CPAC: An Experience For Everybody

Posted by Jaime Hahn | Mar 2, 2018 | Campus Life, Conservatism |

This past week the famous conservative gathering, Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, was held on the outskirts of Washington D.C. As a first time attendee, the conference provided me and others with many different experiences that helped grow our conservative and patriotic hearts. The Speakers Probably the most exciting of these experiences, especially for the new attendees, was the speakers. CPAC hosted speakers like Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Ben Shapiro, and Devin Nunes. Though these public figures remain all prominent draws for people on the right, each of these men had very different messages. For instance, Vice President Pence...

Prayer is Still Powerful

Posted by Jaime Hahn | Feb 16, 2018 | Pop-Culture, Religion, Society |

Prayer is a highly contested topic when school shooting tragedies occur. The functionality of prayer is perhaps only second to actual gun control discussion. Tweets go back and forth between the left and the right stating ideas like “prayer doesn’t solve anything” or how prayer is exactly what these situations require. Christians are not told to judge those in the world by Christian standards. Therefore, we should not be manipulating anyone into prayer. Why then do those who are not religious feel the need to be intolerant toward those who do pray? The Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians...

Are Tomi Lahren and Nikki Haley comparable role models?

Tomi Lahren and Nikki Haley pose two drastically different images of politically right-leaning women. How anyone can view Lahren as a role model is beyond me. Yesterday, a video posted on her Instagram story showed Lahren calling Joe Kennedy a “limp d*ck.” This was following his response to the State of the Union Address given by President Trump. There were a lot of things wrong with Kennedy’s speech, however, for Lahren to put on such a dramatic display because she disagrees with someone, is embarrassing. Lahren became famous through One America News, and that pretty much summarizes who she...

Why Conservatives Should Embrace Conflict

Posted by Jaime Hahn | Jan 25, 2018 | Campus Life, Education |

Conflict. Most people fear this. Those of us who are non-confrontational freeze when someone disagrees with us, and some of us even run the other direction. However, conservatives must view conflict as something we can benefit from rather than seeking to avoid it. It strengthens our arguments When conservatives engage in discussions or arguments about different values, it strengthens our own viewpoints. Disagreement helps build your ability to argue logically, and forces you to improve your researching abilities. The better researched an argument is, the more confidently you can present it, and the more authority it carries. It brings our ideas...

Three Secular Reasons for Being Pro-Life

Posted by Jaime Hahn | Jan 18, 2018 | Abortion, Law |

A lot of pro-lifers, myself included, come to the movement through the path of religion. However, there are many people who oppose abortion for purely secular or practical reasons. In order to have useful discussion with dissenters, it’s important to have reasons other than religious beliefs for choosing life. Here are just three examples of non-religious ideals or beliefs people can hold that may lead them to choose life. 1. Each Person’s Intrinsic Value The anti-bullying movement, which is largely heralded and controlled by the left, has successfully earned the emotional support of the nation. A big part of this is promoting...
