- When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

"A STRANGE BREW OF TEA"
Tea bag candidates are a little less than desirable? No way! Five days till mid-term voting and we just realize that O'Donnell, Angel and clan have more than a few screws loose.
Republicans are ready to seize the country readers.
Today thinkprogess.org discloses How The ‘US’ Chamber Uses Its Money To Pay Pundits, Manipulate Google, And Create Fake News Outlets. http://thinkprogress.org/
If the above doesn't make you want to regurgitate, learning that Foreign-Funded U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Advocates For Weakening Law Against Bribing Foreign Governments should defiantly turn the ole bread basket.
And if the above Molotov cocktail isn't dangerous enough, right wing REPORT: "111 Republican Incumbents And Candidates Want To Eliminate The Department Of Education". Yes that's 111 Republicans stand firmly on dousing the Department. http://thinkprogress.org/
The GOP in their giddiness for rule of house and senate tell B-ROCK "There Will Be ‘No Compromise’"!
The below video depicts a lost Christine O'Donnell. To sue or not to sue, if this doesn't solidify a loss for her then God have mercy on us all! Maybe Christine's tea is a bit too strong?
The next series of videos are of Sharon Angle. They really need very little verbiage from us here at NFTOS. They speak for themselves. Apparently the more cretinus you are, the better candidate you are for the new republican. We at NFTOS find it hard to fathom that we have to repudiate the psychosis of the "strange brew". Apparently this is appealing to the right. To coin a Al Davis quote, "just win baby".
Angle in backstroke mode.
"Can we have media report my way please"!
And finally, we just can't make this up. "STRANGE BREW"......Indeed!
Readers, we here at NFTOS are about global and domestic security, healthy communities, media accountability, and social and economic justice. We are against public corruption, corporate malfeasance, incompetent establishments, and radical right wing agendas.
Please get out and vote, for not doing so jeopardizes what we accomplished so far. Going backwards is not an acceptable choice with regards to our country. Let your voice be heard loud and clear, and tell the baggers HELL NO!

MAJORITY OF TEA BAGS
It's " mainstream" Vs "extreme."
John Boehner and Eric Cantor are already measuring the drapes and plotting tea bag extremism to revamp America to circa 1773. The possibility that tea bags could control both house and senate is never more real than six days prior to the mid-term voting process.
The newest version of axis of idiots will push for more than $100 billion in spending cuts, tax reductions and attempts to undo key parts of President Barack Obama's health care and financial regulation laws.
CBS News Poll analysis shows that only 29 % of Americans support the tea party movement.
The name "Tea Party" echoes the Boston Tea Party, a 1773 incident when colonists destroyed British tea rather than paying what they considered a tax that violated their right to "No Taxation without Representation, to which this is where the new GOP would want our country to be 1773.
Currently 86% of tea baggers think climate change is a hoax. Tea partiers want to repeal the health care law, but two thirds of Americans either like or want it to go further. 59% of Americans support gay marriage and civil unions. Tea partiers support traditional gender roles where men are in charge like Glenn Beck, and women are soft and emotionally fragile with spooky mood swings like Glenn Beck.” Six in ten Americans think illegal Mexicans should have a path to citizenship and be allowed to stay here, and the other four in ten are illegal Mexicans.”
If you live in key states where the extremist want to rule, it's imperative upon you to look deeply at these candidates. Sharon Angle, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ken Buck, Keith Rothfus, Christine O'Donnell are political idiots that want to repeal every constitution that exists.
The list or host of "know nothings' running for office is astounding. What does it say readers when candidates run and hide from queries addressed to them? What are they hiding?
What happens when hate voting puts these far out extremist into running our country?
Who is responsible when Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell are in these seats ? Can we really be this mad at our country to vote these unabashed radical extremist into office?
Before you vote, research your choices. The outcome of not doing so will jeopardize our Country.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann breaks down a tea bag society.
Can we really afford to have politicians with such radical outlandish views making policy for us?
If nothing else, the tea bag movement is a flaky dogma producing machine. Aided and abetted by their echo chamber at Fox News, members of the raging right will gather at so-called Tea Parties around the country to vote for the misguided and misinformed.
To be sure, what theoretically began as a protest against profligate government has morphed into a Rorschach Test of right-wing political grievance.
Glenn Beck's astro-turf acolytes decry saboteurs and "communists," evolution and "brainwashing machines." The tea baggers' strange brew of Birthers and Birchers proclaim Barack Obama foreign-born while issuing calls to "burn the books." In the end, the far-right foaming at the mouth is enough for mainstream America to see that all four legs are not under the table.
These furious and frothing tea bagger apparently believes King George III is still oppressing his colonial subjects under the yoke of the Townshend and Tea Acts.
Fiscal conservative Andrew Sullivan is quoted as saying:
And if their misunderstanding of the Boston Tea Party wasn't bad enough, their choice of tea bagging as metaphor is more unfortunate still.

