This is my first time ever having a blog, so bare with me. I suppose the best way to start out is by telling a little about myself. I am Sam Blatt, a 15 year old Sophmore at Western High School in Indiana. I probably take politics more seriously than anything besides God, and even then my political passion rivals Christ. (I don't think that's a good thing by the way) As politics is one of my biggest passions, I will be writing about political events, and what not on this blog. Please feel free to post comments and your own opinions since you are entitled to them.
I have always been on the "left" side of things in politics. My dad would talk about politics before I was old enough to quite understand what he was saying, and of course he was a liberal Democrat so I grew up thinking he was right. About the time I was 12 or 13 I stumbled across a political message board and decided to stick around and post a little bit. I learned a lot about politics from that AOL political message board, and I stayed on that until I was 14, and still talk to all the friends I made there. About the time I joined that AOL board, the Iraq war broke out and I was thrown into the political mess. I used to sit by a kid namd Ryan Nees on the bus going home from School, and he would talk about politics and the war, and how it was ridiculous. I became even more liberal listening to Ryan and absorbing what he said. By the way, Ryan has now filmed a documentary about our Mayor, sued the Mayor...and won, and is now a political figure in local politics. (and he's only 16)
However, as I grew older and began developing my own opinions, I realized that the Democrats weren't perfect, and that they were wrong on issues as well. I became a more moderate Democrat, a DLC Democrat. An Evan Bayh, Barrack Obama Democrat. So I began taking viewpoints from both sides of the isle and forming my own, unique opinion of the political world. I am no longer a liberal, but I'm not a conservative. I am radically moderate, and this is my blog.
