“Fox News Lies”

A neighbor states confidently as we watch T.V. while he is working out adjacent to me at my gym early one morning. Can you believe what they reported about illegal immigration? It is more right wing jargon and it can’t be true. I watch the news all the time and I consider myself very well informed. My neighbor is visibly upset and it is his conviction that Fox News once again perpetrated a lie. Sound familiar to you?

There are many good reasons why I appreciate living in a big city. However, it often is a daily challenge to be a member of a distinct silent minority of urban closet conservatives living among the vast majority of politically progressive leaning individuals. We most often remain in relative silence as our sensibilities are assaulted on a regular basis. We are already resigned to the fact that our vote will not count as it will be overwhelmed by voting on the other side in the next election. We inhabit an environment dominated with liberal leaning people with the backdrop of a liberal leaning popular culture and mass media.

All urban closet conservatives need a forum to express our opinions and connect with like-minded people because most often on a daily basis, we can’t. If and when it is an opportune time to be heard and express your opinion, a source of concise and well-reasoned ideas to counteract the emotionally charged rhetoric of the other side is required.
