A propos de cet article
As new condition blue boards with light silver/white spine lettering, contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction: God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy; and Index. "This is a book about God, guns, grits, and gravy. It's not a recipe book for Southern cuisine, nor a collection of religious devotionals, nor a manual on how to properly load a semiautomatic shotgun. It's a book about what's commonly referred to as "flyover country," the vast portion of real estate that sits between the East Coast and the West Coast and which more often than not votes red instead of blue, roots for the Cowboys in the NFL and the Cardinals in the National League, and has three or more Bibles in every house. It's where there's nothing unusual at all about God, guns, grits, or gravy. It's not a novelty; it's not strange or weird. It's a way of life. Let me introduce you to the land and the people for whom God, guns, grits, and gravy all make perfect sense. After you finish the book, you might just say, "Dang, those good ol' boys ain't so dumb after all." - Mike Huckabee from the rear outer jacket "In [the book], Mike Huckabee asks, "Have I been taken to a different planet from the one on which I grew up?" The New York TImes bestselling author explores today's fractious American culture, where divisions of class, race, politics, religion, gender, age, and other fault lines make polite conversation dicey, if not downright dangerous. As Huckabee notes, the differences of opinion between the "Bubble-villes" where most people live are profound, provocative, and sometimes pretty funny. Where else but in Washington, D.C., could two presidential golf outings cost the American taxpayers $2.9 million in travel expenses? Government bailouts, politician pig-outs, and popular culture provocations from Jay-Z and Beyonce to Honey Boo-Boo and the Duck Dynasty's Robertson family. Gun rights, gay marriage, the decline of patriotism, and the mainstream media's contempt for those who cherish a faith-based life. The trouble with Democrats, the even bigger trouble with Republicans, our national security complex, and how our Constitution is eroding under our noses. Stories of everyday Americans surviving tough times, reflections on our way of life as it once was, as it is, and as it might become.These subjects and many more are covered with Mike Huckabee's signature wit, insight, and honesty. At times lighthearted, at others bracingly realistic, Huckabee's brand of optimistic patriotism highlights American ideals, offering a bright outlook for future generations. With a wry sense of the ridiculous and a clear-eyed look at the most controversial issues of our time, God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy is Mike Huckabee at his very best." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
