Denise Ross’s column on Sam Kephart in Saturday’s Mitchell Daily Republic includes this:
"I’m loyal to the Republican Party. I’m not blindly loyal. The best idea in the room is going to get my vote," he says, and then decries the sense of entitlement and "arrogance instead of God-given gratitude for being a congressman or senator" that he’s observed in some politicians.
With the help of a PowerPoint presentation, also viewable on his Web site, Kephart lays out what he sees as critical issues facing America — winning the war on terror, the growing amount of American debt and assets owned by China, reckless practices on Wall Street and efforts to erase references to God from official American events. He notes that the signers of the Declaration of Independence wrote that they would rely on "divine providence" to guide the young country and hew it to the principles they had laid down.
"We no longer honor our heritage. I’ll be darned if we’re going to sanitize God out of American culture on my watch," Kephart says.
