During a visit with an
acquaintance, I enquired about her political leanings. I was told that her husband was a staunch
conservative and a lifelong Republican. She went on to say that she had been a
Democrat when she arrived in Howell County, but soon realized she would be
better accepted by the community if she became a Republican. This feat she had
evidently accomplished. I too arrived in
the Ozarks as a Democrat, but have never succumbed to the temptations of
conversion. My convictions are not so easily
amended. I’m an American, a Christian,
and a Democrat. My true and irrevocable conviction
is to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with my God, and to vote and do
everything else humanly possible to support the right and freedom of others to
do likewise. As for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord. SC