AT ALL COST........"REVOLT"
This very video is the anger that incites radical extremist tea baggers to attack, and this very video is a theme from Beck, to which he claims he is a peaceful pacifist.
Videos from the Beckster, and Dana Loesch's language in blogs, and her failure to repudiate and vituperate the beating at the "aqua Buddha" event is dangerous territory to be treading in.
Fox news and Beck are never gun shy with their rhetoric on pitting Americans against Americans, telling their audience that our country is under attack by a demonic Nazi-like regime seeking to destroy all that is great about America all while insisting it's up to his viewers to resist and revolt.
And revolt he did, Gregory Giusti was arrested for repeatedly threatening House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- including threatening to destroy her home -- because he was upset over health care reform. The man's mother told a local news station he listens to those with "really radical ideas," adding, "I'd say Glenn Beck of Fox News is whom Gregory was watching."
Is America's next Civil War encased in radical tea bags Vs the Democrats and the "Democratic Society".
America is never more angrier with politics than now. Palin, Beck, and Loesch only aggravate an already exasperated situation.
I doubt our forefathers the real "we the people" would be proud of what transpires in today's politics, and NFTOS doubts that Palin, Beck, and Loesch have the intelligence quota to understand that their lack of education is not and excuse for their bone thug politics, and it will not be tolerated any longer.
It's time to call these baggers out and expose them for what they really are.
Today it's just a wing nut war, tomorrow it's full blown violence. Shots are fired by the right that are strafing the common sense center of "grass roots" America.
As the right becomes more polarized, they pour more gasoline on the embers of political anger. And these are the very actions that should make these axis of idiots accountable for their "freedom of speech".
NFTOS
Dana Loesch Does not vituperate Beating..."UNLESS"
Dana Loesch suggests that Rand Paul anti-activist deserved beating, stating that she attacked or "lunged" at Paul, and until democrats apologize for two tea bags beaten months earlier that she could careless about "pretense"!
When is it ever OK for a man to premeditate too pummel a women, throw her down on the ground and then stomp her head with his foot?
When is it OK to call in bomb threats because a CEO fired a racist? (AKA Juan Williams).
In LEXINGTON, Ky. – Supporters of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul wrestled a woman to the ground and one stepped on her head after she tried to confront the candidate in Kentucky.
Today, the Washington Post reports NPR received a bomb threat today, and while the threat didn’t specifically cite the Williams saga, NPR officials said the “tone” suggested it was involved:
NPR received a bomb threat Monday, five days after its decision to fire news analyst Juan Williams sparked a hugely negative reaction from the extremist tea baggers.
This is the very anger that lead Tea Bagger Dana Loesch incites.(only when politcal anger hits the right is it wrong).
Ms. Loesch (We use the term Ms. loosely) goes on her blog today and insinuates that this action is "eye for and eye" because fellow baggers Kenneth Gladney and Kelly Owens where attacked months earlier. Ms. Loesch goes on to explain "I’ve seen the tape of Valle vs. the Paul supporters. She was described as having “lunged” and “stalked” Paul, which, considering the history of leftist violence and threats (I know from experience: I’m preparing to go to court over threats made against my children, not to mention the death threat I received this week), made the debate attendees nervous."
Loesch in her demented FUBAR psyche tells readers how she knows Ms. Valle intent was to "go with the intent to start trouble".
Clearly, Dana Loesch is a idiot of profound epic proportions. She is titled "journalist", "political SME", and yet she barely holds a high school education!
NFTOS titles Loesch as a "muckraker", only difference is, she often applies half truths, biased skewed data, and literally knows little if anything about politics, policies, and or journalism! (http://bigjournalism.com/dloesch/2010/10/26/media-canonizes-paid-soros-activist-who-started-violence-at-rand-paul-debate/).
Glenn Beck has the "know nothings" drooling and seething on the ideology that two men run and manipulate America. (AKA George Soros and Drummond Pike.) Loesch is the epitome of a Beck and call girl zombie, and is baited by the repeated Beckster theme to tie anything to Pike and Soros, and hence the conclusion that "Ms. Valle is part of the Marxist, Communist regime set out to overtake America and attack half witted hillbillies running for office in Kentucky."
{Intent - Intent in law is the planning and desire to perform an act, to fail to do so (i.e. an omission) or to achieve a state of affairs in psychological view it may mean a different thing. In criminal law, for a given actus reus ("guilty act"), the required element to prove intent consists of showing mens rea (mental state, "guilty mind"). The requirements for the proof of intent in tort law are not simple. Knowledge of the repercussions of the act is often not necessary. It is sometimes only a matter of showing that there was desire to perform an act.}
Now we never expect Dana Loesch to understand law, but to say Dana that you know Ms. Valle's intent at the Rand Paul "Aqua Buhda" debate was to " incite a riot" is utter fecal matter and plain asinine. But this is the Loesch that we have come to know and love.
NFTOS has said this a million times if not once. And her it is again;
{Our researchers came up with this quote from a left wing friend of Loesch's (which honesty astonishes the bloggers of NFTOS that she has Democratic pals). Quoting photographer Steven Treusdell who has no problem calling out dear Dana... "You have the character of a hate radio DJ down pat," Truesdell wrote in an e-mail to Loesch in October. "Your continued rise in this arena will be fun to watch. You have the aggression, the looks, and the vocab to go far in 'Hate broadcasting' and right wing idolatry. Do be careful though, one day the outrage you urge in others will turn to violence and innocent people will die in your name. This is assured. That is a lot to live with, even when one has Religious righteousness and a fervent belief in their absolute rightness. I hope when that day comes you can live with the results of what you have sown."}
Now that Dana has gained nation attention with her buffoonery, she is now reaping the very outcome that Truesdell predicted some months ago. The anger she emits from a bull horn on courthouse steps, to the Larry King like bad breath she exudes when speaking into microphones, Loesch has yet to realize that anger, hate, politics has it's ramifications. The only thing Treusdell missed in his email or failed to mention and predict was that Dana might get some anger thrown at her as well while "inciting" the masses.
We at NFTOS despise any political violence, and we do not support the threats to Loesch, but in the same breath we are not surprised that some of her anger politics has now backfired and is now upon her. Freedom of speech has to be carefully monitored in politics circa 2010. Especially for the laymen like Loesch.
For Loesch to not admonish, denounce, repudiate, disassociate, condemn, rebuke, vituperate, any and all violence speaks volumes of the character that is Loesch.
To say
"If she didn’t want to be restrained she shouldn’t have gone with the intent to start trouble, but congressional members also need to provide their own security. Sure, the man shouldn’t have placed his foot on her head." Is a dominant male throwing a woman to the ground and foot placed on her head defined as "restrained".
Where does running for office say don't approach me or I'll "Black Water" body guard your ass?
Whether it's Kenneth Gladney, Kelly Owens or Ms. Valle, violence in politics is wrong Ms. Loesch! Period! Loesch's parting cutting quote to her readers goes like this, " So, forgive me if I vomit due to the pretense of devoted justice these same liberals now display I’m waiting for all the people who mocked and slurred Gladney and Owens to apologize and condemn their beatings. When the left can do that, then we can enter into a realm of legitimate, bi-partisan discussion. Until then, the left and government media can spare me the pretense."
If Ms. Loesch could only put two coherent sentences together on her "own", and not regurgitate something that has already been said by right wing extremism radio, blog and or Faux news, then and only then could anyone have that "legitimate, bi-partisan discussion" with her. Until Loesch gains a degree in something other than BS, NFTOS will have to repudiate the writings and mentality of the moronic, tomfool, nincompoop, muttonhead, ignoramus, cretin, imbecile, named Dana Loesch.
Footnote: Rand Paul dismissed the woman beater stating that he condones such actions.(Maybe Loesch should take lessons from her fellow hillbilly tea bagger)
A parting quote today from Michelle Bachmann (2x republican house seat running for Minnesota seat) said today on Glenn Beck. Quoting Bachmann " I plan to host classes on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for fellow House members when I return to Washington so that freshman tea baggers know how to vote". WTF!

TO LEAK OR NOT TO LEAK
This past Friday (10/22/10) an international organization released the largest United States classified military leak in history. The 391,832 reports (Titled 'The Iraq War Logs'), document the war and occupation in Iraq, from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2009.
The culprit of all this is Bradley Manning. Private First Class Bradley E. Manning (born 1987) is a United States Army soldier who has been arrested and charged with the unauthorized use and disclosure of U.S. classified information.
Manning was an intelligence analyst assigned to a support battalion with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division at Contingency Operating Station Hammer, Iraq. Agents of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command arrested Manning based on information received from federal authorities provided by an American journalist informant, Adrian Lamo, in whom Manning had previously confided. Lamo stated he came forward as an act of conscience. Lamo said that Manning claimed, via instant messaging, to be the person who had leaked the "Collateral Murder" video of the July 12, 2007, Baghdad airstrike, in addition to a video of the Granai airstrike and around 260,000 diplomatic cables, to the whistleblower website Wikileaks. The media has described Manning as a whistleblower.
On July 5, 2010, Manning was charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice with violations of Article 92 and Article 134, for "transferring classified data onto his personal computer and adding unauthorized software to a classified computer system," and "communicating, transmitting and delivering national defense information to an unauthorized source". The maximum possible prison sentence for the charges is 52 years. An Army spokesman stated that an Article 32 hearing, similar to a grand jury, would be held to determine whether or not there was enough evidence to proceed to a court-martial.
Having held a Top Secret SCI clearance for 25 years I am astounded how a "American" could betray his/her country in such a deviant way.
Now that the documents are out, all kind of synopsis and hypotheses will emit on how the US military has run amok. There is a reason that this database was titled "top secret". Not for civilian consumption, period!
Wikileaks claims this is "history" that the world needs to know.
NFTOS can tell you that these documents are going to portray a "lying" Bush Administration.
Having worked for the Bush Administration I can tell you that these documents will not paint a rosy picture of "Axis of idiots".
While we deplore Manning and Wikileaks disgusting acts of treason and disregard for "secret' information, lets now show the country the true colors of George Bush and his fellow pathological liars for what they are. Traitors and liars!
We already knew that U.S. and other coalition forces were inflicting civilian casualties that had the effect of enraging local villagers and often driving them into the enemy camp. We already had plenty of evidence that elements within Pakistan's intelligence services were giving support and guidance to the Taliban insurgency inside Afghanistan, even though Pakistan is supposed to be our ally in the fight against the terrorists.
Overall, though, the most shocking thing about the "War Diary" may be that it fails to shock. The documents illustrate how futile -- and tragically wasteful -- it is to send more young men and women to fight and die in Afghanistan. They also show that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld would stop at nothing to bullshit America. A pattern as we have now come to learn was pathological! Did we ever get truth from George Bush?
Having been in the theater of war for over 25 years I have learned that war is ugly, very, very ugly! I have also learned that these documents are titled "top secret" for a reason.
This is not a left or right issue, this is a United States issue. These documents now disclosed make our country a lot more vulnerable. I doubt Manning and Wikileaks understand that, or maybe they do. Either way if found guilty Manning should be immediately executed for treason upon the guilty verdict.
As for Julian Assange, spokesperson and editor-in-chief for Wikileaks, (also known as Australia's most famous ethical computer hacker.") NFTOS can only hope that this "dark
demented vermin gets 'vetted" like his released documents, and then lets see what falls out of the closet of this rapist."
Like Cheney and Bush outing Valerie Plame, Manning and Assange just weakened a country!

