One of my history teachers said that History ends about 30 years ago, at a minimum. anything after that is too recent to be viewed objectively.

Levi’s hatred of anything that doesn’t fit in his worldview blinds him to the past. Indeed, compare VP Cheney’s interviews with Levi’s spittle soaked tirades, and you see what I mean.

oh wait, the idiot masses were wrong then too.

Levi, you lash yourself to popular opinion as if it proves something. You only illustrate your own ignorance in doing so.

Hitler was a popular guy in Germany. Hugo Chavez is popular in Venezuela. Bell bottoms and velour were popular in the 70′s.

Cheney will be remembered as a great vice president, but perhaps not until some of his unhinged detractors kick the bucket and some more objective minds are responsible for evaluating him.

So it’s all the liberals’ fault, huh? Gee, you’d think that if someone was truly amazing, no amount of ‘unhinged detractors’ could make a significant dent in that person’s reputation. Also, wouldn’t such an amazing man leave in his wake a record of unimpeachable accomplishment? I don’t see one of those anywhere…

Poor, victimized Dick Cheney. Poor, victimized Republicans. These liberals are just being so unfair, aren’t they?

If not, Cheney — who?

If not now, — when?

This is serious stuff. I believe Chaney is a very serious man and a true patriot. I say more power to him, I hope his health holds ups.

Cheney has always been willing to step up when there is an unpleasant job that has be done by someone.

#2: It isn’t an attack. It is a counter-attack. The current administration can’t operate on any level but “not Bush”. If this administration is going to start every day in that light, then the “is Bush” side needs to be heard.

#3: These are things that have to be said by someone. If Cheney really was evil and unprofessional, he would sit quietly as Obama ran the country off the cliff. He can’t abide that, and therefore has to at least say, “hey, there’s a cliff there — that’s why we didnt’ go that way before.”

And it appears that our former Veep hasn’t lost his power of intimidation, since no little-letter-people have dared to come on this thread and argue the contrary.

All I can say to the proud patriots above is “DITTO.”

Dick Cheney holds the unique position of “elder statesman.” He was thoroughly tarred and feathered by the left when he was in office. Now he has no reason to sit by and see his work further denigrated by the Obama administration.

If he wants to “set the record straight” and catch the Obama operators in their lies about the Bush Administration, I do not see that as a sign of disrespect. It is the Obama operators who are being disrespectful.

Bush is comfortable letting historians figure out his record. Clinton, on the other hand, circles the globe fabricating and embroidering the “history” of the Clinton Era. There is no reason for Bush or Cheney to get in a spitting contest over who got the allies mad at us. That is all playground bluster anyway. But no President or Vice-President should sit by and have his factual record lied about.

At a campaign rally in this Mississippi River town, Cheney spoke supportively about gay relationships, saying “freedom means freedom for everyone,” when asked about his stand on gay marriage.

“Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it’s an issue our family is very familiar with,” Cheney told an audience that included his daughter. “With the respect to the question of relationships, my general view is freedom means freedom for everyone. … People ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.

Sick and tired of them moving their lips – AKA lying about people.

Democrats have only themselves to blame for this intelligence embarrassment about to be unleashed upon them. They loved the leaks that hurt Bush, they will NOT like the onslaught about to break open on congressional dems, big time.
