With the growl of the Marine sergeant he was, Senator Zell Miller leaves no doubt that he believes his own Democratic Party is badly out of step with most of the country and needs to shape up or ship out. As part of a stinging critique of the Democratic Party, Miller outlines key positions on important issues that can again make the party relevant for the entire nation. From tax cuts to welfare, gun control to the environment, the arts to education, immigration to terrorism, Miller identifies values that make sense to a growing majority of Americans. Miller's candid analysis of the campaigns of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton further underscores his conclusion that the Democratic Party can no longer field a serious presidential challenge. Many party loyalists will not like what Senator Miller writes; yet his credentials are beyond question, for few Democrats have worked longer or stronger for the party and its candidates.

About the Author

Zell Miller began his career in public service in 1959 with a term as mayor of Young Harris, Georgia. In 1960, he was elected to the Georgia Senate at the age of 28. In 1974, he won the first of four consecutive terms as Georgias lieutenant governor. Then in 1990, Miller ran for governor and won the first of two terms he would serve as the states top leader.

Millers HOPE Scholarship program was dubbed by the Los Angeles Times as "the most far-reaching scholarship program in the nation. His pre-kindergarten program won an award for innovation from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

After leaving the governors office in 1999, Miller taught at Emory University and at his alma maters, the University of Georgia and Young Harris College. Five books have been written by Miller, including "Corps Values: Everything You Need To Know I Learned in the Marines." He also served on several corporate boards before joining the Senate, where he now serves.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

And so, Mr. Miller went to Washington. I wish I could say the experience has been like Jimmy Stewart s in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I wish I could say that I found Washington all I had ever dreamed it to be, the place where the great issues of the day are debated and solved, and great giants walk those hallowed halls. I so wanted Robert Louis Stevenson to be wrong when he wrote, "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive."

Unfortunately, what I discovered in Washington was truth, and truth did not set me free. It simply made me mad. It filled me with anger on behalf of Americans. You might still ask why I would want to take my own party to the woodshed. The answer is simple: My conscience made me do it.

Enigma

A TRUE Democrat

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2005

Verified Purchase

It is obvious that the Democratic Party has been losing elections because the average middle-class American no longer identifies with this party. Zell Miller is mad, very mad because he truly believes in the Old School party. The problem is simply that party, the great party of JFK no longer is around. Instead we have a Democratic party that looks out for moneyed interest, lawyers, big business and just about every fringe weirdo group out there. They no longer speak to the common man.

Is it no wonder that Zell Miller seems to align himself more with the Republican party - remember when JFK was in office he lowered taxes, he challenged people to work hard not live of the government, he was strong militarily - not afraid to use force if necessary. He took a stand against immoral behavior. Wow - kind of like the Republicans today.

The saddest part about this book is that it isn't making the true believers in the Democratic party mad. Instead those democrats get mad at Zell Miller. Instead of trying to swing their party back to the center and back to the Middle American they seemed bent upon taking farther to the fringes of the wacky left.

Sad to say but if the Democrats keep going the way they are and not heed Mr. Millers warning this party will be fade into oblivion.

Zell Miller comes across as homespun, honest and easy to like in the audio CD. Interestingly, many of the issues and concerns raised and discussed by Miller 15 years ago remain. In fact, many of them are worse - and the two political parties have further split, moved to the fringes, and quit working together. The Congress and President's parties have switched, but the approach hasn't. It is also interesting to hear the perspective of a "conservative Democrat" - as rare as a Rockefeller Republican today. A great insight into the last of a bipartisan breed.

I recognized this Democrat

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2004

Verified Purchase

I recognized Zell Miller immediately when I read this book. He is the kind of Democrat my grandfather was. He is the kind of Democrat I could have voted for if there had been real Democrats left in my time. I come from a long line of Southern (North Carolina) Democrats, but I am a Republican. I have the exact same values as my grandfather did, but his party (Democrat) was hijacked by socialists and liberals and no longer exists. If you are a Southern Democrat reading this review and Miller's book, then you know that your party is no more. That is why Miller is supporting Bush. Because Bush's values are much closer to his than the modern Democrats, who are really Socialists who have stolen the Democrat name.

A Democrat with Values AND Ideas, Too!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2004

****
This book was easy to read, quick, and entertaining. It was exciting for me to read about someone in my party (I am a Democrat) with strong ethical values and opinions plus the courage to stand up for them and to speak out. This takes hutzpa in our politically correct culture. If you are a Democrat, but feel discouraged at the overrepresentation of the party by (as you see it) hate-filled liberals, this book will be encouraging to you. Zell Miller is an honorable individual with both character and courage, and knowing that he remains a Democrat makes me proud of my party for a change.
The book is filled with specific things he did to improve the lives of the people of Georgia---ideas that worked! He contemplates ways of improving our country now and laments many of the failures of others' past efforts to effect change. Zell Miller discusses the importance of the arts (not a traditional conservative view). He also discusses the controversy surrounding the current environmental policy of the Bush administration and presents a view that supports some of their decisions---all based on facts. When he criticizes the Bush administration, he does so with respect, and not like a two-year old who badly needs a diaper change---so refreshing! This book makes you think.
Some of Zell Miller's idea are surprising, but all are provocative and ethical. If only our current Democratic candidates could take a hint from Zell Miller and present concrete, do-able ideas that are value-based, I think that our country would have a viable challenge to Bush. Unfortunately, this looks like it won't happen.
If you agree with my opinions, are turned off by Democratic demagogues, and wish there were more conservative Democrats, you'll like this book. If you are liberal or progressive and tolerant, I think you'll enjoy it too. If you are part of the so-called radical left you will probably find Zell Miller old-fashioned or unenlightened and be quite intolerant of him, his book, those who read his book, and those who think about reading his book. Still, you might want to buy it anyway and have fellow rad-libs over for a book-burning party while chanting "Anybody But Bush"!

A NATIONAL PARTY NO MORE

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2003

Verified Purchase

It' interesting to note the negative reviews were written by people with foreign names. How much history of this country do they know? I have been around a long time and see this party going in the wrong direction supporting the secular Civil Liberties Union and wanting the UN to decide our security. If this party returns to power again, we will see Christmas programs removed from all the schools as in California's 9th Circuit Court not allowing saluting The Pledge of Allegiance. This party has no tolerance to other views other than their own. It's almost impossible to have a civil debate on the issues, but instead, the liberals using the tactics of personal destruction because of their lack of vision or solutions.

Truth and Reason from the Heart of a Good Man

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have been a long time fan of Governor Miller. He worked hard for the people of Georgia and I can only imagine his frustration at all the stalemating he saw in Washington. This book was written in 2003, but then-Senator Miller correctly predicted the toxic political atmosphere we see today. His book is written from the heart and conscience of a true patriot.
