We live in duplicitious times, and nothing is more duplicitous than the rhetoric of the Republican Party. Simply put, what Republicans say is not what they mean, and you need a dictionary to comprehend what they mean. Thus was created The Real Republican Dictionary, a work that offers understanding and clarity of "Republican English." Featuring almost two hundred definitions, numerous illustrations, as well as a revised Bill of Rights, altered to more accurately reflect the current political climate, it is our hope that this dictionary will establish an alternate reality to Republican rhetoric, a reality that those in the reality-based community like to call "the truth." Some Activist Judges--Judges who refuse to adhere to a strict interpretation of the Ten Commandments. Axis of Evil--Liberals, Homosexuals and the French. GOP--God's Only Party. Iran--Next. NPR--Not Pro Republican. Peace--The short interval between wars. "You already know right-wingers are mean. Now find out what they mean."—Ted Rall "When I have to figure if what I mean is what I say, I consult The Real Republican Dictionary."—George W. Bush
