What it do, baby boo?

Okay -

Since this is my first post I should probably explain myself and my blog to you. I think both can best be summed up by the following statement: Winston Churchill once said that if you're a young Conservative you have no heart, but if you're an old Liberal you have no brains...well, my brain just seems to be a little more developed than a lot of people my age. 

That's right, I am a twenty-something conservative. I know, I know, cue the tomatoes, right?

I don't necessarily believe that just because Winston Churchill thinks I should be BFFs with the Tin Man that makes it true. He was a great man, a great leader, and a great Conservative, but things have changed since Winston's day. It's my personal belief that I'm just a little more farsighted than a lot of my generation. Instead of the culture of instant gratification that abounds today I look to the future, and my political views are formed because of my hope and vision of the long term.

So that's what this blog is going to be -- a vision for the future for people my age. Let's face it... a lot of 18 to 24 year olds don't give a shit about politics or current events. If I said "Hey, what are your opinions on Georgia's sovereignty being compromised by Russia?" most people my age would be thinking along the lines of the ATL, not the Eastern European country (this disgusts me, btw). Obviously 18 to 24 year olds grow up. What happens when we become 40 year olds? How will people who haven't cared about politics until the middle of their lives feel when they realize they could have been safe-guarding their future rather than creating mindless Facebook groups in a quest to be "1,000,000 strong" for something stupid?

Hopefully this blog will be a platform for more people to become more educated about more issues. There are so many dangerous and scary things happening in the world of politics that are being glamorized and glossed over because not a lot of youth understand what lies under the surface, so maybe (just maybe) this blog can help shed some light on some issues that a lot of people around my age have trouble getting into.
