What is conservatism? That's a question we've sought to answer before here at The Relevant Elephant. And now, a new book has been written trying to answer the same question. It was penned by a fellow young conservative... a really young conservative.

Jonathan Krohn is the 13-year-old author of Define Conservatism. The book was released last fall, and it earned him a speaking spot at the recent conservative convention called CPAC. Here is his two-minute speech:

What led him to write the book? Assuming it's not to get a 22-year head start on a run for president, he said it's because "too many people threw the word conservative around who didn't understand what they were talking about. They didn't understand it as a base of principle, but they understood it as a base of policy."

"Conservatism isn't an ideology of feelings or romanticism. It's an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights."
