I've been hearing a ton about this kid, Jonathan Krohn. CPAC, Cnn, Fox, it goes on and on. I personally think he is annoying as hell. Any thoughts on him?

[fightoffyrdmns]

Good thing he can't yet legally voice his opinion.

[shit stroll]

:hitself:

[makeshiftmind]

nice hand movement

[Bruised26]

:hitself:

to make it even better, hes from atlanta also...

[shit stroll]

to make it even better, hes from atlanta also...
haha. why am i not surprised?

[apsterling]

He's basically reiterating himself the entire time.

Oh, and he needs to get out more.

pretty sure he is home schooled.

[saysmydoctor]

I think he does understand the idea of conservatism better than actual conservatives.

[bensATLsummer08]

This kid is never going to get laid...

[DejaNew]

He needs to be a kid.

[GuitarR0cker1]

This kid is fucking annoying.

I have a bad feeling watching this that in 21 years this kids gonna try to run for president

key word is try. It isn't like he is going to get anywhere.

[FemaleCuckold]

Dude is 14 and appears on C-span and numerous news programs and has written a book.

He's already got further than you'll ever get.

uh no shit.

As in a meaningful way in a presidential race. Being on c-span is getting further than you or I but is it really meaningful and will it be remembered? No.

oh trust me, this kid WILL be remembered... but infamous rather than famous.

[The Personist]

He isn't saying a single new thing. He's just young, so they like him. It's so stupid.

[Machu505]

Young conservatives don't scare me. They'll probably get more liberal as time goes by anyway. And it's not as if teenage conservatives now will have much political clout when those of us who grew up during the Bush years reach the age where we'll be taking part in government. Damn run-on sentences.

Also, as said before, he will never get laid.

[samsara]

He will be best friends with his hand.

[Joe DeAndrea]

Kid sounds like the Joker.

[saysmydoctor]

I'll give the kid credit. He listens to NPR over Rush Limbaugh.

[thesafeword]

I fucking hate this kid, not for his views, but for his cockiness. He thinks that he's so fucking awesome.

[J.C.]

I think I called him a wedgie-magnet last time. If there's anything out there where he's speaking intelligently and rationally about important issues, I'd be happy to listen. All I've seen up to this point is him talking about the great principles of conservatism, which is what every Republican who fashions themself after Reagan does.

[I'm DC]

what a nerd

[Guillotine]

I wonder how he'll react when one of his heroes gets caught with an intern.

Also, this kid might be the anti-christ.

[thesafeword]

Watch the video of him on CNN, he is definitely wearing lip stick.

[TotalCollapse]

:wallbash:

[MyNameIsRoss]

kid should be playing video games and getting high like every other normal 14 year old boy. he's missing out on his youth.

[ostartero]

I don't think the kid is old enough to have a legitimate political view. 90% of kids that age just absorb their parents' politics and reasoning.

Besides I'm willing to be that he's not even in the top 90th percentile in intelligence for 14 year olds.

Great speaker though.

O really?

[ambulance]

O really?

You're in the other 10% :)

[Animalhill]

O really?
I wouldn't say that being 14 means your opinion isn't valid, but I would argue that he isn't old enough to be voicing his opinion on C-SPAN. He has a lot of growing up to do (don't mean this in a condescending way) before he projects his views onto people.

Yeah mang all 14 year olds are idiots.

[ostartero]

Yeah mang all 14 year olds are idiots.

I'm not being condescending, but the average 14 year old doesn't know enough about world politics, cultures, economics, etc. to have a fully developed political stance.

[GuitarR0cker1]

Yeah I agree with you 100%. I have the feeling this particular 14 year old probably doesn't know quite enough to have a fully developed stance but if he wrote a whole book about it, he definitley knows quite a bit, even if his views are misguided.

[Jake Denning]

He needs to be a kid.

Are you guys kidding me? This kid is going to get some pretty hot ass south babes, hes going to get more pussy than all of us combined.

Based off? Great assumption supported by your lack of appreciation for republicans.

Had this kid been liberal he would be getting praise from this site but alas, he disagrees with many, including mine, political stances so therefore hes an idiot. Congrats AP, unbiased bashings for the lulz.

Hes at the conservative political action conference.... What do you mean get out more? Play some hop-scotch in the street?

[saysmydoctor]

I'm gonna have to agree, actually. I may disagree with him, but at least he is actually representing conservatism correctly.

[bluecrunchy]

Somehow he managed to talk for 3 minutes without actually saying anything. Gotta give him props for that.

I'm just wondering if I'm not watching the same video as everyone else.

He said how the Republican Party is simply the vessel of the policy conceptions of the movement/ideology, which is conservatism and then defined what conservatism is, based on four basic tenets. He got across a lot in three minutes.

[deanster321]

He almost seems as though he could be the American equivalent of this:

[RejoiceMySoul]

After watching that whole video, I want to go and find that kid and punch him square in his mouse looking face.

[The Summer Ends]

durr hurr i disagree with his political views so he's an idiot

I agree, I thought it was rather impressive.

Yeah but anybody who simply follows politics at any age in any capacity knows that. I don't mean to sound like a condescending douchebag, but I knew that at fourteen and I don't believe that I am anything special when it comes to political knowledge. He knows more about politics than the average teen but if he's going to be writing a book for public criticism, speaking at CPAC, and generally putting himself out there in the adult world at this age, he's going to have to be judged by adult standards and I don't think he makes the cut.

[doppelganger]

he looks like a child actor. can't put my finger on it though. :/

[oh...rly]

Are you guys kidding me? This kid is going to pay for some pretty hot ass south babes, hes going to get more pussy than all of us combined.

Fixed

In all honesty, I've heard similar rhetoric out of Limbaugh. He makes the case all the time that the conservative movement is much bigger than the party and that's generally how he refers to himself(as a conservative, not a republican).

what a joke

[AndrewIcex]

He impressed me, and does seem very intelligent, but we will see where his future leads, if he is only in for the 15 minutes of fame, or maybe he is the future. What if he is a fake? And this whole thing is just a big scandal type thing, like he was rehearsed on all that, and the book really was not written by him? Just a pondering thought haha.

[CarryOn09]

This kid is never going to get laid...
:rotfl:

basically what i was thinking.

in all seriousness though, this kid seems like a classic case of being raised in a home where opposing viewpoints were never presented, religion was used like a threat to get him to think so fanatically about politics and whatnot, and where liberals were seen as satan on earth. IMO.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

That kid is going to grow up to be this guy

[x togepi x]

i doubt he wrote that book.

[bowl of oranges]

As for the kid, I bet his parents told him most of that. Which is lame.

[open mind]

let's see him debate our resident 14 year old democrat.

[Charles777]

I wish I was as cool as that kid.

[anthonydarko]

The kid is a real life Alex P. Kenton, who will never get laid or have real friends. Also, he gives off the impression of being a smarmy self-righteous prick.

[timbedinosaur]

Brainwash 'em while they're young.
