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.
Yes folks, it’s going to be ugly. Even though the Democrats, honestly, could put a large indianite object, even a large 16” black spring loaded toy of lewd sexual usage, in place of Obama and still win (although that wouldn’t go down with the “Christians” too well).
All signs of honesty point to an Obama blowout. All signs point to McCain being a tired old man with nothing to offer. Things change in politics, and Obama could blow it, although, I wouldn’t count on it. This man is a natural born politician destined to become one of our nation’s greatest leaders, I believe anyway.
You never know in politics. The tired old “maverick” could pull something out that is fresh and new, but not likely. This is a change election and the old, white, career politician has little to offer once the realities of his tired and old, white Republican base become the source of his power. None of his staff are current, their all old time Repubs still reeling from the success of Bush Part II.
Aside from that, McCain looks weak, tired, I almost feel sorry for him. He isn’t up to …
(Before I begin, a quick note. This is a Rated R edition of Soapblox, no kids allowed, must be 17 or accompanied by a parent.
I would curse here regularly if I didn’t have more class. LOL, my momma taught me better. However, since this article contains clips of the late George Carlin, not using the word Fuck seems kind of silly, especially since this rant is one of massive anger. I mean, our #1 American beer company was sold off to a country that puts a picture of a pissing statue on its own brew. So, in the spirit of Mr. Carlin, Fuck it, just this once. Now please proceed, let me tear your ticket and enjoy the show.)
This week has been an awful week for America. On the eve of celebrating our 232nd Anniversary, the time since the 4th of July has been plagued with trouble in the stock market, the near collapse of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, numerous banks on the chopping block, the bankruptcy word thrown around in the same sentence with GM (remember, “what’s good for GM is what’s good for America”) and now, the selling off …
So Iraq calls for an American timetable for withdrawal. They essentially want us gone. American’s overwhelmingly want an end to the war in Iraq, so that means we want to leave. Why are we still there? Why are Bush and McCain REJECTING the demands of a sovereign nation’s government to tell us to get the hell out of their country?
Good Question!
Well the easy answer is exactly what you probably think it is, one word that can be read in every language: money. It’s not just oil, it’s all those no-bid Halliburton contracts, all those private security contracts, all those steel penetrating M855 bullet rounds (recently accused of being ineffective), Poorly armored HumVees, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, defective body armor, supersonic harriers, aka Joint-Strike Fighters, to fight a guerilla war / occupation, and more military gear that soaks up 50% of America’s yearly Discretionary Budget. Don’t forget as well, all the long term construction contracts that we will surely get if we maintain a longer term presence in Iraq. Plus permanent Military Bases means KBR contracts for food services, base repair and of course, all the …
Soapblox has turned 3. After a 9 month incubation period, we launched Soapblox on July 4th as I claim, because it is a very appropriate time for a 21st Century Pamphleteering Operation devoted to the progress of it’s beloved nation to begin, however, also, it was to ensure that I could remember the anniversary date, as I am terrible about remembering dates, and, let’s face it, Soapblox after 3 years still does not have a full staff of investigative reporters, nor does it have a fully catered office or a girl to get us coffee.
This operation is done the way it should be, guerrilla and under the radar. Which is probably for the best, as some of the things said on this site could land a one way ticket to Bush’s Dungeons of Doom, if broadcast on a wide scale. Which it is not. We are comparable to the truth-crazed pamphleteer on the streets before the Revolution. We simply want a better life, we simply want progress to occur, we simply want the nation to prosper and grow, to sustain it’s power and stability without damaging its own interests, which are …