"Majority Leader" John Boehner
With 8 days left til mid-term voting, Americans have never been closer to having a "tool" be the house majority leader than now. Ok Maybe, the "eye of Newt" Gingrich was worse.
Boehner(not pronounced BONER but BAy-ner) spent most of his political career railing against corruption and scandal in Washington, though—ironically—it was a series of Washington scandals that directly resulted in the few professional successes Boehner's had, including his Congressional seat and House Majority leadership.
In May 2009, weekly tracking polls indicated that Boehner remained the most unpopular politician in the United States.
1990, Boehner took advantage of the Republican politician disaster-scandal trifecta that befell Ohio Congressman Buz Lukens who was caught engaging the services of a prostitute. An African-American one. A sixteen-year-old one. For 40 dollars. (Though nearly everyone has denounced Luken, many do admire his frugality.)
Helping to lift the people of Ohio and their respected Senate seat being involved with an underage sex scandal, Boehner entered the United States House of Representatives where he would later be involved with a an underage sex scandal.
15 years afterward, Boehner would learn about creepy emails Congressman Mark Foley sent to a young page, but not tell anybody about it until months later. Except then-Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, which he's "99% sure" he did. Overall, most people remember pretty clearly whether or not they helped cover up for a sleazy old man harassing children, but John Boehner is not most people.
In his first year, Boehner and six other congressmen formed the gang of seven. Among the major achievements of the gang of seven are the public exposure of politicians who'd overdrawn their bank accounts and cracking down on the free ride that congressmen were getting at that national travesty: the congressional barbershop. Not so much a "gang" as, say, a coterie, this "gang" was just like the Crips if instead of robbing and murdering people, they solely went around committing municipal code violations.
Boehner was one of the chief authors of the Contract with America, a document that many citizens remember existing though no one can actually recall the contents of it. This may be attributable to the Contracts ardent support for a series of initiatives that many Americans agreed with in principal but realistically, couldn't give a shit about.
In 2006, Beohner again displayed his aptitude for taking advantage of other people's criminal indictments when he succeeded Tom Delay as the House then-Majority leader.
Electrifying conservatives with his stern pro-business, anti-corruption, small government positions, Boehner would quickly disappoint most of his supporters by approving $9.8 trillion dollars in President Bush's budgets. While most lawmakers are unable to follow through on every promise they make, it is uncommon for a politician to do the complete inverse of every promise they made.
"Thankfully," following the 2008 Presidential election, Boehner returned to his original stance against major government spending once it became politically convenient. While it's difficult to argue that he has displayed consistency in his Republican "beliefs," there is one position he has been able to stringently adhere to: being opposed to whatever the overwhelming public opinion supports at the time.
Connections to lobbyists
In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies. Boehner eventually led the effort to change House rules and prohibit campaign contributions from being distributed on the House floor.
A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "tightly linked" to lobbyists.
With no immediate solution to the current policies and issues at hand, it remains to be seen if Boehner will remain firm, rigid, and inflexible in his positions or whether the potential success of him becoming the house majority leader will cause him to shrink away limp, deflated, and flaccid.
John Boehner, congressman extraordinaire, or Dante's Inferno leader with a great tan....

"FREEDOM of SPEECH
"Freedom of Speech" - { Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship or limitation, or both. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes used to indicate not only freedom of verbal speech but any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, such as on "hate speech".
{The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR recognizes the right to freedom of speech as "the right to hold opinions without interference. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression."}
We at NFTOS would like to get too some real politics, but we feel we have to address the whiny Glenn Beck yet again. Today Beck feeling the heat of the potential loss of 32 million a year is fighting mad. His anger is never more prevalent than today and of late. His enemy is just as mad and fighting back with a vengeance, and unfortunately for the Beckster, it would appear that Soros and Pike are hell bent on wheels to submerge the Beckistan forever.
Beck's theme today was "Freedom of Speech". We at NFTOS are all for it. BUT, understand that this right comes with a plethora of variables! Freedom of speech in the hands of some is as dangerous as a human calling fire in a theater, and a terrorist who has hijacked a flying projectile who's intent is to destroy buildings in America.
With this freedom comes a HUGE caveat, and that caveat is when you speak with derogatory comments, inciting verbiage, and personal attacks, comes anger and backlash.
Regurgitation from last night:
Beck has even compared our government to vampires while instructing his viewers to "drive a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers" and pretended to poison Speaker Pelosi on television. A few months later, Gregory Giusti was arrested for repeatedly threatening House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- including threatening to destroy her home -- because he was upset over health care reform. The man's mother told a local news station he listens to those with "really radical ideas," adding, "I'd say Fox News or all of those that are really radical."
Yet Beck claimed emphatically today that he is a man of peace. But yet every other sentence spewed from his vocal chords are intended to incite and belittle the left.
"The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers".
For every action there is a reaction. When you repeatedly berate, verbally bash, and mock literally half of your country. (307 million reside in America and in 2008 69 million voted Democrat and 59 million voted republican). It doesn't take Einstein too figure that when you demean 69 million Americans daily that you may just get under the skin of a few.
Beck was complaining (surprise) about "objective reporting" . Yet the very institution that provides him millions struggles with this very concept. Same with "Big Journalism". They host a myriad of bloggers, and yet nary one of these Neanderthals can give you full and concise factual information on their blogs, (that is when they are not copy and pasting every biased word encased into cyberspace via a sister site to Breitbart and company.){sidebar.... Andy blurbs today that he will not interview with NPR until they retract and rehire Juan Williams, whom Fox signed multi year contract immediately after receiving his pink slip from NPR. NFTOS wants to know where is the down turn when the buffoon Breitbart doesn't appear on your show?}
Big Journalism falls into this very category with freedom of speech. Speak your BS, but ensure you know that when you do that you "are responsible for such abuses".
Daily Beck calls me and my party Fascist, Nazis, Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Evil, and Racist. Beck is the best at "baiting" those on the left. And now that he has hooked his bait, and has gained our attention with his "freedom of speech", leaves the bumbling Beckistan a little less than uneasy and ever more angrier.
It's evident from the last video below that "Freedom of Speech" also means blatant misuse of journalistic integrity. Had not John Stewart caught Faux News with the "stretching of the truth" those whom religiously follow Faux would think everything is all status quo. It is! Glenn Beck is the master at manipulating history to suit has "black board" schematics into the "evil empire" that is George Soros.
Conspiracy theory is the backbone of Faux News. NFTOS wonders why Jesse "the body" Ventura is not on the "contributor" list of Faux News. He would certainly be the missing cog, or puzzle piece to the lunacy that is Murdoch TV.
Beck speaking on social justice says "any church promoting "social justice" or "economic justice" merely was using code words for Nazism and communism."
"I beg you look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church Web site," he said. "If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. ... Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes Beck states. All this from a guy whom worships the cult religion titled Mormonism, and its founder Joe Smith Jr.
{ Social justice generally refers to the idea of creating an egalitarian society or institution that is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, that understands and values human rights, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being. Social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality and involves a greater degree of economic egalitarianism through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution. These policies aim to achieve what developmental economists refer to as more equality of opportunity than may currently exist in some societies, and to manufacture equality of outcome in cases where incidental inequalities appear in a procedurally just system.}

