File Type: epub
The New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller from a presidential candidate for the 2016 election! hr In God, Guns, Grits and Gravy, Mike Huckabee asks, Have I been taken to a different planet than the one on which I grew up? The New York Times bestselling author explores todays 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 of the big power centers and the Bubba-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 to the Duck Dynastys Robertson family. Gun rights, gay marriage, the decline of patriotism, and the mainstream medias 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. 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 Huckabees signature wit, insight, and honesty. **Review Anyone who has enjoyed any of the previous books by Huckabee--former governor, one-time presidential candidate, and Fox News host--will be more than satisfied with this examination of the differences between Bubbleville (New York, L.A., and D.C.) and Bubbaville (the rest of America)Huckabees leavens his musings on the state of the union with a sense of humor (I prefer boots over Birkenstocks. Does that make me weird?) that makes him enjoyable to read. Publishers Weekly About the Author Mike Huckabee was the 44th Governor of Arkansas from 1996 until 2007, becoming one of the longest serving Governors in his state s history. He left a legacy of tax cuts, job creation, the reconstruction of his state s road system, K-16 education reform, and a nationally heralded and duplicated health initiative that focused on the less expensive approach of prevention, instead of the costly big-government approach of intervention. His administration fought long-standing corruption in the state s political machine, resulting in numerous indictments and convictions of powerful legislators and other elected officials. Huckabee had been Lieutenant Governor for 3 years in July 1996 when his predecessor was forced to resign due to felony convictions.
