"This old Marine sergeant shakes his fist at some of the most difficult and controversial issues of our time - the United Nations, illegal immigration, abortion, radical activist judges, gangsta rappers, steroid-popping baseball players, and the well organized efforts to diminish and destroy Christian values in our society." - Sean Hannity "This book is about how we may yet save this great civilization from itself." - Zell Miller "There have been ten generations of Americans since this nation was founded.Each left this nation in a little better condition than when they inherited it from their parents. This is the first generation at risk of doing the opposite. Why? I have come to believe the reason is we have failed to acknowledge and discipline ourselves with the spiritual truths that make us great for these two hundred years - faith, family, country, values. This book is about how one man thinks they may be restored and how we may yet save this great civilization - from itself." - from the Preface "So, as the sand empties through my hourglass at warp speed - and with my time running out in this Senate and on this earth - I feel compelled to speak out. For I truly believe that at times like this, silence is not golden. It is yellow." - Zell Miller, from the Senate floor speech "A Deficit of Decency" Out of reverence and love for his country, Senator Zell Miller assessed the core of the United States in this gut-wrenchingly honest speech to the U.S. Senate. In A Deficit of Decency, he continues this call for a return to a sense of duty and decency that lies at our nation's foundation. A former U.S. Senator and Georgia Governor, Zell Miller identifies a wide range of issues where a shortage of decency is threatening the very heart of America: the disconnected Washington elite; the decline of traditional Christian values; the outdated and unfair federal tax code; the irresponsibility of the liberal media; the lack of decent role models in sports and music. Risking friendships and a lifetime as a party leader, Miller speaks candidly about the sense of duty that led him to attack his own party and deliver a keynote speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention. This sense of decency in the face of hostility, he believes, is desperately needed at the heart of American culture. In a time when commitment to duty is dying, Washington D.C. doesn't care, and Christian values are being ignored. Zell Miller offers this treatise on how we may yet save this great civilization - from itself." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Seller Inventory # 002578
