Homegrown Democrat - A Few Plain Thoughts from the Heart of America (Paperback, Revised and Updated ed.)

In this thoughtful, deeply personal work, one of the nation's best-loved voices takes the plunge into politics and comes up with a book that has had all of America talking. Here, with great heart, supple wit, and a dash of anger, Garrison Keillor describes the simple democratic values-the Golden Rule, the obligation to defend the weak against the powerful, and others- that define his hard-working Midwestern neighbors and that today's Republicans seem determined to subvert. A reminiscence, a political tract, and a humorous meditation, "Homegrown Democrat" is an entertaining, refreshing addition to today's rancorous political debate.
