Well, here goes nothing. As of this minute I've told exactly no one that I intend to begin posting thoughts on my own political blog. A year from now I may wish that I'd kept it that way. Time will tell.
About me: Live in San Francisco with my wife Michele and four dogs, drive a Toyota Prius hybrid, work in the internet technology sector, own guns, sing in a band, still love the Oakland Raiders in spite of the continuing embarassment and frustration they seem to generate each season, and hold libertarian-leaning conservative views.
The title of this blog page is pretty much how I feel living in the Northern California Bay Area. Leftist ideology is well-entrenched here and forces me to constantly analyze my beliefs and views (which I feel is a great thing BTW) against the constant drumbeat of the "progressive" message pumped out by local/national media, co-workers, neighbors, friends, etc...
I'm hoping this web page will provide an outlet of sorts where I can express my thoughts and maybe (hopefully?) attract both kindred spirits as well as those who disagree and wish to present a thoughtful and compelling counterpoint to my views.
So with this post, it looks like I'm off and running. My goal is to try and get at least one post in every day with at least one significant post (specific topic) once a week. Drop a line if you're so inclined; especially if you're a fellow Bay Area conservative feeling a bit adrift at times.
