Award-finalist author John Clifton shows you in this handy guide that it's never what you think!  It's all here, from "academia" to "Zionism," insightfully and perversely defined for you in terms that leave the language laid bare, and, occasionally, laid in ruins. Here is a "Devil's Dictionary" of political words and phrases, illustrated with cartoons by the author, that will have conservatives and liberals laughing and thinking at the same time.

Author John Clifton begins with the story of his wife, who was diagnosed with Stage Four lung cancer. The bad news came on Christmas Eve, 2012. The prognosis from the oncologists was bleak. But Clifton decided to explore natural treatments. After all, there was nothing to lose. After sifting through tons of purported "remedies" and "cures," he came upon information about something called "paw paw." It was an extract from an American tree. To his surprise, this little-known treatment had been thoroughly studied and tested- for THIRTY YEARS! The success rate was amazing, and even more startling was that so few had ever heard of it. His wife started to take the paw paw capsules along with her standard (palliative) treatment. In less than a year she was cancer-free. Clifton wanted to scream - here was something remarkable, with a proven track record, and yet nobody seemed to know about it, and how it had extended - and even saved - so many lives. Instead of screaming, he wrote this book. He filled it with crucial information, case histories and scientific studies, dosage information, even included a chapter on veterinary use - and made it all understandable and readable. Paw paw is not a strong poison like chemotherapy drugs, but instead acts upon cancer cells to inhibit their ability to produce the energy they need to replicate. Paw paw even kills multiple drug resistant cells that chemo is powerless against. The volume is thoroughly documented and referenced, with a complete index. Clifton has also included natural remedies that complement paw paw, and tells the reader how to avoid unwanted side effects. Simply a "must" for anyone fighting cancer.
