<\/a>Self-proclaimed \"Machiavellian\"<\/strong><\/p>

From Eric Dondero:<\/p>

Known for her extreme libertine views on social matters, Lady Gaga has now come out of the closet as a military hawk. <\/p>

From Forbes<\/a> this morning:<\/p>

Lady Gaga, the music industry phenomenon, is surprisingly hawkish in her views on foreign policy. In an exclusive interview, at a café around the corner from her parents’ Upper West Side apartment, she laments what she terms “the pathetic U.S. policy on Iran.”<\/p>

“They support terrorist groups, ferment trouble in Iraq, and are building a nuclear bomb. And what do we do? Nothing. Not that we do anything about North Korea either. Why are we so spineless?”<\/p><\/blockquote><\/blockquote>

She goes on to add:<\/p>

Influential liberals like Alec Baldwin may want you to think that celebrities are liberals, but I get a big crowd at my monthly [Prussian War General] Carl von Clausewitz reading group.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

And stunningly she takes a jab at the Queen of Celebrity Liberals:<\/p>

Interviewer:“Oprah? But she’s a well-known supporter of President Obama.” <\/p>

Gaga's response: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” Gaga replies, “Have you not read Machiavelli?”<\/p><\/blockquote>

Though, admittedly little if anything is known about her economic views, allowing herself to be interviewed by the economic libertarian publication Forbes sends a good signal. <\/p>
