$4.00

Our nation suffers from an epidemic of upside-down thinking and we are poorer and weaker for it. That is the central premise of this new book by Rod Parsley. In it Parsley opens with a references to the 1970 movie Little Big Man in which Dustin Hoffman discovers that an old acquaintance has become a Contrary, an Indian with a mental disorder that causes him to do everything backwards such as washing with dirt and drying off in the river. Also cited are the perverse, inverted Bizzaro world of certain Superman comics and the concept of Newspeak from George Orwell s 1984, which declared: War is peace; freedom is slavery; and ignorance is strength.

In tone, the book is mildly satirical and uses humor and good-natured mockery liberally to poke fun at the absurdity of the twisted positions held by so many cultural elites. The style and tone would similar to that of syndicated columnists Mark Steyn and Jonah Goldberg.

Structurally, this work is divided into two sections, each covering a theme that illustrates the book s premise of upside-down thinking and values. Each section will open with a brief overview of the topic; contain 8-10 chapters covering some example or point; and conclude with a clear declaration of right-side-up thinking.
