— We agree about the Cheneys.
As I said in citing the litany of long-time consistent conservatives as to ideology and morality, I disagree with them on pretty much all of the main issues of ideology and morality and that does not change just because they did the bare minimum in deciding not to support a direct attack on our constitutional democratic republic and its norms.
Of course, support for endless wars to enrich the “defense contractors” of the military-industrial complex is a long-standing principle basic to conservatism, going back to Nixon’s sabotage of the LBJ Vietnam war peace talks right before the 1968 election (look up Nixon, Vietnam War and Chennault Affair, which was kept secret under seal for fifty years and just released in 2018) and then extending the war needlessly another seven years, to Reagan’s invasion of Grenada to distract from his failure to prevent the Beirut bombing, to the Bush/Cheney wars of choice in Afghanistan and Iraq.
