PillBox and I have been thinking about writing a conservative blog together for quite some time. An article in Tuesday's (7/31/07) Seattle Post-Intelligencer ("the PI" for the locals) tipped me over the edge.
On page A2 was a large headline reading "Blogger fest a magnet for liberal politicos" by Joe Garofoli of the San Fransisco Chronicle. You can google it yourself. The article rambled on about how liberals were widely represented on the www, but that conservatives were not. Conservatives are still "plugged in" to talk radio.
I wonder why? Could it be that conservatives mostly GO TO WORK, and hold down a full time job, or two? We listen to talk radio on the way to work, and sometimes at work if possible. We don't sit around blogging all day long. We work hard. Get a life, and get offline!

It's hard to be a conservative in the Northwest. Everytime you're tempted to voice your views, you bite your tongue as everyone around you starts slamming all things conservative or thoughtful. So you keep your head down, and your mouth shut. We're done with that. Time to come out of the closet, at least online. IndySee and PillBox will provide their take on the news headlines relevant to the Northwest.
Northwest Closet Conservative
NWClosetCon is a joint effort by IndySee (aka nwclosetcon), and PillBox . We're a couple of conservatives from Indiana and Tennessee who have lived in the Seattle area for a combined 35 years. TeenGuyWhite, a Jr. High student, will also add his thoughts at times.
Due to the vitriolic liberal rhetoric and bias in the local media and conversation, the term "Northwest Conservative" is practically an oxymoron. Reading the morning paper frequently makes us rant and rave over breakfast, yet we have no safe place to voice our views. We've decided that it is time to speak up, and come out of the Conservative Closet. We hope you will enjoy our thoughts on the Seattle area news.
