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.

 Caught in the Act

Hastart the bastard caught slithering out of his hydrogen car
Republican Dennis “the concerned citizen” Hastert, Speaker of the House, gave a press conference about oil and future energy. He gave his speech, rambled on about some bs, then got in his hydrogen car and drove it a few blocks, got out, and hopped in his gas guzzling SUV to drive the remaining few blocks back to his office.

Even Bush is calling for at least one of the tax-cuts to be allowed to expire. However his party disagrees. Isn’t it obvious where the true Republican heart lies?! When a man who’s whole family fortune rests on oil, half heartedly calls for higher taxes on the oil industry, and then his party allows the plunder to continue, shouldn’t that say something?

You can read the whole story in the
Washington Post.

If you still think Republicans care about the little guy more than Democrats after reading this, you should have your brain examined. Seriously, it should be covered by our insurance. Unfortunately, since Republicans have forced us to keep this wonderful health-care system they are all making a fortune off of (and we’re footing the bill), they will not be able to get the help they so desperately need.

COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP! Look what 26 years of Republican domination has gotten us! Absolutely nothing. They say they’re Christian, but look at society. If it sells, it’s Republican, …
