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.

WANT AN ABORTION? FIRST GET PERMISSION FROM THE MAN WHOM IMPREGNATED YOU

LIFE UNDER TEA BAGGER RULE


Conservatives aren’t even bothering to cover up the real reasons why they want to ban abortion anymore. Now they’re just admitting that they want to force women to be submissive to men. A male teapublican lawmaker in Alaska has let the cat out of the bag.

According to The Mudflats, Rep. Alan Dick (most apropos name) “said in a House Health and Social Services Committee Hearing last week that he doesn’t believe that when a woman is pregnant, it’s really “her pregnancy.” As a matter of fact, he would advocate for criminalizing women who have an abortion without the permission via written signature from the man who impregnated her. He stated:
“If I thought that the man’s signature was required… required, in order for a woman to have an abortion, I’d have a little more peace about it…”

He didn’t say whether a rapist would be able to send his signature by fax from prison, or not.

Rep. Dick’s sexist comments aside, Alaska teapublicans are also seeking to pass legislation that would violate the privacy and personal liberty of women, and would even misinform them.

Despite the fact that the state Supreme Court in Alaska has ruled that women should have access to abortion without being burdened, teapublicans in the state are waging war against women’s rights. In the state Senate, teapublicans are pushing SB 191, which forces women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion. In the House, the GOP is trying to pass HB 363, which forces state employees to lie to women about their pregnancy options and bans them from referring women to abortion providers and other abortion services.

Clearly, this war against women is all about forcing women to be completely submissive to men. Mr. Dick said as much. These conservative males want to turn back the clock on women’s rights in America and go back to a time when women were property and were restricted to carrying babies and cooking in the kitchen. Many of today’s conservatives even believe that women shouldn’t be allowed to have jobs and should be punished for having pre-marital sex. It won’t be too much longer before teapublicans try to repeal women’s voting rights out of some sick belief that women can’t be involved in politics.


HELP! THERE"S AN ELEPHANT IN MY UTERUS!


The teapublican party has become the monkeyshine of America. It is a party that belongs in 18th century America or perhaps even further back. It certainly doesn’t belong in this century. At any rate, the tea baggers are full of raving sexist chauvinist pigs and since women make up over half of the American population, teapublicans are basically committing political  self-immolation by attacking their rights, their privacy, their health, and their independence.
