Clarkson Gives Rousing Speech

Fred Clarkson, author of Eternal Hostility: The Struggle Between Democracy and Theocracy and founder of the Talk to Action website, spoke at the 12th Annual Meeting of the Oklahoma Chapter of Americans United last night. He gave a rousing speech that clearly identified the problem with democracy in America.

Clarkson says the problem with democracy in America is not the Religious Right. The problem is with the rest of us. The Religious Right is politically engaged and active. Most of the rest of us are disengaged and inactive politically. Clarkson encouraged us to move from talk to action.
