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.
Chris Mathews, who sways and bends with the political breeze is often a bit of a curmudgeon, however he tolerates all points of view, all frames of mind. His love of the political game is what seems to keep him going. What he doesn’t seem to tolerate is outright, baseless political jockeying, oh and one more thing: outright stupidity!
In comes Right-Wing Conservative talk show host Kevin James. Fresh from his radio show, talking up Bush’s recent diplomatic swipe at Obama and his weak argument that it’s similar to the Munich Conference (the same Munich Conference that gave Hitler everything he wanted to avert World War II, which obviously failed). James, however did not know even this much about one of the most talked about diplomatic events in history. He instead, thought he could talking point his way out of the enclosing box being inflicted on him by Mathews.

Only it didn’t work, and in his desperation, tried every Right-Wing trick in the book to no avail. Mathews had the 2nd tier talk show …
The times they are a changin’, a famous prophet once said. And while this statement is almost always true, its utterance is often a signal of its significance. That the winds of change are blowing in the mind (to quote the prophet again), or minds I should say, of millions of angry people all across this great land. With the events that are occurring and unfolding right before our very eyes, change is no longer a hope, it’s a reality, one that will rattle and unsettle and even uproot the systems of the past, the grand institutions of the present and our very belief in the future. Prepare yourselves my fellow countrymen, for the battle for control is drawing to a close.
I know it’s been hard to look around these days at the state of the world. The reality is often to grave to discuss. Disasters at home and abroad, two wars we are unsuccessfully waging, famine and hunger, global warming, recession, the list goes on and on. However there are seeds of very positive things to come sprouting in a very fertile field.
George W. Bush has been badly …
I’ve always known that O’Reilly was an angry hack. What I didn’t know was that he was a comedian as well. In an absolutely hilarious tape that has recently surfaced (and is all over YouTube), Bill O’Reilly completely flies off the handle like a baby deprived of a pacifier. His rage was apparently flared off by a teleprompter statement regarding a Sting video.

“There’s no words there, I can’t read it!”, screamed the loudmouthed pundit. His larger than life Irish head damn near exploded, virtually popping a blood vessel, all for a Sting video, The Soul Cages, of all albums.
I got a big kick out of this and I imagine you will too. Be sure to spread it to every friend & loved one, political & apolitical, Democrat & Republican. Let’s make O’Reilly the next Internet star! He’ll give that Chocolate Rain guy a run for his money, that’s for certain. Oh and hurry! Before Inside Edition makes YouTube take it down!
Former Bush Undersecretary of Defense Policy, Douglas “Barney” Feith, and one of the main architects of the Iraq War, I must add, stepped into Jon Stewart’s “seat of heat” last night, pushing his new book like P.T. Barnum and defending what has been called the “worst foreign policy decision in American History”.
If you enjoy watching Neoconservative, Harvard elite, war mongers get bested by a late-night comedian, than you will enjoy watching the uncut version of last night’s Daily Show. Feith, who struggled in his defense, grasping for arguments wherever he could, was ambushed at every turn by a well prepared Stewart (who actually read his book). Jon was able to reduce an intellectual think-tank strategist with two word responses, that seemingly tore down everything Feith spent paragraphs of defensive ranting building up.
It really makes you wonder doesn’t it, just why weren’t these questions asked in the first place?!
Feith, who argued for the invasion of a country that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of lives, has taken on the …
Despite the corporate-owned media’s obsession with polls, controversy and the horse-race, last night Barack Obama blew Hillary Clinton out of the water and officially ended any realistic chance of her becoming America’s next President. Not since Woodrow Wilson has 14 points meant so much, and by 14 points, I mean the blow-out in North Carolina which was, as recently as Monday, being paraded as Obama’s last stand.
Hillary’s chances for the Presidency are effectively statistically impossible. It’s essentially to a point where Obama could come out and announce he was a hooker-loving, Muslim terrorist or something and Hillary may STILL lose. The sense that the race is over is stronger than ever and even Hillary supporters like George McGovern have announced that he would take his pledged super-delegate status and switch it to Barack Obama. In other words Hillary’s run for the President died on that fateful Tuesday night.
Can she be productive though? Will she go out strong and with dignity, or will she pull a Jerry Brown and look like a rebel rousing spoil sport at her party’s convention? I’m sure she will choose the former. When …
The recent actions of Hillary and husband Bill are about as despicable as despicable gets. They’ve proven, to those who see beyond the political gimmicks and tactics, that they are politicians interested only in there own legacy and care so little for the future of this nation or the American people, that they are willing to burn the village in order to save it. That’s the same village, by the way, that Hillary once said it took to raise a child.
I used to love Bill, that is, in the way that a voter loves a politician (which is one of the lesser forms of love) I’ve never really cared much for Hillary, but that didn’t really matter because she was just the first lady. While surrounded by wimpy Democrats and a wife that had done him more harm than good, Bill stood up to the Republican machine and helped to stop most of their destructive agenda. While he screwed things up royally by getting a blow job, he survived the obvious political desperation of the Republicans and cut the momentum of their movement in half. Hillary, on the other hand, was largely …
