bland of Liberty

“Borrowing its title from the patriotic anthem ‘America,’ the book serves up a propaganda dish of rather benign right-wing political ingredients. Gingrich’s pages trade in egregious simplification, the elimination of all conflict, suffering, and debate, a mindless joviality, the complete absence of diversity, and an elephant-child character that, apart from symbolizing the author’s political party, displays no discernable personality and undergoes no development of any kind. It is inconceivable that this book would have been published without its author’s high-level connections. An eight-year-old boy of my acquaintance disdainfully suggested that it was better suited for three-year-olds.”—Ellen Handler Spitz on Callista Gingrich’s children’s book, “Sweet Land of Liberty.”