Beck in PHD like fashion will dissect the "Fabian Window" {Stained Glass picture above} with surgeon like hands, and turn his ideology of this history into the demonic world he claims we are now turning into, this very "freedom of speech" is dangerous at best. {the above link is a transcript from the pulpit of Beck on the Fabian Window Theory"}. If Beck had the following he claims, then the masses would be running hysterically to their nearest fallout shelter after hearing these world ending apocalyptic events.
Freedom of speech - is a beautiful thing and in the right hands can inspire and encourage new thinking. In the wrong hands it can breed bigotry and hatred. But with freedom comes – or should come – responsibility. We all enjoy the right to say or write what we want, and long may it continue. Our concern is there are those who deliberately abuse or distort the right in order to score cheap points against those with a different belief. All this does is cheapen the freedom we have and support those who wish to restrict it.
The above two Beckistan examples are the "caveat" we referred to earlier.
Keep your freedom's tea bagger, but understand like that of the reverend whom protests soldiers funerals, that your speech (garbage) is viewed as just that...........
"We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never heard a real American talk in that manner." Frank Hague

"Whats Good For The Goose.........
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
If you have been watching Beck of late, you have seen him attack hard at his number one nemesis (George Soros) and you would know Glenn has been treading very closely with defamation of character on this topic at best. Beck antagonizes Soros at every corner and he then wonders why today Soros sent a "Media Hit" on Beck. Beck seems to be oblivious of his wrongs and seems electrically charged that he has Soro's attention, all the while playing the "who me" card. Beck's bulb shines bright that he has the attention of the worlds richest man, and now NFTOS is positive that this is a war that Glenn loses badly, very, very badly. Often when you corner your enemy, they strike back. Soros and Pike have much power, certainly more than Fox, USCC, and Beck combined. But like Beck said, if he is out, another angry, anti America, anti establishment moron takes his warm seat.
{George Soros is a Hungarian-American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and social activist. He became known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crises. Soros had correctly anticipated that the British government would have to devalue the pound.}
Soros and Tides Foundation CEO Drummond Pike have called all troops to the front lines to ensure that Fox News and Glenn Beck get there due. Pike and Soros are calling on Fox advertisers too boycott the bullies of the right.
{Pike is an American philanthropist, activist and social entrepreneur. He founded Tides Foundation in 1976 and is the current CEO of Tides. Pike helped pioneer the advent of donor advised funds in philanthropy}
Both sides claim that each is a extremist and that each is the master at inciting anger and hate into America.
To date Soros and Company have has caused Glenn Beck's Fox News show to lose over 100sponsors. Despite the campaign's success, Fox insists it has had no impact on the channel's profitability because the overall demand for advertisements on Fox has remained stable. Companies are still paying to advertise on Fox News, but their ads are simply moved to a different time of day.
A small list of current advertisers of Fox are:
JP Morgan Chase & Co
GEICO (Berkshire Hathaway)
Zurich Financial
Chrysler
Direct Holdings Americas, Inc (Time-Life)
GlaxoSmithKline
AstraZeneca
Lilly Corporate Center
BP
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc
You can often watch Beck articulate a "Shaggy" voice (From scooby doo cartoon) calling Soros a "Spookey Guy". Since 2009 Beck has been on this conspiracy kick to where Soros and Pike are out to take over America and turn it into a communist Nazi regime.
Beck apparently is shocked to see that Soros and company have applied the cross hairs to the left upper quadrant of his chest. Beck today on TV challenges Soros telling him "to come on".
Fox news and Beck are not gun shy with their rhetoric on pitting Americans against Americans, telling their audience that our country is under attack by a demonic Nazi-like regime seeking to destroy all that is great about America all while insisting it's up to his viewers to resist and revolt. Beck has even warned his audience that "these are the most dangerous two years of our republic. Because in the end, in revolutions, the real dangerous killers show up." Beck has even compared our government to vampires while instructing his viewers to "drive a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers" and pretended to poison Speaker Pelosi on television. A few months later, Gregory Giusti was arrested for repeatedly threatening House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- including threatening to destroy her home -- because he was upset over health care reform. The man's mother told a local news station he listens to those with "really radical ideas," adding, "I'd say Fox News or all of those that are really radical."
And now Beck is crying foul because the shoe is on the other foot. Glenn is now the one with the bounty upon him. And that bounty is to see Beck out of mainstream media outlets! Period!
NFTOS does not support violence in any political arena, but Glenn Beck and Fox should be held accountable for the hate and anger they invoke while Beck is on the air. We have often complained to Dana Loesch about her anger and hate and what recourse applies when you support and advocate scare and hate tactics into already seething and angered Americans. Enclosed is an earlier blog blurb regarding the email to Loesch;
{Our researchers came up with this quote from a left wing friend of Loesch's (which honesty astonishes the bloggers of NFTOS that she has Democratic pals). Quoting photographer Steven Treusdell who has no problem calling out dear Dana... "You have the character of a hate radio DJ down pat," Truesdell wrote in an e-mail to Loesch in October. "Your continued rise in this arena will be fun to watch. You have the aggression, the looks, and the vocab to go far in 'Hate broadcasting' and right wing idolatry. Do be careful though, one day the outrage you urge in others will turn to violence and innocent people will die in your name. This is assured. That is a lot to live with, even when one has Religious righteousness and a fervent belief in their absolute rightness. I hope when that day comes you can live with the results of what you have sown."}This applies to all whom impose this methodology!
It's time that the left stood up to these bullies. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." While it's late, It's great too see these bullies being pushed back. It's time to stop the tea bagger from running amok! The Democrats finally "grew a pair" when they got health care reform passed, and it's not time to stop now. While a few Dems may have lost a few points in the polls, we need to remain the course.
Do not listen to the Beck's of the world, and watching the Republicans lose health care was like watching a whiny bitch, and when they lose they squeal like a pig! Quoting Bill Mahr "The Democrats need to push their agenda while their boot is on the neck of the greedy poisonous old reptile"! Who cares if Cap and Trade (Also called Emissions Trading and it is a market-based approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants.) is not popular, health care certainly wasn't, so don't stop now! Do the business you where voted to do!
NFTOS asks it's reader to boycott Fox News and Glenn Beck as Well.
One of the really sick ironies of life in the United States right now is that those who have the most in common with the most notorious moral monsters of this century, the Nazis and their fascist fellow-travelers--namely, the various far right hate-mongers and serial liars on TV and Hate radio, AKA Michael Savage, Dana Loesch, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck--regularly accuse Democrats of being fascists and Nazis. And like the good fascist he is, Beck is also good at inciting mindless violence against his political enemies. So, as we and other's suggest, it's time for advertisers and viewers to boycott Fox, and for consumers to boycott any company that advertises on Fox, not just the GB BS hour.
Finally, its very obvious that a tea bagger cannot think for themselves, and they often rely upon Fox News and Glenn to do this mundane task for them.
We at NFTOS believe that "The Democrats in America where put on earth to do one thing, and that is to drag the ignorant hillbilly half of this country into the next century".........which in the Republican case is the 19th century"

