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.

To Build or Not To Build

I would imagine with the hate for the building plans going forward that this may escalate to all out war on 51st street. The first amendment says (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law "respecting an establishment of religion", impeding the free exercise of religion, infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

While I respect this, I am thinking a little insensitivity is shown by the Muslim faith whether its a center for chefs or basketball, its just a little to close to home!

Obviously the right is going to make this bad and its anxiety shall only lead to more anger and possible blood shed.

The Muslim world whether these POS whom flew planes into the USA are a portion of them or not...its more guilt by association whether right or wrong , if you cant corral your faith to be honest decent humans than you have too expect Americans to be gun shy with the religion.

I have chased terror for 25 years and thought being near a mosque was the safest thing for me... when this couldn't be further from the truth as bullets whizzed by my temples.

The extremist see this as another victory as America has to follow her founders and nothing more than having a "community center" 300 feet away from the most sacred ground of out time.

Whether right or wrong its going to be interesting!
