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.

 The Dam is Breaking - Republicans Abandon Bush

By Wise 1 - 7/25/2007 ()

Bush is the worst president in history rolling stone bush sucks buck fush

The little Dutch boy would need to hire a crew of Mexicans to help him plug all the holes in the Bush Administration’s wall of defense. Unfortunately for them, Alberto Gonzales was not one of them today. His clear failure to defend the shady handling of the firing of 9 attorneys for political purposes has left Bush and his cronies defenseless to the Senate investigative committees, which are now looking directly at the White House. Bush and his cronies, coming off the fresh sentence commutation for convicted perjurer Scooter Libby, have refused to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary Committee, allowing two supenaed associates to simply refuse to show up. In other words Bush told the Committee to go f___ themselves.

Today, Gonzales took the stand in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to defend their recent actions. The Senate was baffled by this seemingly mafia-like attitude that they don’t even have to respect Congress enough to show up and lie. A lot of Senators have been rumbling on the Republican side of the aisle these days and they’ve been finding their unquestionable loyalty …

 Moral Outrage

By Wise 1 - 7/18/2007 ()

nullOur glorious leader today declared that he opposed expanding the nation’s small, but popular health care insurance plan for low income families, State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) based on what his staffers call “philosophical grounds.”

If that isn’t the height of just-too-muchary. He claims it is “enlarging the role” of the federal government and therefore he must veto the Democratic led plan because “you’re really beginning to open up an avenue for people to switch from private insurance to the government.”

Uhm. Duh! Private insurance has proven year after year with increasing velocity that it has failed. It puts too heavy of a burden on small businesses as well as large, too heavy of a burden on middle class families, especially low-income families, and has led to skyrocketing costs in the development of pharmaceuticals and fancy cutting edge treatments. Sure the rich have state-of-the-art medical care, its just that a vast majority of people don’t have access to good medical care. The myths of the long lines and wait times in universal health-care countries is blown way out of proportion and the horror stories told in Micheal Moore’s film Sicko are not isolated incidents. My own …

 Right is Wrong

By Wise 1 - 7/8/2007 ()

What is a Republican anyway? What the hell do they stand for? They now claim about the Democrats what we’ve been claiming about them for years: that they don’t really stand for anything. They define themselves by opposition to every single issue they believe in. They’re anti-immigration, anti-abortion, anti-government, anti-homosexuals, anti-civil-rights, anti-separation of church and state, and anti-union. The only thing they stand for is pro-business, pro-war and pro-intrusion on civil-liberties which they all mask behind cute little phrases like they do with abortion. Let’s take a look at these Republicans a little closer. While we see them as ultimately voting against there own interests, they see themselves as fighting for freedom and democracy. In truth they are victims of one of the most brilliant political rouses in history.

The point is that the Right’s lack of a true ideology is more than just mere politics, it is a grand façade for the pro-business elite to begin constructing a Neo-Liberal state in this country. Yes I said the L word, but I’ve been hearing Neo-Liberal used by the Right to explain why Bush failed and I have to laugh, Bush and the entire Republican Party are Neo-Liberal. They wish to create …

 2 Years of Good Clean Fun!

By Wise 1 - 7/4/2007 ()

soapblox turns two years old

While the site went through 9 months of preparation, the official birth of Soapblox came on a warm summer day in 2005, it was July 4th. Since that day, not much has changed here at Soapblox. We have learned a lot in the past 2 years on how to make this site work. It hasn’t been easy, yet we’re still cranking out the material trying to stand up for the things we believe in the most. There are many more readers as well. The numbers continue to increase month to month and it certainly helps. Having people read this stuff is the sole reason we do it. Profit is not our intention, and believe me we haven’t seen it. What keeps us above water? Our passion. While we have grown, the spirit has remained the same. We are still very small, the bulk of the content comes from my own pen and the operation is still for the most part an underground broadside operation.

Broadsides and small pamphlets are what spread the fires of revolution across the Thirteen Colonies, making names for men like Thomas Paine and giving voices to those who sought …

 Get a Loder of This

Michael Moore Sicko Micheal Moore
I know we Americans like to think our health care system is the best in the world but it is not. Just because people with a good PPO plan and spend $1000 a month are taken care of, doesn’t mean the rest of us are. All the statistical data proves this, as far as quality, mortality rates, life expectancy, the U.S. falls to 37th in overall health ranking according to the World Health Organization. Michael Moore tackles this issue in his latest film “Sicko", and you know when Moore’s on the case, the powers that be start to feel the heat.

Michael Moore is equally as divisive a character as he is passionate. He’s stuck his neck out for so many tough issues like the factory closings of multi-national General Motors, the issue of guns, our culture of media induced fear and the ease of which nutjobs can obtain weapons, the war on Iraq and the crooked agenda of President Bush and now universal health care. So far, Moore has been right about all of his previous films topics, as proven with GM’s further factory closings, that wacko at Virgina …
