At What Age Do Men and Women Outgrow Libertarianism?

[Roger Bacon]

Ex-MTV VJ, Lisa Kennedy Montgomery: "If Rick Santorum and Rachel Maddow are both gunning for you, it probably means you’re on the right track."

Lisa Kennedy Montgomery is best known to a generation as, simply, Kennedy — the hip MTV VJ who helped introduce America to Nirvana and Soundgarden on  Alternative Nation, mimed oral sex on a mic during the 1994 VMAs — while standing next to Rudy Giuliani, no less — and eventually came out as a die-hard Republican. (In a ’94 Vanity Fair profile, she even declared her ardent love for former vice president Dan Quayle.)

Nearly 20 years later, the 41-year-old mother of two has left her wild-child past behind for a career as a writer, radio host, and Fox Business contributor. But while her political views haven’t really changed, the way she labels herself has: Kennedy now identifies as a libertarian. Her next project, a Fox Business roundtable called The Independents, will allow Kennedy and her co-hosts, Matt Welch and Kmele Foster, to tackle news from an angle that, in her mind, is both tough to find on TV and absolutely vital. “The reason our show exists is because the idea of a two-party system has failed,” she tells EW.

Hours before her new show’s big premiere, Kennedy called us up to chat about the evolution of her political views, what she’s hoping to achieve with The Independents, the glory days of MTV — and her thoughts on Miley’s infamous VMA performance.

I'm a dedicated anti populist centrist. All these wings are just mentally unbalanced. No matter how right wing or left wing your government is, there's a general max and min amount countries can get by on. Income tax levels are generally pretty even across westernized countries.  The far bigger concern is how efficient the spending of the tax dollar is. Both right and left seem to fail the second they get overly focused on pleasing the people or get influenced by a corrupting factor.

Very annoying fad indeed, like any other. It's appeal is psychologically interesting: it's something easy to get behind (who doesn't want freedom?); it's 'safe' because it's ideas appeal to both right and left so very oppose the philosophical basis; it appeals to anti-establishment sentiments (yea! fuck the system!); it may be personally liberating as it offers a worldview that may be personally appealing; it has a lot of apologists that write in its favor so there is a lot of 'intellectual backing' to the philosophy, etc. etc.

In other words it's appeal is not unlike a religious belief system

There's no changing that, it's the nature of the beast. The solution is massive tax cuts, take away governments ability to be so inefficient, let people take care of themselves with their money.

ObamaCare = game over for liberals, lefitsts, socialists, commies, etc

Yes because private has been proven to be so efficient for society

Like seriously how fucking gullible are you. Privatization only ever works when it's contained by a strong government force. If you don't contain it by some emotional reasoning your gonna loose out on all those potential benefits. 

It's not 1950 time has proven that a balanced approach is a necessity. Most supposed questions of left and right wing have been answered for us.

Property is Liberty
Property is Theft
Property is Impossible


Without private property there can be no private life.

What does the historical record indicate about the effects of large tax cuts on the US's fiscal situation?

I don't know what the last two conjuncts in your statement mean, so I can't comment any further.
