Jonathan Krohn is making waves in the political arena. He speaks at Tea Party Protests, is friends with Newt Gingrich, recently wrote a book titled, “Define Conservatism”, and appears yet again on CNN and Fox News as a television pundit, and this year, at another at CPAC. For all you non-political people out there, CPAC stands for the Conservative Political Action Conference, and was held in Washington D.C. this year. Make sure to check out his videos to hear him banter about politic, the Oscars, and being “a cool kid in school”. Huge, but very concrete dreams for a fourteen-year-old boy whose early career included performing on stage with CYT Atlanta.

In the last couple of months Jonathan has been interviewed by Mediabistro.com and Atlanta Magazine. This week Pointofview.net reprinted an article on Jonathan that was featured in The New York Times, “The Little Mr. Conservative”. The full article ran in the Fashion & Style section, and was published on March 6th. The following are some excerpts.

On his talk show hosting:

“SITTING in the back seat of his mother’s van as she drives through Atlanta suburbs, Jonathan Krohn is about to sign off with a conservative radio talk show host in Florida. In the 40 minutes he’s been on the air, with the help of his mother’s cellphone, this hyper-articulate Georgia eighth grader has attacked the stimulus bill, identified leaders he thinks will salvage the Republican Party’s image, and assessed the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate….The show’s host chuckles and asks whether President Obama has called Jonathan ‘a little fascist.’…’The president hasn’t come after me yet,’ Jonathan says chummily, ‘but we’ve had other people come after me!’”

On “Define Conservatism”:

“The family said Jonathan paid to have the book published with his own savings, earned from writing and performing on a syndicated radio Bible show for children….His father made a spreadsheet of their contacts for publicity, and then Jonathan went to work, glad-handing. He already had developed poise, as he put it, ‘during the 20 or 30 productions I was in during my acting career” — he’d performed in Christian Youth Theater plays and regional shows.’”
