Introduction

Hello readers, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Most of you probably know me and that's probably why you're here. For those of you who don't, my name is Zach Smith (that explains the link) and I'm 21 years old. As the title of this blog suggests, hopefully, I'm asking you to read my opinion on things, specifically politics. "Lend me your ears" comes from Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, not "With a Little Help From My Friends" by The Beatles. Even though I like that song it's not my inspiration. 

Those of you who don't know me may be thinking, "Do I really want to hear a millennial talk about politics?" And I don't blame you if you do think that, after all the young voters were a big voting block for Obama. I wasn't old enough to vote in 2008 or 2012 though, so you can't blame me for Obama. 

Anyway, I'm a conservative if you couldn't tell. I would say I'm a Cruz like conservative, but we saw at the GOP convention how Cruz turned out. Cruz only got my vote because Carson withdrew from the race before the North Carolina primary. Trump is my third option and I'll be voting for him, I will not vote for Clinton. I'll get to the 2016 election another time.

My reason for starting this blog is chiefly to give a conservative opinion on what is going on in the world because the mainstream media is biased most of the time. My other reason is to see if I can become a successful enough political blogger to maybe become professional. 

So, my blog is officially ready to be read. I'm aiming at posting every week or two, so stay tuned.

And thanks for reading.