Separation of Church State are in the First Amendment?
******The enclosed videos contain adult content and should be viewed by individuals older than 18 years of age********
The lunacy and hysteria among the far-right is at a fever pitch just 14 days prior to voting in the mid-terms.
And yet today Christine O'Donnell in a radio debate completely showed us why she is NOT senate material by arguing (with smug face) several times with opponent Chris Coons with regards to the Constitutions first amendment. WTF does this say about the "TEA BAG" movement when this is your hand picked tool. She was the laughing stock of the debate and NFTOS almost felt sorry for this lunatic "know nothing"! How can you claim that you are "going to base all your decisions on the Constitution" when you clearly don't know anything about the document!
NFTOS is flabbergasted that this buffoon is even on the ballet for consideration to the senate, but this should be the dagger that solidifies her demise...bye - bye Chrissy! We would love to hear the tea baggers refudiate (Sarah Palin's word not ours. Yes its actually repudiate) or defend O'Donnell's understanding of the Constitution. Where is Dana Loesch now? Karl Rove had it right by trying to distance himself from the less than intelligent O'Donnell. Maybe if O'Donnell attended all the Universities she claims to have been too she would have known what verbiage was included in the first amendment.
While NFTOS is not a big proponent of Bill Mahr, he certainly depicts perfectly the axis of idiots to a tea in these videos (pun intended). When is enough, enough? We does the moderate Republican 'man up" and take back their party? Extremism in this party has gone to far.
Within the last 48 hours we have a multitude of lunatic actions from the tea bagger society.
a. Joe Miller's band of thugs arrest a blogger for questioning Joe on policy.
b. Sharon Angel mocks both Mexicans and Asians in school meeting.
c. "Aqua Buddha" Rand Paul shows his true colors in debate.
A famous quote that hangs on West Media's main conference room states "never miss an opportunity to shut up". Take heed tea bagger, as this eloquent quote could get you the majority vote someday.
Certainly Glenn Beck is no help to the cause. As of late Glenn has found himself in "Goldgate" which Beck haters have have cried foul over his relationship with Goldline International, a precious metals vendor that features the TV and radio host's endorsement prominently on their website. Critics charge that Beck is guilty of misleading his audience by often advising them to purchase gold in advance of the potential collapse of the value of the dollar on the world currency market, without disclosing that he is in fact a "paid spokesman" for Goldline. Beck's on-air promotion of gold, which includes advising viewers to construct "fruit cellars" and to rely on a "three G system" of "God, Gold, and Guns" in the event of America's collapse, dates back to his time as a host for CNN Headline News.
Beck also regularly talks up gold on his nationally syndicated radio show, where he often endorses Goldline during live commercial segments. Additionally, Beck has had the company's CEO on as a guest. Advertisements for Goldline are also featured prominently on Beck's own website, where he recently promoted gold in an audio clip warning of an apocalyptic future:
This apocalyptic future comes from his faith as a Mormon as this rhetoric is brain washed into its followers at a early age.
Now Beck is pushing a apocalyptic "survival kit" or "food insurance" disaster kits.
If you ever find yourself in a post-nuclear holocaust environment and come across people eating beef stroganoff, odds are they'll be Glenn Beck fans.
The food insurance website touts the many perks of food insurance, not least of which is the "gourmet quality" of the products.
While your neighbors are struggling to find food, you will be dining on lasagna, beef stroganoff, and a variety of other delicious entrees. What's more, this food will retain its nutritional value and freshness for up to ten years.
Talk about faith, hope and charity. Screw those starving, unprepared jerks next door. Besides beef stroganoff, other available entrees include chicken ala king, fettuccini alfredo and chicken teriyaki, because as everyone knows, if civilization collapses, the one thing you'll really miss is good take out.
The Food Insurance website also features a video of Beck talking about how this is a "crazy" world. He says his staff and family all have the backpacks, with "everything that you need in case the world goes to "Beck" in a hand basket."
As always readers we can't make this stuff up, yet this is the reality of the "NEW REPUBLICAN".
Get out and "Rock the Vote", for if not the aforementioned is what shall be running your country.

Economist Dana Leosch Says........
The economic stimulus package is a favorite target of Tea baggers, but more than a few ads falsely claim it did not create or save any jobs. Some recent examples:
■Republican House candidate Dan Debicella charges that Democratic Rep. Jim Himes failed Connecticut’s families because he voted for a "stimulus package that has done nothing to reduce unemployment."
■Rick Scott, the Republican candidate for governor in Florida, says Democrat Alex Sink "backed the failed stimulus bill, which created debt, not jobs."
■Similarly, Sink — who never served in Congress and didn’t vote on the bill — is attacked by the Republican Party of Florida in an ad that says the stimulus "gave us big debt and no jobs."
■Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group that does not have to disclose its donors, aired an ad against Democratic congressional candidate Denny Heck of Washington that claimed the "$787 billion stimulus … failed to save and create jobs." The group has launched similar ads against other Democrats.
■Kristi Noem, a Republican House candidate from South Dakota, calls the measure a "jobless stimulus."
The truth is that the stimulus increased employment by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million people, compared with what employment would have been otherwise. That’s according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. That accounts for 100 million dollars to families who would be out of work otherwise
It’s utter stupidity to say that the stimulus created "no jobs" or "failed to save and create jobs" or "has done nothing to reduce unemployment" – or similar claims that the stimulus did not produce any jobs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report in August that said the stimulus bill has "lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.7 percentage points and 1.8 percentage points".
The foremost authority on all topics on economics in America, or anything political (Dana Loesch, and no she is know economist! She gets her knowledge from "google search") says
"We spent more money we didn’t have on something not enumerated in the Constitution as a responsibility of our government. We put our financial security at risk by selling our debt to China to fund temporary projects that only worsened our unemployment rate and further devalued our dollar. We’re going to couple this disastrous move – if Democrats have lame duck success or conservatives don’t take back congress – by raising taxes (like Japan’s lost decade) in a recession." Loesch goes on to say " Willingness to engage the other side shows people a truth that contradicts the government media’s stereotype of Tea Partiers. The goal, as has been echoed so many times by myself and by Andrew Breitbart, is to plant the seed. It’s easy to talk a good game in an echo chamber, it’s easy to witness to people who think exactly the same way you do, but to test your convictions by going outside your comfort zone is where the ideological battle needs to go."
Leosch often speaks on "fact checking" , which to her means any 'search engine" on the Internet!
Fact Checker - A fact checker is the person who checks factual assertions in non-fictional text collected from non-partisan reports, and usually intended for publication in a periodical, to determine their veracity and correctness. i.e. Stimulus funding should be fact checked via the GAO Government Accounting Office, not "newsmax.com"!
At the end of the day Dana, Simply put, more people would be unemployed if not for the stimulus bill. The exact number of jobs created and saved is difficult to estimate, but nonpartisan economists say there’s no doubt that the number is positive. This according to the Factcheck.org!
Loesch speaking economics says "all of it an artificial mechanism to stimulate the economy to some idiotic Keynesian economic principle" speaking on clunkers for cash and auto bailout. (Just like our intro video to tonight's blog, Loesch gives you her biased take or that of a partisan blogger more intelligent than she, more aptly the latter as NTFOS doubts Loesch can speak for herself or do real "REAL" fact checking. She is the "bitch", "minion" and "puppet" for someone of more power within axis of idiots camp.)
Let's see, believe a gal with barely a high school education, or someone whom has studied, develop, and apply theories and concepts from economics and writes about economic policy. NFTOS says the latter
The economist Loesch is more about her TV air time then to distribute real FACTS on any subject. She rants about her stint on Bill Mahr this past Friday, still the same condescending tool we've come to know, and NFTOS doubts the newly crowned SME on economics will ever change!
In hindsight we wish the bailouts and stimulus didn't happen, then lets see where Loesch and her fellow axis of idiots and know nothings theory on economics would be then.
Did the Stimulus Create Jobs?.....Sorry Dana but Yes, the stimulus legislation increased employment, despite your false claims to the contrary.

