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 Downward Spiral of the GOP

By Wise 1 - 10/16/2009 ()

tea bag movement splitting the GOP

Not since the ascension of Barrack Obama to the Presidency has the Republican brand faced such a crisis. As the town hall shouting matches grow ever more distant and “Obama’s Waterloo” strategy continues to recede into oblivion, the right-wing party has become the ‘party of no’, no cooperation, no ideas and no hope.

It seems that everywhere you turn the news is grim, Republican identity has continued to slide. Less Americans consider themselves Republicans than any time in recent history, down to around 20%. The Birther movement has not only stalled, their foreign born leader, Orly Taitz, got smacked down in Federal Court. Judge Clay Land, appointed by George W. Bush I might add, hit Ms. Taitz with a $20,000 sanction and ruled that her conduct “boarders on delusional” and “demonstrates bad faith.” Even the darling of the Radical Right, Sarah Palin, has watched her approval ratings dip (40%) and her disapproval ratings soar to (53%). It seems all their numbers are down, everywhere you look and while they take glee in Obama’s ratings slip a bit, they are facing levels of low that make Dick …

 Betsy McCaughey Gets Smacked Down Again

By Wise 1 - 10/7/2009 ()

betsy mccaughey is a moron
Remember Betsy McCaughey?

She’s the woman who came up with the death panel argument that Sarah Palin made famous. It looked like she had some traction too, until she got smacked down by Jon Stewart last month. The results forced her to resign from her job (indirectly or directly). You can see all that here.

Yet she’s back. Getting smacked down once more, this time by MSNBC Morning Meeting host Dylan Ratigan and Congressman Anthony Weiner.

The Conservative argument for health insurance is generally emotion based without any facts. Yet Betsy is a rare exception, she deliberately uses her facts to deceive. Ratigan doesn’t let her get away with it, however, and calls her out. McCaughey’s argument degenerates into name calling and blaming Ratigan for his biased moderation.

“This may go down in history as one of the most brow-beating interviews in television history.” declared McCaughey.

“I hope it does” remarked Ratigan.

Biased or not, it is most satisfying to see her get the smack down she deserves. As Jon Stewart declared, her interpretation of Obama’s health reforms is “dangerous” and “misleading".

/>Weiner really drills her too. He get’s her to admit …

 Conservative Group Changes Bible Politically - No More Liberalism

By Wise 1 - ()

Jesus was a Liberal
Have you ever heard a Bible-thumper tell you that the Bible was written by God and only God? Did they try and tell you that you must take the Bible literally and any attempts to do so otherwise was a violation of God’s law? Did they tell you that the Bible has not changed since its conception? Well get ready to watch these theories thrown out the window.

A Conservative group called Conservapedia (because we all know how knowledge has a Liberal Bias), has founded the Conservative Bible Project. Which is attempting to eliminate the Liberal passages in the Bible to better suit the Conservative political agenda. It is a Wikipedia-like project with a clear objective: to eliminate the possibilities of Jesus’ clear Liberal bias.

Imagine, that! Changing the Bible outright because the original author was too Liberal. Wait, doesn’t that mean God?

Steven Colbert has asked his viewers to add him to the re-authored Bible:

 Boehner’s Social Trouble: Claims He ‘Hasn’t Met Anyone Who Supports Public Option’

By Wise 1 - 10/1/2009 ()

boehner being a jack ass as usual

Republican Minority Leader, John Boehner (R-Ohio) must be having some serious social problems these days. With such a lovely mug and wonderful scowl, who would have guessed? He declared today that he hasn’t met one “Real American” who supports the Public Option. As political writer Glenn Thrush noted, he said it with a “semi-straight face".

Even Republican leaning polls (which effectively ask “Do you still support a Public Option if it radically alters your health experience, which is so laughably deceitful but anyway) still claim at least 43% in favor of a Public Option. So in order to believe that he has not met a single one we must assume that he’s been hanging around with nothing but tea-baggers lately. LOL

“I’m still trying to find the first American to talk to who’s in favor of the public option” claims the Boehner.

When you are in a position to miss as much as %65 of the country, it is clear that you’ve fallen in with the wrong crowd.

So I decided to correct this little problem and introduce myself to the ill-informed Republican Leader. You can warm his cold lonely heart …
