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.
I always knew someday conservatives would be asking the question prominently on the minds of most rational Americans: Is George W. Bush an idiot? I just never knew that it would happen less than 2 years after his re-election. Conservative talking head Joe Scarborough recently asked that question on his show, and posted in his blog what can only be called an attempt to put distance between him and Bush, effectively putting his Libertarian cloak back on, pretending to be a friend of the little guy, calling Bush “not conservative".
Scarborough is no friend of anyone left of the wrong right, but he’s no idiot. He obviously is preparing for a massive disaster in the Bush camp, and has leaned on the same strategy all conservatives have, either one, saying Bush is not a true conservative and pretend to be Libertarian (which are opposing ideologies btw) and rant and rave about how Bush never met a spending bill he didn’t like, stuck America’s nose where it shouldn’t have and failed in the efforts of war. Or there’s door number two, pretend Bush is not conservative enough, and chant the neo-con …
In a new oppinion peice, Washington Post Oppinion Editor E. J. Dionne Jr. slams the Bush Administration for using fear politics in what he calls “a crowd that has clung to power by dividing us into bitter camps” and goes further, saying we will never move beyond angry partisanship, bitter politics and divisive rhetoric until this lot “gets the rebuke it deserves.” AMEN!
You see, the Republicans, now feeling the sting from Lieberman’s loss, plus a new poll from CNN, which is all over the political sphere, claims that 60% of the country is opposed to the Iraq War. A new ground swell of grass roots Progressive politics is emerging from small towns, urban communities and even suburban track villages. This movement has not nearly achieved its potential and it is growing. It’s an undeniable force now in the world of politics, and Lieberman’s loss is our battle cry, a sign of the amazing potential this movement has to destroy the powers that be, and usher in a new era of bipartisan true reform. The powers that be, are afraid, and will do anything to keep the status quo …
Poor Joe,
His crusade to defend the average American Democrat who is indecisive on the war, loves religion and apparently believes anything Bush says has apparently failed. I suppose his twisted idealogy of warfare, do-nothing politics and religion garnered little sympathy from anyone left of the right-wing nutjobs that call themselves Republicans and/or moral human beings (you can fill in here with any insulting comment you like). Poor Joe! Oh poor pathetic Joe. I suppose it’s all over for you… or is it!
I’m guessing he may pull it out just yet in the arms of his new found Republican friends. Should we worry? YES!
This man is not one of us, but if he wins, he may, or may not cast the vote to the appropriate side. After all, it is most important that this right winger cast his official vote to the Democrats (not to specific bills, but to Senatorial power [which would add one more vote to the Dems]), ultimately deciding leadership rolls and the agenda of the entire Senate. Let us not as Progressives make more enemies than we need. We have enough enemies. Progressivism is about reaching out. About …
Everywhere I look now, I see the Republican movement faltering and in full retreat. It was not long ago that conservatives like Mary Matalin, high off their victory in 2004, proclaimed Liberalism is dead. Now, no more than a year later, it seems to many such as Tucker Carlson (YES TUCKER CARLSON) that the real proclamation is “What went wrong with the Republican Party?", as described in his Cato Newsletter entry “The Decline and Fall of the Republican Party.” Yes, it seems as if the era of far-right domination, ushered in under Reagan, carried forward during Clinton and the Republican congress and topped off with 6 miserable years under Bush, has finally run its course.
Of course many, such as your devoted muck racking writer, among many other more respected journalists have seen this coming for years. Hell, I’ve been predicting it for so long, many friends are angry at me for not seeing the prediction come to light. While it is still far too early to break out the champagne and celebrate, it is time to gather the dogs of war and encircle the …