"WHAT I BELIEVE IS IRRELEVANT"
(The above video displays a tea bag society.)
In yet another surprise (not), NFTOS discloses that Sarah Palin advisers prepped Christine O'Donnell for debate, and yet Christine O'Donnell still had a rocky time at her Delaware Senate debate with Dem Chris Coons last night. She wouldn't say whether she believe in evolution, described Coons as a Marxist, and appeared to stumble very badly over her answer on discretionary funding.
If O'Donnell did succeed she has two people to thank for that, and they're both Sarah Palin advisers: Randy Scheunemann and Michael Goldfarb. They were the ones who took on the job of prepping O'Donnell for the debate.
In a phone conversation between the two Palin, recommended the two men to O'Donnell, and the O'Donnell campaign reached out to them to enlist their help.
O'Donnell botched her answer on Afghanistan, when she said that "we were fighting the Soviets over there in Afghanistan in the '80s and '90s" and that "we did not finish the job."
To suggest that "we were there fighting the Soviets", and that this might be fundamentally true is asinine at best. The chicken-hawk advisers define war and justify her answer as "The CIA was in Afghanistan. We were arming, equipping, training."
What a feat that this must have been to "train" the morphed Palin into what we see in current O'Donnell. But advisor Goldfarb insists that wasn't the case at all: "She's extremely impressive -- she's not a career politician." No Einstein, she certainly isn't!
This is why she isn't Senate material.
The solidifier to why Palin wannabe O'Donnell isn't senate material was best played out when debating last night, when the 41 year old virgin O'Donnell was unable to name a single recent Supreme Court decision she disagreed with during a televised debate with her Democratic rival. This shall go down in annuls of 'duh' moments as in 2008, Mrs. Palin, then the Republican vice-presidential candidate, was embarrassed during a television interview with Katie Couric when asked the very question her protégé was regarding Supreme Court cases they opposed. WTF! What kind of advisor fails to prepare the candidate for what has to be and should have been the first question proposed to O'Donnell via the moderators. Thank GOD Palin didn't win her bid with McCain for the Executive branch as these Einstein's would have been advising Palin on more serious matters like usage of key codes for nuclear weaponry!
There are many things about O'Donnell that makes our skin cringe when it comes to her being in the senate. Her inability to maintain her own affairs, her thoughts on "comedy TV", and her lack of honesty regarding the plethora of issues like using campaign funds for rent, and what universities she has really attended.
Being that O'Donnell is double down deems she has a snowballs chance in hell in gaining the seat, but should the frozen ball get to hell, those whom did vote for her should be held accountable when she fails to meet the bare minimums of what the office requires when in the office
Remember readers when Wolf Blitzer (name kills us) pressed O'Donnell on statements that she believes evolution is a "myth," her response was, "What I believe is irrelevant,". HUH?!?! Never a more truer statement Chrissy, and we at NFTOS couldn't have said it better.

"AMERICA FOR SALE"
With the onslaught of complaints from the left with regards to Karl Rove, and USCC funding the right with "tainted money" it's no wonder the world thinks "America is for Sale"!
Thinkprogress has disclosed some 84 foreign firms donating over 885 thousand dollars to the USCC "general accounting" fund, which by happen stance is the same fund that gives (ten million this week alone) tainted monies to ensure that the right has the majority say after November 2, 2010. As mentioned yesterday this is against everything that is American! Karl Rove would sell his own mother to the devil to ensure a majority slant to the axis of idiots or know nothings.
Yes the very group that wants the majority wants to;
abolish the minimum wage
kill health care
end unemployment
phase out social security
change the 14th amendment
Sell America to foreign firms whom do not have you in their best interest
The tea bagger would rather Americans lose the small pittance of 7.25 hour so that some 13 year old in Indonesia could apply the "made in America" stamp to any Haliburton contract.
Christine O'Donnell in her debut debate was all over her opponent with regards to troops in Afghanistan. O'Donnell was completely against troop reduction and gave us a diatribe of "American security" and GWOT efforts. In our world we call Christine and her fellow tea baggers Chicken-hawks
(Chicken-hawk is a political epithet used in the United States to criticize a politician, bureaucrat, or commentator who strongly supports a war or other military action, yet who actively avoided military service when of age.
The term is meant to indicate that the person in question is cowardly or hypocritical for personally avoiding combat in the past while advocating that others go to war in the present. Generally, the implication is that "chickenhawks" lack the experience, judgment, or moral standing to make decisions about going to war. The term is not applied to those who avoided military service without subsequently adopting a hawkish political outlook.)
The plethora of Chicken-hawks that proliferate the extremist tea bag camp is overwhelming to include, Dana Loesch, Ann Coulter, Christine O'Donnell, karl Rove, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Rand Paul, and the list goes on.
Actually NFTOS would like to thank O'Donnell and she should be congratulated for voicing what most Republicans think and feel. She is not a lunatic in their twisted psychopath world. When it comes to Republicans she is practically a moderate. Thank you Christine for letting us all know where you, your party, and all other deranged nutcases that think the rich and corporate elitist should be able to rule and control our law makers.
Readers we now have the Republican blueprint for America’s future if they were put in charge. This plan, which appears to be written by a lobbyist, and looks like Bushonomics II. There is not one single idea, or action they specify that will actually create jobs. It's just more regurgitation of the Bush regime.
The tea bagger is all about a Government by the lobbyist, for the lobbyist, and even from the lobbyist. Where the monies come from are irrelevant to the tea bagger...It's just win baby at any expense, even if that means sell your soul and your country to do so!
Karl Rove and USCC need to be investigated for criminal activity and should be audited by the IRS. Disclose your books, show America Karl that you are not the "traitor" that you have shown yourself to be!
The possibility is real readers that foreign powers are trying to steal your congress. Buying elections is not what "we the people" are about. Any such concept is a travesty! Maybe with all the shenanigans of late with regards to elections America needs to "reform' this activity as well.
This election (as we say about all of them) is the most important to date for our country. You have read our blogs, now with less than 20 days till voting, it's time for you to "call the ball" America! YOUR destiny in in your hands. Don't "Sell America" out.

