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 Franken Factor

By Wise 1 - 2/20/2009 ()

Franken is going to beat Coleman

Franken won the Senatorial election in 2008, yet Republican strategists have signaled an endless lawsuit to further their losing Repub strategy at any cost. This of course makes sense for the weak and embattled Republican party.

At the height of Bush incompetence, Al Franken was the voice of reason. This nerdy guy may have looked like a wimp compared to the fake ass cattle rustling, urban cowboys of Republican myth-talk radio and yet, he had the balls to stand up to this very machine and tear it down every chance he could. His book “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot…", nailed the tub of lard literally right in the title and assaulted O’Reilly as just another “all talk” Right Wing chicken hawk.

Rush is a fucking idiot

Franken didn’t stop there. After piloting Air America to a shaky, yet successful launch, he left the network for greater goals, namely, the U.S. Senate, representing the great state of Minnesota.

Some called it a longshot, and, perhaps it almost was. Minnesotans were fed up with celebrity leaders, tired of the Jessie Venturas. How could a former Saturday Night Live writer and star gain any …

Editor’s note:
______________
For my political junkies, I apologize, as this article is more of a cultural rant. Which leads me to an important point about the future of SoapBlox.com:

The new Soapblox.com, coming this Spring, will finally realize the news magazine concept conceived originally in the blueprints first drawn before the disastrous Bush reelection. There will be a place for politics, culture and art. Please bare with our progress and enjoy the article below.

Michael Phelps smokes dope, grass, pot, marijuana, bud, chronic, indo, sense

Well, well, the charges have finally been dropped on our beloved fish out of water, Mr. Michael Phelps.

I suspect that Michael Phelps himself would prefer not to be elevated to the Saint-hood status that has been bestowed upon him. I mean. The guy knows he’s a great swimmer, though I doubt that he ever fancied himself a roll model.

Somehow in this country, however, wining gold medals makes you a hero, which makes you a role model to children everywhere. I understand that this guy should not go downtown and buy crack from some gang bangin’ wanabe and start puffin away till his teeth fall out, I’m simply saying that since this guy has won …

 Republican First, American Second

By Wise 1 - 2/12/2009 ()

The GOP is Dead!

The recent withdrawal of New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg from Secretary of Commerce is a clear indication that the Grand Party of Old times is back to its old tricks.

Even after Obama made grand overtures to the Republican establishment, they seem to think that stonewalling the popular President will win them brownie points. Not even the Republicans that combated FDR’s New Deal had the nerve to attempt such a naïve endeavor.

They are clearly lining up to create a wall on which hasn’t been seen since ol’ Stonewall Jackson stood up to the Yankees in the Civil War (which the South lost btw). They simply think that being who they are and ignoring the sane voices of reason from the Center can save them from political wilderness. Yet, they have never seen the amount of political force that the country has handed to the Democrats. They just don’t get that they are on an iceberg slowly drifting off to sea, yelling ever louder, while the world slowly begins to tune them out.

These guys simply do not get it! I firmly believe that this “Stonewall Jackson Strategy” is as antiquated …

 Obama Triumphs Over Ailing GOP

By Wise 1 - 2/11/2009 ()

Republicans in big trouble

The Republicans have gambled their political future on the success of the stimulus package, both in the long term and the immediate future. They thought that unification and the tired, boring tactics of calling the package an earmark ridden, “pork-u-pine” bill could derail the new President’s first major legislative effort. Fortunately for the good of the nation, they have utterly failed to stop the bill and therefore set the tone of the new Obama Administration as one of success.

The GOP rallied around bloated, big-mouth, Rush “the racist” Limbaugh, who urged Republicans to root for Obama’s failure. Easy for a fat, rich guy to say! Doesn’t this just prove that Rush is not looking out for the best interests of America and instead desires political power? The Republicans too, still bitter from their stinging defeat in 2008, decided to stand their ground, resisting Obama’s efforts to reach across party lines and put all their efforts in to defeating the bill and for about a minute, it looked as if they might have won. They claimed that the New Deal failed, complete and utter nonsense, even blamed the Depression on FDR! …
