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.

 Blacklist Me Mr. O’Reilly!

By D. Psypher - 11/30/2005 ()

Our good old wacky right-wing nut job pal, Bill O’Reilly, in a recent rant on his National Radio Show, apparently invited Al Qaeda to attack San Francisco.

In a response to the city by the bay’s passing of a ballot measure which prohibited Armed Services recruiters from entering public schools, the right-wing pundit said “[I]f Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we’re not going to do anything about it. We’re going to say, look, every other place in America is off-limits to you, except San Francisco.”

The clip was then censored from the transcript and delayed broadcasts. The O’Reilly team apparently tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Lucky for him, the major media is in the hands of the corporations who think along the same lines as his distorted views, as the story had no traction in the major media. If a Lefty had said anything in the same vain, they would have been stoned to death by the right leaning media.

However, a few outlets, such as MSNBC, did report the story.

O’Reilly then promised to target and even …

 Republicans in Denial

By D. Psypher - 11/7/2005 ()

I posted this response to a well-known Republican poster named Howard Kurtz (apparently this guy gets printed on the Washington Post and was mentioned on CNN). He tried to come off as Libertarian and objective, although there were serious weaknesses in his argument. So I pounced on him like a well-prepared mountain lion. I know, I should not waste my time battling a narrow-minded fool; I just could not stand it any longer! These righties and their stupid talking points have gutted my gills for the last time. He tried to confuse the readers on the details; making a horrible situation that offends the CIA (they don’t like it when their agents identities are in print. They even asked for the investigation), and he took the talking points straight from the source (Bush, Rove, etc.) and tried to look for any weakness in the argument against the White House. Well let me tell you something, I found plenty of weakness in him. I have been told that I kept the argument on the big picture. You make the call!

It is really amazing that so many Republicans are in denial. They once championed the cause of perjury in regards to …

 When It Hits the Fan

The Dick behind the White House

Well the calm before the storm has now been broken, and the wild first wave has rolled in. Our poor beleaguered president has been taken down a few pegs and those of us who had to sit there and take it for so many years while the right wing attacked every thing that was near and dear to us are expected to not rejoice in the streets and pop open bottles of champagne. Sadly, the fact that justice is finally being dealt to a bunch of “alleged” crooks who ran the White House with such impunity, that they would use evidence they knew to be faulty, and attack those that would expose them, just so they could go to war. This truly is nothing to celebrate.

In case you don’t follow the news at all, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of Staff, has been indicted on 5 criminal charges and could possibly face up to 30 years in jail and over a million dollar fine (although maximum sentences are worst case scenarios) for perjury and obstruction of justice involving the outing (blowing ones cover) of a …
