About this item
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 Beyonc to Honey Boo-Boo to the Duck Dynastys Robertson family.
