The original Soapblox.com adheres to one major principle: A government afraid of its people is far more effective than a people afraid of its government. We are a think-tank for the grass-roots progressive revolution, writing articles and highlighting events that are of great interest to Progressives. We provide our readers with information the major media gate-keepers don't want you to read, that focus strongly on the strategic and tactical battle plan for the New Progressive Movement. We provide the truth and the truth is grim, so we sweeten it up with a touch of brown sugar.

 Defeat

By D. Psypher - 7/29/2005 ()

The following is a letter to my congressmen (Henry Waxmen) to support a House resolution that would reduce troop strength in Iraq, at the bottom of this letter, you will find the opportunity to write a similar letter, or you can use the one they provide for you. Also please feel free to copy and paste this one in there too:

Bush + Power = Trouble

While it is never a pleasant situation to admit defeat, it is a common fact of life. Hardworking people lose jobs, political parties lose elections and we all make decisions from time to time that can cause a lifetime of regret. As much as we try to avoid these failures, they are situations that will occur, and then we move on. The idea is to keep these mistakes to a minimum. When speaking of war, you’re talking about the worst kind of failure. War in itself reflects a failure, a failure for human beings to sit down and work things out without having to resort to killing one another. Once a war is in place however, things can escalate very quickly out of control. In the Modern U.S. that war had better be …

 The Burning Bush

By D. Psypher - 7/25/2005 ()

Don't Do It Curious George!

America’s wannabe holy man on Pennsylvania Avenue is increasingly coming under fire as close friend and advisor Karl Rove’s involvement in serious allegations of playing politics with CIA agent’s lives, lying under oath and obstructing a special prosecutor increasingly fingers the White House. Is Rove the sole man to blame for outing CIA agent Valerie Plame? Or is perhaps Rove innocent? Or perhaps Rove is the first big fish to fry in what is becoming a scandal so big, so bad, it implicates the President himself in guilt for falsely starting the Iraq invasion.

America, for the first time in recent memory, agreed on something! 75% of all Americans, want to see the portly brainchild of Bush’s shady re-election thrown out of office if he leaked information that exposed an undercover CIA agent. I know the Republicans are all over this, trying to spin it in their direction. Claiming it’s all a smear campaign. I must say, that is truly remarkable that there are rational human beings out there that would buy that load of bull. And yet human beings manage to impress me …

 Thank You

By Wise 1 - 7/16/2005 ()

I am greatly appreciative of the kind words that have been said about the launch of this site. It has been over whelming to say the least!

I proudly announce that over the next few months, a few additions will be made to wash this world’s mouth out properly on every cavity! Consumer issues, social dilehmas and political spins will be exposed for what they actually are!

Here we do not embrace party, but progress!

Lots of insultingly delicious satire is coming soon!

Thank you for staying true!

It has been an interesting couple of months getting this site ready. Ebb and Flow (my associate and resident coder) has been breaking his back to get this website ready for action. We have gone through many changes and the site is officially walking on it’s own two legs.

 The Jeffersonian Strategy

By Depsy4 - 7/3/2005 ()

There is a lot of talk these days about the liberal Left and the conservative Right being at odds in heated locked battle. We hear all of these other meaningless rants about how the Christians are rising stars in the US political scene, and how Americans want more God in politics. We even here utter nonsense about how Liberal politics itself may not survive; despite the fact we had one of the nation’s closest (and questionable) elections in history. While such stories sell newspapers and ad revenue, the truth of the matter is the Republican party is facing a deep state of crisis. The statue at the top may be elaborate and intimidating, but it lays on 3 equally important pillars: The Libertarian Pillar, the Religious Right Pillar and the Wealthy Elite Pillar ($319,100 and up tax bracket and wanabees) . If one pillar fails, so does the party. Off in the distance, I can see one of these pillars cracking and breaking, giving way to a new age of politics, the likes of which are comparative to Jefferson, Jackson, Teddy, Reagan and FDR.

It seems that every 30 years the Left or the Right gain control and dominate Washington for …
