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

The hardest thing usually to leave behind, as was the case now, can loosely be called Liz Cheney’s conscience. ~ Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.

A blast from the past – info only.

Progressive policies help no one

The lack of understanding illustrates among progressives of the limits on authority of our Constitution. The list of progressive accomplishments is a mixture of unconstitutional failures, massive wastes of taxpayer money and distinctly partisan legislation. The New Deal did not end the Great Depression, it prolonged it by a decade. WWII ended the Depression.

In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson switched his stand on women’s voting rights from objection to support, when he tied the amendment to America’s involvement in World War I. Wilson addressed the Senate in favor of suffrage: “I regard the extension of suffrage to women as vitally essential to the successful prosecution of the great war of humanity in which we are engaged.” 

Had there not been a war, there would not have been the women’s right to vote at that time. The amendment proposal passed in the Republican-controlled House but still failed in the Democrat-controlled Senate by two votes. Congress passed the 19th Amendment only after Republicans gained the majority in 1919. Ratification was held up by the Progressive Democrat Southern States until a tie vote was broken by a Republican in Tennessee. 

It appears that their opinion conflicts with the historical record.

The preamble of the Constitution does not give legislators license to ignore the limited and enumerated powers of Article I, Section 8.

The Jan. 6 protest by 100,000 people was not seditious or treasonous. Eleven unarmed people have been charged with seditious conspiracy, and no one has been charged with treason. No one was arrested for the numerous incidents of rioting and looting in Washington, D.C., during President Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2016.

Did the Liz Cheney’s Committee destroyed the videos of Jan6 – why?
