About Freedom Clock
For over 225 years the American Freedom Clock ran proudly forward without pause or hindrance. On December 19, 2005 George W. Bush proclaimed that his administration was not subject to oversight by the Judicial or Legislative branches of our once Constitutional government, the forenamed branches acquiesced without objection, and the American Freedom Clock was reset and began to run backwards.

A Reality of Choice

 

"Wars and battles my be lost, but hope cannot be."
SearingTruth

 

 

Fellow citizens, few progressives have been more critical of Obama and the Democratic Party than I.

 

From the restoration of our civil liberties, to the travesty they proclaimed Health Care Reform, to continued preemptive war without end, to the award of trillions of dollars to billionaires instead of their victims the people, thus far the Democrats have failed, dismally.

 

But the time is soon coming when we must make a choice. Not a choice about those who have succeeded, but a choice about those who may still realistically do so.

 

And as saddened as I am by the Democratic Parties betrayal of their core values and those who elected them with such great fervor and zeal, there is no doubt that they also remain our great nations only hope.

 

For the Democrats still comprise the last small organized and electable bastion of progressives and humanitarians within our forsaken land, while the Republican Party, without doubt, is comprised only of a new dispassionate evil.

 

So despite our anger, despite our disappointment, and despite an unfulfilled promise of justice, we must reelect the Democrats in November. There is simply no other choice. A choice mandated by simple reality, and what is clearly a lessor evil than the horror the Republicans would gleefully unleash upon us.

 

And then we must continue to demand, voraciously and without pause, the Democrats unfulfilled promise of change, and hope.

Community Books are authored by the global SIFLAJ community and reflect a wide variety of views. The only requirement is that they forward the goals and adhere to the principals outlined in our mission statement. So if you see something you agree with, disagree with, or have something you'd like to add then don't just ooh, ah, or boo; contribute your own content or discuss it in one of our forums!.

The following mini browsers automatically display excerpts from community books. By default they display random content every minute or so, or you can click Next anytime to manually browse to the next content. Turning off the Auto feature stops the automatic updates, and turning off the Random feature displays content in the order it appears in the Community Book. This is usually not as fun and interesting as seeing what randomly pops up though!.
