I have bad news for the progressives currently beguiled by Liz Cheney

95. The idea that a "powerful" USA is essential for worldwide political stability has more than one aspect.

The USA as a powerful friend of justice and a champion for human rights is a proud and worthwhile ideal. A noble "shining city on a hill".
However, a powerful "friend" who maintains their power on the backs of the poor and limits spreading the security of wealth to the racially/socially acceptable is a friend to only the wealthy and a scourge to justice.

How naive are people like Liz Cheney must be to believe they are doing the will of the nation's founders while defending and promoting economic policies which enable brutal dictatorships around the globe. They refuse to connect the lines of observable fact which clearly show how totalitarianism is financed by profits gained by the already wealthy, ignoring evidence and denying the existence of gross injustice as the source of that wealth. Just as the simplest and coarsest items are the basic elements of any construction, slave labor is the basis of the global economy. It has been so since the onset of conquest and the dissemination of usury and compound interest onto an unsuspecting world.

People like that are never good for America nor is their ideal a reflection of respect for true power. Their sort of power is death to the progress of humanity. That's why they're call conservatives. Like undertakers, they conserve the already dead.
