Let the Universe Howl in Despair...

For I now have a blog!

My name is Kurt and I am a Conservative.
(Hi, Kurt.)

I was (according to despair.com) a disaffected college student. Now, I am a disaffected college graduate. I am a romantic, optimistic cynic. Antithetical as those descriptors may be, I have resolved that despite my shortcomings and whatever life throws at me, I endeavor to venture through life with a grin on my face (Thank you, Charles Dickens). Beer is a passion of mine that helps in that endeavor. I am not a drunk and rarely do I imbibe enough to render me so. The beverages I opt to consume are based on taste, fullness of flavor, and the importance of trying new things.

I am a Christian, specifically a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. As I believe in the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God, know that my faith has a direct effect on my worldview. At the same time, I know that my faith is not shared by everyone, especially in the realm of politics. While my faith guides me, I will make my arguments based on more secular reasoning.

I am recently returned to the National Capitol Area in hopes of curing what ails me. I am one of many Americans that currently suffers from unemployment. I am on the over-educated under-experienced treadmill of recent graduates with piling loan debt and no way to pay it off save for the grace of my family. As such, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands to conduct research on public policy decisions that matter to me. I am actively working to engage this Republic to advance the agenda and issues that are important to my generation. It is necessary for every citizen to make his voice heard and thanks to the internet, we can do just that. I want to thank everyone who has chosen to lend me their attention.

I ask anyone who reads my words to keep me honest. If anything I write here is factually inaccurate, please let me know so that I can correct my errors.

And finally, not everything I write will be political in nature. I am fond of movies, especially bad movies, such as Snakes on a Plane starring Samuel L. Jackson and Death Race starring Jason Statham. As I see new movies and watch old ones and my muse inspires me, I may wax on about the latest drivel I have used to occupy my time. I also reserve the right to to write about anything else that strikes my fancy or ire.

Have a nice day, God Bless You, I hope to be both entertaining and informative though not necessarily at the same time.
