Celebrities people find Libertarian but you personally don't

[4est_4est_Gump]

Robert Taylor at Policy Mic has a list of “9 Extremely Successful People You Never Knew Were Libertarians”. Regular Reason readers should be familiar with all ten (yes, there are ten people on the list of nine people), though some may dispute whether everyone on the list is actually a libertarian. Here are the ten people Taylor highlighted with a relevant Reason item for each. You can decide who belongs and who might not in the comments…

1. Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn on Ron Paul and Fountainhead – Brian Doherty

2. Glenn Jacobs, a.k.a. Kane

Kane on Rothbard – FBN’s The Independents

3. Jimmy Wales

Wikipedia and Beyond – June 2007 issue of Reason

4. Neil Peart

Matt Welch is a libertarian in good standing even though he doesn’t like Peart’s drumming

5. Julian Assange

The Age of Easy Leaks – Jesse Walker

6. Kurt Russell

Kurt Russell, Flexible Libertarian – O’Reilly Factor transcript excerpt

7. Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson Endorses Ron Paul – Mike Riggs

A list of nine with ten people on it.
I see they are almost as good at math as you are Cap'n.

Now why the fuck should anyone give two shits if a celebrity is a Libertarian, Republican, or Democrat for that matter?

U_D, you're on ignore, you know you're on ignore and I'll wager you wandered into a parody thread looking for a fight with one of your evil enemies...


Your are such great proof of many things that I have been saying the past three weeks about Democrats and "reading."

As I've pointed out numerous times Cap'n. I don't give a shit if you have me on ignore. Your inability to face anyone with a differing opinion is well known here.

I'm not talking TO you, just pointing and laughing because you've become what Dizzybooby has been for well over a decade, a running joke.

Now play victim some more.

How did Grafton come to this? About 15 years ago, a prominent Libertarian hatched the idea of moving Libertarians to New Hampshire, with the hope of having a big impact in a small state. They called it the Free State Project, and a handful of Free Staters settled in Grafton.

O'Reilly was surprised by how quickly Free Staters started pushing their agenda.

"Almost seems as if they walked in the door and started running for office and hold positions," she says. "It's not the typical way someone who's a New Englander does things."

Free Staters say Grafton should withdraw from the school district, cut the $1 million budget by 30 percent over three years, and carve Grafton out as a "U.N.-free zone."

Tony Stelick, a Free Stater who lived in Poland under the boot of Stalinism, remembers a government that slowly gained more and more power. He says locals who oppose Free Staters are unwittingly voting themselves towards fascism.

"They don't know where they going," Stelick says. "I been there. I know where they going."

Even though Grafton has always had a Libertarian streak, Free Staters are a minority and locals have mostly blocked their agenda. Still, Free Stater Jeremy Olson is confident they could shift the balance if they reach out to locals.

"I think most of the people in town are actually supportive of small government," he says.
