Why do the Cheneys hate America so much?

I watched all of Liz Cheney's jingoistic crap I could tolerate on "This Week." This family has only one solution for Americans as a nation--war. I realize, of course, that the family fortunes are closely tied to the security industries, but for pity's sake, give us a break.

listening to her was painful. Everything she said was exactly backwards; but she is true to gop talking points and can say them with a straight so she gets the "come set on my panel" call.

No diplomacy, all of that is "weakness" it's just oppress other people with our huge military might.

ever viewed America through except one of a militaristic nation? There are people who only see military solutions for any problem and that's how Cheney sees the U.S. That's the America he loves.

where the very rich ruled, they were not taxed, servitude was appropriate for all but, again, the very rich. The Cheney's wealth relies, primarily, on defence contracts and oil, oil that is found in countries they wish to control hence the militaristic rhetoric.
