The Future is Now

When we think of 14 year old boys, we may envision a backyard game of football, being played in the mud. We may imagine young lads forming a club with the major club rule being “No girls allowed!” But Jonathan Krohn is not your typical mold of an eighth-grader. Recently featured in The New York Times, Jonathan has become known as “The Little Mr. Conservative” as his primary attention is focused on government and politics. From analyzing President Obama’s stimulus plan to speaking on C-SPAN and CNN, he has become highly revered and respected by numerous Conservative icons. Not only is he a political activist, but as of late he has published his own book titled "Define Conservatism" and is at the moment preparing to write a second book. One of Jonathan’s proudest moments was when he gave a three-minute speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in which he brought the thousands of attendees to their feet.

Jonathan became interested in the governing of America and its political system when he was 8 years old, upon hearing of a filibuster that had taken place. This intrigued Jonathan, and thus began his enthusiasm for politics. Being homeschooled and raised in a family with Christian morals has shaped Jonathan into the kind of person he is today: a person wise beyond his years. When younger, Jonathan contemplated traveling to the Middle East as a missionary, so he began to study the language of Arabic. Because of his new found political fame, Jonathan may be changing his mind about his future, but still has a heart for the Middle East and continues to study the Arabic language.

Jonathan is quite aware and very serious about his ability to influence many thousands of people. He openly admits that he has much to learn and work and improve upon, such as hand motions while delivering speeches. Jonathan also confesses that there are those who may criticize him because of his young age, and that he should save these ambitions for his political future. But with Jonathan Krohn speaking pure and simple Conservative principles at such a pivotal time as today, perhaps this country could use some of that future now.
