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.
What we are against:
Radical Right Wing Agendas
Incompetent Establishment

We are for:
Global and Econmoic Security

THE RESISTANCE
While this resignation may tamper the burning beast that is the Mike Brown protesters, nothing less of indictment - will satisfactorily end this fiasco of a cop killing an unarmed African-American.
I wonder when Wilson resigns, will the Ferguson Police Department be wearing "I am Darren Wilson" patches and bracelets in a show of support?
Let me begin by saying that it’s a common standard, a conservative forensic device: Deflection. Every time a conservative is being outed as a racist, a bribe taker, a hypocrite, an adulterer or just a dead-souled, compassion-less, narcissistic, self-absorbed, “I got mine,” “not my brother’s keeper,” anti-social-compact, unlettered objectivist asshole, we get the Pavlovian response, “Well, yeah, but some Democrat did something horrible too once, so its OK for a Talibangelical to do so.”
This, from the party that advocates taking responsibility for ones action, but yet they never actually manage to own any of their politics, nor any of their other major deficiencies.
Day by day, Transvaginal Bob McDonnell finds himself deep in the trenches of illegal gift receiving. Yesterday the anti upped itself via the Washington Post, that Transvaginal Bob received yet another $120,000 in do-re-mi, cold hard cash. When does it end Bob?
Governor Ultrasound and his family have abused power, apparently often and frequently, and they have bilked the state tax payers of many bones [dollars].

What was once a little bug bite for Governor Ultrasound - has now turned into a viral contagious disease.
The Washington Post is now reporting that yet another daughter [the eldest of Transvaginal Bob] has had her wedding paid for and funded by Star Scientifics' CEO as well.
Governor Ultrasound and his family had an open siphon to the CEO's wallet! That's' right, the company McDonnell was hawking was donating to his family left and right. hand over fist if you will.
There’s wild rumors that state Attorney General Ken "Cooch" Cuccinelli will be the first one running in the other direction. However, Cuccinelli has his own depends to change, as he is being accused of accepting undisclosed donations from the exact same CEO.
Although he’s trying to rebrand himself as a moderate, ready to lead type of person (the usual radical Talibangelical meme), you might recall the "Cooch" as the American Talibaner who compared women’s health to slavery. Or perhaps you recognize him as the person causing conservative women by the droves to flee the GOP ticket due to his “dangerous… anti-woman health agenda.”

When the American Taliban says your scandal is not survivable, and a Democrat (party of perhaps too much civility and a well earned reputation for tepidness) is calling for your head in resignation, it’s got to be time to exit stage left. After all, the American Taliban stood behind Ensign and Vitter and re-ran Appalachian Trail hiker and post abandon-er Mark Sanford.
Seriously Bob, save what little respect we have for you, save what little moral ethical being you may have left in you and step down, leave the office today! While exiting, please be reminded, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
Today, the entire McDonnell family - you folks have served yourselves well as first Virginia family - all of you are today's worst people of the day! Congratulations McDonnell family, as no family has ever in our history of presenting the worst humans in our world, has a family ever walked away with this well earned coveted award. Kudos!
Rush Limbaugh catapulted himself to the top of hate radio this week by saying that a law student was a “slut” and a “prostitute” for claiming that law students could often not pay for their own birth control. This took up much time an energy on both sides, prompting even a movement for sponsors to boycott Limbaugh’s show over the comments. Yesterday Limbaugh released a statement on his website noting that, while absurdity is a tool he often picks out of the shed, he “sincerely apologizes” for what he describes as “insulting word choices.”
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke. I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone’s bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level. My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.
Limbaugh slammed Fluke all week long, the day after calling her these putrid names he came back the very next day justifying his nasty attack, it was only after the majority of his advertisers called him on it, did he back track. Unacceptable!
I am asking my 21 million readers to not call for an apology from this POS, but to ask that this ponderous porcine be removed from the airwaves! Enough is enough!
.......And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
And you don't call respectable females "prostitutes" and "sluts" on National radio!
