YBlog is born!

Welcome to YBlog, a voice for a member of GenerationY who doesn't want to be nailed down to stereotypes, party lines, or spin room facts.

This is mainly a political blog so if you don't enjoy or care about politics, it probably isn't the place for you.

From time to time, there will also be educational topics discussed because I am a 25 year old high school English teacher and many of you in my generation are still on the other side of the desk and in college. I've gained a unique perspective and have also gained some strong opinions about educational policy.

I've been a member of both political parties and, to be honest, I'm not in love with either one. The Democrats don't understand my moral values and the Republicans don't seem to understand my social values so I find myself constantly torn.

Do you ever find yourself having the same struggle? I'm sure there are others out there who want to have good moral values and policies that encourage wholesome families, but still care about the less fortunate and want programs to assist them as well.

While political speech becomes more strident and partisan, this blog is here to be a voice of moderation, respect, and optimism. We'll cover news stories, tell you our take on them, and give you the chance to weigh in.

Here's to Generation Y! Here's to the great men and women who came before us and gave us a legacy of freedom! Here's to those who will come after us, for whom we seek to continue and build upon this legacy!

God bless you all!
