    Republicans loved her and made her the 3rd highest ranking member of their party. The only thing that changed was she wouldn't kneel before their false prophet Trump. She chose her morals over keeping the status quo, and they vilified her for it. I'm not sure they see the irony.

    Well if you don't think she's a hero to the left, I refer you to the thread title.

    Feel free to do that, but I don't see how one person's opinion translates to "the left" as whole. Democrats are pretty much guaranteed to vote for their own candidate rather than a Republican one. Independents might pull for Cheney, but that can only happen if she made it through the primaries, which is very unlikely given the fact that Independents don't have a say in it in many States, like Florida. No one who crossed Trump will be allowed to succeed in GOP primaries.

    Dude, an anarchist is authoritarian...The opposite of libertarian or conservative. People other than you who call themselves anarchist or are anarchist (not you reacting to their political ideology by calling them anarchist) and also call themselves libertarian are deluded.:roll:

    Figure it out, just once.

    You continue to demonstrate your confusion about definitions

    Anarchy = absence or nonrecognition of authority.

    The obvious ridiculousness of your assertion here is simply laughable. Ask every democrat...

    Liz Cheney has a 9 percent backing of the GOP...I deduce this because of a recent poll about Biden's popularity which produces a percentage stating the country is going in the right direction and then 9 additional percentage points stating Biden is doing a great job (this 9 percent, I surmise, are neocons who despise Trump)

    Cheney has to realize she won't win the presidential primary for the GOP. She must run as an independent. She doesn't have the backing of the GOP 'cause the GOP is the most conservative it has been since Reagan...Trump was the most conservative president since Reagan.

    Meh. Liz is way too much in love with capitalism for most dems. She is, however, just as authoritarian as most dems. Another thing which binds progressives and neocons together is their hatred of Trump.

    Not even the Jan. 6 committee can fabricate that scenario. Your post is misinformation.

    That's a funny way to spell "literally true." Someone still hasn't read the Eastman memo . . . or researched this at all . . . or is capable of acknowledging basic facts.

    You didn't say at the head of the table? And what about the guy on the OTHER side of Congressman Thompson, with him AT THE CENTER and ELEVATED it sure looks like he's the "HEAD" to me. 8)

    Pat Buchanan is the head of the American Conservative Union. Buchanan worked in the Nixon White House.
    Buchanan and his ilk consider all conservatives to be right-winged. Your reference that American Conservative Union backs Liz Cheney is bogus 'cause American Conservative Union's definition of conservative is bogus, er, what's bogus is ACU's contention that all conservatives are right-winged (just like it's bogus to contend all right-wingers are conservative)...Just ask any civil libertarian...A civil libertarian would call many incorrectly labelled right-winged conservatives like Liz Cheney fascists, er, authoritarian.

    LOL. If adding 8 trillion to debt in 4 yrs, lying, attacking free press, spewing profanities, adding massive import taxes, ridiculing disabled people, rejecting democratic elections, resorting to personal attacks / childish insults and never ending whining is "conservative" then yes, he was very conservative.

    He was a "populist authoritarian".

    Since Gandi didn't recognize British authority in India, for example, was Gandi an anarchist?

    Yes. We know you love capitalism.:roll: Neocons like you don't realize that lefties can also be libertarian, er, conservative. You realize your post is an authoritarian post? You know, you can't be considered conservative spouting these authoritarian whims.

    Was the American patriot during the Revolutionary War an anarchist?
