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.

 Socialized Medicine is Smart Medicine

reagan speaks out against socialized medicine

I stumbled across this blog that lays out a fantastic argument in favor of Obama’s healthcare plan. It discusses the numbers and lays forth a rather important point: that the cost of Obama’s “socialized medicine” costs the same as 4 months of the Iraq War.

If Obama’s plan, which relies heavily on the private sector is socialized medicine, then the Iraq War is socialized war, which is far less productive. The amounts of money procured by companies like Blackwater (which was started by a very wealthy war nut) and Halliburton, serve very few people and ultimately redistribute our hard earned tax dollars to a class of rich war hawks.

It’s not just a Democratic landslide, it’s a political realignment so great, the Republican pundits are having to claim it’s not a major strategic shift in America.

We Progressives know better. Republicans are the masters of deceit and spin. They defeat the truth by changing the story, never acknowledging a loss, that is, until it’s unavoidable. Then they begin tearing it down with talking points. This time, they are claiming the anti-gay marriage initiatives are a message to Obama that his mandate is strictly economic. Well, you Republicans just suffered …