Karl Rove "Enemy Lists" Numero UNO
{The above pictures is what should have happened to Karl Rove for outing CIA operative Valerie Plame}
Karl Rove fired back at recent accusations that he has "funded" conservative groups responsible for pouring money into nationwide conservative causes, and disputed the validity of statements made by President Obama and the Democratic National Committee.
So not to be trumped Karl Rove jumps the George Soros bandwagon (Soros has been linked to funding the left during G.W. Bush last run for office). Mr. Rove emphatically denies being tied to "funding and advising" conservative groups American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. (Just like he didn't have anything to do with the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame)
Mr. Rove complains of being on B-ROCKS "enemy list. Unequivocally yes Karl, you are enemy number one! NFTOS can add an additional 100 to this list of lunatic extremist whom are in line to take America to where it once was under the G.W. Bush Regime.
NFTOS says keep the matches from the arsonists! Mr. Rove and the US Chamber of Commerce's Ed Gillespie are in criminal violation of our law by getting foreign money and spending it on American political campaigns, yet Rove states "they have not one shred of evidence to back up that baseless lie". (This is why USCC fought till the death about exposure of "cooked books" or accounting transparency. Which would allow America to validate Karl's whining). If it's required Rove can skirt the law, just like he did when and he and "Dick" Cheney concocted the WMD fairytale.
Let's play Karl' s game and say hypothetically that the left did do as he states. Does this make "two wrongs make a right theory" ok? When dealing with the extremist right its like dealing with the bully on the schoolyard. And there is no bigger bully than Karl Rove in the political arena. NFTOS says to Karl and his "you did it so we can" mentality, pot meet the kettle!
Watching Rove is like being in the reoccurring movie theme of "Groundhog Day". Revamped conservative groups had to be established and designed to balance the supposed well-funded extra-party political infrastructure built by liberals during the Bush years, American Crossroads and a sister group called Crossroads GPS have become major players in the midterm elections, airing millions of dollars' worth of ads boosting Republicans and ripping Democrats. And they figure to become even more active as Election Day approaches, thanks to the whopping $32 million raised in large part by Rove.
The "Tillman Act of 1907 was the first legislation in the United States prohibiting monetary contribution to national political campaigns by corporations. The intent was to quash the ideology of current actions like USCC, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS.
The legislation as written states;
'"An Act to prohibit corporations from making money contributions in connection with political elections. Be it enacted, That it shall be unlawful for any national bank, or any corporation organized by authority of any laws of Congress, to make a money contribution in connection with any election to any political office. It shall also be unlawful for any corporation whatever to make a money contribution in connection with any election at which Presidential and Vice-Presidential electors or a Representative in Congress is to be voted for or any election by any State legislature of a United States Senator. Every corporation which shall make any contribution in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be subject to a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and every officer or director of any corporation who shall consent to any contribution by the corporation in violation of the foregoing provisions shall upon conviction be punished by a fine of not exceeding one thousand and not less than two hundred and fifty dollars, or by imprisonment for a term of not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the court."'
Karl Rove and scandal go hand in hand as on several occasions, Rove has found himself at the center of a publicized scandal, though it should be noted that this has happened far fewer times than one would expect from a person with such dubious morals contempt for even a semblance of ethical behavior at the expense of political capital.
Rove was, more than once, caught having policy meetings with the heads of corporations he owned stock in. These allegations are questionable, however, as they are generally insignificant considering Rove's overall body of work. This would be similar to prosecuting Slobodan Milosevic for writing bad checks.
Additionally, Rove had his hand in every major scandal over the 7 years he worked in the White House.
Having lost out the opportunity to be the primary source for the Valerie Plame leak, Rove had to settle for later confirming classified information. Rove was held in contempt of Congress for failing to testify over the firing of U.S. attorneys. In both cases, Rove was involved enough to commit a crime, but his involvement was convoluted enough for no one to care. This should come as no surprise considering those circumstances defined eight years of policy in the executive branch.
While in the White House, Rove avoided using the official government e-mail servers to send correspondence. This is the first time a skill set invented by porn-aficionados with desk jobs was used to avoid federal indictment.
Rove resigned from the White House in the fall of 2007, though his resignation came voluntarily and not in the shadow of any major federal indictments as many had originally expected. Rove stated he was departing for the "sake of his family," however it should be noted that by "sake of his family" he did not mean that he needed to spend more time with them, but rather that it was financially more beneficial for them if he departed while he could still write a relevant memoir instead of sticking around the sinking ship of the Bush administration.
After working at the White House, Rove was offered and accepted numerous contributing political analysis roles in the media to help fill the time between the congressional subpoenas he was ignoring. It is not known whether the viewing public will enjoy studying this "brain" or merely count the minutes until it is over so they can wash their hands and get the foul smell out.
The aforementioned only shows the perpetual political light dimming on Rove, only after being scolded and steam rolled by his party over the Christine O'Donnell fiasco did Karl un-tape his testicles from his thighs, and yank his tail from between his legs. Often the case is that a pathological liar repeats his offense. Karl is no different!
Maybe someday America will open it's eyes and see this traitor for what he is..............A TRAITOR

They Are Certainly Not The Boy Scouts
(Above picture is of my great grandfather with then President Teddy Roosevelt pushing for first scouting jamboree)
It is certainly obvious of late that the tea bagger is completely off the reservation. To be Nazi or not, to emphatically misconstrue everything that is America. Whom else would think it's ok to dress up in full Nazi garb with your son and call it "father son bonding"? "Reich" - wing extremism is just as bad if not worse than right - wing extremism. But in grand fashion the tea bagger will support their buffoonery to the very end. Gumption, gall, testicle fortitude, or just plain asshat.
The Boy Scouts of America's goal is to train responsible citizenship, character development and it's 'Law is;
Scout Oath
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country;
To obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Scout Motto
Be Prepared
Scout Slogan
Do a good turn daily
My Great Grandfather was the founder of the scouts. Dr. James E. West was the first CEO of the scouts. My great grand father was also appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt to the Board of Pension Appeals in the Department of the Interior in 1902. He was instrumental in establishing the juvenile court system, pushing a bill through Congress.
The rules are tossed out the door when it comes to requirements to run for office especially for the right.
The extremist tea bagger has been great for Bill Mahr, Jon Stewart, and NFTOS, but really is the ridiculous ideology of the know nothings really whom we want to be seated in Governor's houses and either the house or senate?
Today a clip out of Ohio shows Rich Iott "re-enacting" nazi craziness or glorifying Nazi extremism in full Nazi garb. While most of the "axis of idiots" are distancing themselves from this tool, much is still allowed in camp psycho. Things you can do and still be a republican tea bagger;
GOP Approved
a. While dawning Nazi garb is out painting Hitler like mustaches on B-Rock is acceptable.
b. Eliminate Medicare
c. Privatize Social Security.
d. Send bestiality email to friends
e. Oppose Civil Rights
f. will disallow females whom engage in sexual activity from teaching in school
g. believe mice with full functioning human brains roam the earth
h. can be radical "Southern Baptist" with the likes of Rev. Phelps (Sharon Angle)
I. Amend constitution to suit your political views.
j. Believe B-ROCK is a Muslim
k. if you are raped and become pregnant you birth the child irregardless
l. There are a group of extremists “birthers” who, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, continue to claim that Obama was not born in the United States, thus is ineligible to be President.
What we have here is one party that is severely compromised and just plain nuts. There is no other way to parse it. The Republican Party has become the majority of out-of-mainstream people. Tea baggers are the new "lunatic fringe group".
Republicans will often engage in "baiting rants' to see if the left will join in the fray. NFTOS would like to make this point clear, once again. We have no problem with any of these right wingers saying any off-the-wall thing they want to say. Our problem is with the Republican Party leadership which seems unwilling to take any of these hard-line extremists to task. By their inaction, Republican leaders legitimize somewhat the extremist rhetoric and at the same time paint the Republican Party into an extremist corner. Unless, Republicans are willing to change, their party will be seen more and more as a regional Southern party, fitting snuggly along side of the KKK.
The plethora of republicans joining the "lunatic fringe list" are never ending. Republican extremism is rampant in America. The extremism used by Republicans is all you see, readers. It’s the strange mailers, the scary ads, the fear, etc. Nothing amounts to what they would actually do for you. Nothing tells you their plans for helping the jobless. Nothing in those mailers tell you what a Republican can do for the United States that effects the working people, the families or the people needing help.
No, we get told to vote for the GOP or get this. Vote for us and we’ll protect you from this. How so? By protecting corporations like BP and Halliburton from being subpoenaed? By repealing Wall Street Reform? By repealing health care reform?
It’s all backwards. It’s about returning power back to the filthy rich. It’s about not having a middle class in this country. It's about lying and half truths to solidify a seat so that the tea bagger has the majority rule.
Our blog has been in existence for about 3 months, but we try to show you who exactly the tea baggers are concerned about – and it isn’t you.

