In reply to the discussion: Liz Cheney's smug, self-satisfied con job: Don't fall for it - Salon [View all]Novara
(5,841 posts)... people can't understand that it's OK to admire and despise the same person. Cheney is doing a service to America and possibly tanking her career for it. That garners respect - or at least it should.
Her political positions are every single thing I work against and I have no respect for her from a political standpoint; however, her patriotism and service to the country should be respected. The fact that she won't have much of a political career to salvage is all right with me as well. Idealogues like her are dangerous for Americans. The job she is now doing is good for America the country, but her political positions make her bad for Americans, the people.
I tend to rail against binary thinking. She isn't all good or all bad. She is both. Yet at the same time I can see not one redeeming feature in the orange fuck. I DO see him as all bad, all the time. Some people are just wastrels.
