[Ashton] Kutcher on Entrenched Monopolies and Regulatory Bullying
Independent Women's Forum ^ | 11 February 2014 | Abby Schachter

He’s handsome, he’s funny and he’s (finally) dating a woman his own age. But those aren’t the reasons to hail Ashton Kutcher as the best celebrity. He wins the prize because of what he said to Jimmy Kimmel last week. The late-night host asked Kutcher to discuss his many business dealings and in response offered a succinct and important critique of all that is wrong with big government.

I’ve got a feeling he’s going to be running for something real soon.

What’s funny about this guy is he’s been giving speeches espousing conservative principles, but when asked about it he denies he’s a conservative or his speeches are about conservative principles. In other words, he’s an accidental conservative.

He’s just trying to avoid being flamed by his Hollywood peers.

If he keeps talking like that, the only thing Ashton will be running for will be the California-Nevada border with a posse of Hollywood libtards carrying tar and feathers in hot pursuit!

His virtual father-in-law used to be Bruce Willis, so we know where he got it.

FROM THE ARTICLE: But his dissertation on opportunity is worth highlighting. He was offering the audience and his fans “insider secrets to keeping your career going” that he said he hoped would help those listening. “I believe opportunity looks a lot like hard work,” Kutcher declared. (Take that President Obama who is now arguing that people losing their job is actually liberating.) Kutcher continued: “I’ve never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a stepping stone to my next job. And I never quit my job until I had my next job. And so opportunities look a lot like work.”

i think you are right about bis being an accidental conservative...

When someone marries your ex wife I don’t believe that makes you his Father in Law, virtual or any other way.

Bruce and Demi have a really weird relationship. Demi is an insane nymphomaniac. He and Ashton were best buds while Ashton was married to her. My bet is that Bruce made a business deal with Ashton to be married to Demi for a certain amount of time, and that when Ashton fulfilled his contractual obligation he moved on.

That is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to intelligent and erudite to be coming from Kutcher.

I said the same thing about Jessica Simpson (Her thinking Chicken of the Sea was chicken, not tuna fish), and I was scolded by my wife because she’s got some sort of clothing business that’s supposedly very successful, and that she just plays the part of the blonde who’s dumber than a bag of hammers because that’s what people expect based on optics.

In Ashton’s case, my bet is he’s a closet Conservative but he can’t fully “come out” of the closet because he’s not one of the mega money makers (thus don’t have the axe over their heads) like John Wayne or Bob Hope was, or Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Gibson is now.

I bet there are a lot more closet conservatives in hollywood, but fear having their careers ended by bosses like harvy SWINEstein.