"Transparency of Forgien Funding To The Right"!
As you may have heard by now, or maybe you've been under a rock of late, the U.S Chamber of Commerce is accepting foreign bills and lumping it in it's "general accounting" fund, and then dispersing these said funds to "Republican" interest around the country. The USCC is the biggest donor to the Republicans, besides Rupert Murdoch CEO of Fox News.
The biggest attack against the Democrats is being waged by the USCC a trade association organized as a 501(c)(6) that can raise and spend unlimited funds without ever disclosing any of its donors. The Chamber has promised to spend an unprecedented $75 million to defeat candidates like Jack Conway, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Jerry Brown, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), and Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA). As of Sept. 15th, the Chamber had aired more than 8,000 ads on behalf of GOP Senate candidates alone, according to a study from the Wesleyan Media Project. The Chamber’s spending has dwarfed every other issue group and most political party candidate committee spending. A ThinkProgress investigation has found that the Chamber funds its political attack campaign out of its general account, which solicits foreign funding. And while the Chamber will likely assert it has internal controls, foreign money is fungible, permitting the Chamber to run its unprecedented attack campaign. According to legal experts consulted by ThinkProgress, the Chamber is likely skirting longstanding campaign finance law that bans the involvement of foreign corporations in American elections.
The United States Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is the world's largest not-for-profit lobbying group, representing many businesses and associations across the United States of America. It is not an agency of the United States government. Very misleading with the name but as you shall see the USCC is a outside the box with their ideology and business protocol.
The Chamber is staffed with policy specialists, lobbyists and lawyers. It is known for spending more money than any other lobbying organization on a yearly basis. Their Mission Statement is to "To advance human progress through an economic, political and social system based on individual freedom, incentive, initiative, opportunity, and responsibility."
The Chamber is not without controversy either, since April of 2009 the USCC has had plenty of black eyes. These controversies are;
In April 2009, the Chamber began an ad campaign against the proposed Employee Free Choice Act. Critics such as the National Association of Manufacturers have contended that additional use of card check elections will lead to overt coercion on the part of union organizers. Opponents of the Employee Free Choice Act also claim, referring to perceived lack of access to a secret ballot, that the measure would not protect employee privacy. Hence they claim the act will reduce workers' rights. The act is widely supported by organized labor.
In October, 2009, The Yes Men activist group held a fake press conference pretending to represent the Chamber and promising a complete reversal on the already sensitive climate change policy. The Chamber subsequently filed suit against that activist group.
It has been reported that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has falsely inflated the number of members. The Chamber says this is a "misunderstanding of the U.S. Chamber's structure".
In November 2009, The U. S. Chamber of Commerce was reported to be seeking to spend $50,000 to hire a "respected economist" to produce a study that could be used to portray health-care legislation as a job killer and threat to the nation's economy. James P. Gelfand, the author of the e-mail detailing this project, assumes ahead of time that the study will reach such a conclusion.
In December 2009, activist group Velvet Revolution, under the name StopTheChamber, posted a $200,000 reward for "information leading to the arrest and conviction of Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donahue". When this fact was reported by Fox News, the group reported receiving death threats.
and the big hitter; foreign funding of US political campaigns
In October 2010, it is reported that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has obtained donations from foreign businesses and foreign governments to advance its political interests. A Think Progress report found that the US Chamber pays for political advertising out of its general account. This is the same account that has accepted at least $300,000 from foreign corporate members of the Chamber based in Bahrain and India, and the Chamber has many more foreign corporate members worldwide. Think Progress warned that foreign funds may be being used by the Chamber to defeat Democratic candidates. The MoveOn.org advocacy organization asked the Department of Justice to investigate the matter. The US Chamber denied the allegations, saying they had a "system in place" to ensure that overseas money is not used illegally. The US Chamber did not provide any explanation of that system. Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said, "It's time the Chamber of Commerce answered a very basic question: Since when do they believe that large undisclosed corporate interests and companies in China, Russia and the Middle East should help choose America's leaders?" A White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the Chamber’s failure to disclose the companies donating to its political advertising was his concern. “The donors that have gone into contributing to those ads, the identity of those individuals or groups should be known.”
Foot Note: Just this past summer the Republicans struck down a bill that would allow and ensure that "TRANSPARENCY" was invoked to these less than shady " not-for-profit lobbying groups. In essence the bill would require groups like the USCC to disclose whom is giving the funds and where all these funds where distributed, not just say we segregate our "general account".
Congress needs to re-address this issue ASAP and ensure that these books are open for all to see. The tea bagger screams "transparency" often, yet they couldn't pass legislation to babysit the corrupt or the less than ethical. Why, because you don't bite the hand that feeds you. Christine O'Donnell speaks of "back door politics", Glenn Beckistan states today that the U.S. is conforming to "Fabian Socialism" (quickly, Fabian's are a British socialist movement, whose purpose is to advance the principles of socialism via gradualist and reformist, rather than revolutionary, means. It is best known for its initial ground-breaking work beginning late in the 19th century and continuing up to World War I.)
Is taking monies from China, Middle East, Russia Fabian Socialism, or back door politics?
Glenn Beckistan just had a march on "Restoring Honor". WTF! Maybe the extremist tea bagger has a different definition of what honor is. Honor is defined as is the evaluation of a person's trustworthiness and social status based on that individuals espousal's and actions. Honor is deemed exactly what determines a person's character: whether or not the person reflects honesty, respect, integrity, or fairness.
NFTOS unequivocally states that if the USCC is taking foreign funds and re-distributing them to the Republicans they should be held to highest accountability of the law. A full investigation should ensue immediately, and let the chips fall where they may!
