Just hours\u200d later, the presidents of three prestigious universities, known for their recent anti-Semitic activism, embarrassed themselves on national television. They stumbled over a simple\u2062 question about whether calling for Jewish genocide on campus is acceptable. One \u2063of the presidents, Liz Magill of Penn, resigned in disgrace, and the \u2063fallout continues.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2063 the\u2064 eyes of the anti-Trump\u200c #Resistance, Cheney has become\u200b an icon, adored by journalists and \u200cliberal activists. These are the same people who instinctively defended\u2064 the university \u200bpresidents, not \u2064out of ideological conviction, but out of \u2064a compulsion to\u200c oppose Republicans. They seized on the\u2062 presidents&#8217; remarks as evidence\u2063 of moral decay in elite higher education. Cheney argues \u200din <em>Oath and Honor<\/em> that any differences \u200cbetween normal Americans and these radical\u2064 intellectuals are insignificant. The focus should be on defeating Donald Trump \u200bin 2024, as she believes it is &#8220;the cause of \u200dour\u2062 time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A #Resistance Icon<\/h3>\n<p>Liz Cheney, a former congresswoman from Wyoming \u2062and the daughter of neocon \u200dfigure Dick Cheney, has gained fame within the #Resistance for her repeated attacks on Trump. She voted to impeach him twice, particularly for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021,\u2064 Capitol Hill rampage. In her memoir, \u2064Cheney\u2062 recounts the\u2063 events leading up \u200bto that \u200dday and her \u200befforts to defend the republic as vice-chair of the House select committee investigating the attack. She also reflects on her unsuccessful reelection campaign in 2022, where she lost to a Trump-backed opponent by a \u2063significant margin.<\/p>\n<p>The book, however, can be a tedious read, filled with block quotes from congressional\u200c statements, memoranda,\u200b and court rulings. Cheney tries to inject drama into the \u2063bureaucratic mechanics of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-introduce-bills-defending-female-athletes-and-parental-rights\/\" title=\"Republicans Introduce Bills Defending Female Athletes and Parental Rights\">congressional committee work<\/a>, \u200bdescribing her efforts to gather evidence against Trump. But the result is less\u200d than riveting.<\/p>\n<h3>The Target Audience<\/h3>\n<p><em>Oath and Honor<\/em> primarily appeals to Beltway journalists and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/advancing-equity-and-inclusion-in-a-deep-turd-world-what-i-learned-at-the-bloomberg-equality-summit\/\" title=\"\u2018Advancing Equity and Inclusion in a Deep Turd World\u2019: What I Learned at the Bloomberg Equality Summit\">extremely online liberals<\/a> who are still recovering from the political turmoil of the past few years. These are the people who obsessively followed the Jan. 6 committee hearings, the Robert Mueller investigation, and other political dramas.\u200c They are already familiar with the details and\u200c have read the strategically \u200ctimed \u2064leaks. They know about the GOP congressman who referred to Trump as\u2063 &#8220;Orange Jesus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s book is not lacking in melodrama.\u200b She repeatedly emphasizes the high stakes for the country and the\u2062 assault \u2063on \u200bconstitutional safeguards by Trump. She quotes Abraham Lincoln extensively and compares Jan. 6 to the 9\/11 attacks on multiple \u200doccasions. The self-aggrandizement \u2064is on brand\u200d for the #Resistance genre, with Cheney including quotes from individuals praising her heroism and noble sacrifice.<\/p>\n<h3>A \u2064Missed Opportunity for Reflection<\/h3>\n<p>Like other #Resistance memoirists, Cheney fails to consider that Trump\u200b and his \u2063support from millions of Americans are symptoms of a larger societal issue.\u2063 She does not contemplate the implications of her alarmist \u200drhetoric. If \u2063America truly cannot survive another Trump presidency, what actions would be justified to prevent it? Cheney\u2064 does not explore this question.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to support a \u2062#Resistance martyr, you might find more interesting tidbits in former Rep. \u200dAdam Kinzinger&#8217;s memoir, <em>Renegade<\/em>. It also quotes Lincoln excessively but offers insights into Kinzinger&#8217;s military career and\u2063 his seventh-grade experience \u2062of \u200cstolen valor.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u2062 any criticisms, Cheney&#8217;s book is selling well. In its first week, it outsold \u200cBritney Spears&#8217;s memoir. However, it&#8217;s easy\u200d to imagine that many copies of <em>Oath and Honor<\/em> \u200dwill \u2063end up\u200d in the trash on Christmas Day,\u2062 sent as spiteful gifts \u2064from liberals to\u2063 their Trump-supporting relatives.<\/p>\n<p><em>Oath and Honor<\/em> is available for $22.74 on Amazon, or\u2063 you could opt for a 16-pound bag of Kingsford charcoal for less \u200bthan half the \u200bprice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning<\/em> by Liz Cheney<br \/>\nLittle, Brown, 384 pp., $32.50<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How have Liz Cheney&#8217;s political\u2064 motivations and alliance with the #Resistance raised questions about her true conservative principles, according to some\u200b conservatives<\/h2>\n<p><span>  He Mueller investigation, read every tweet from @realDonaldTrump, and attended multiple Women&#8217;s \u2064Marches. They already despise Trump and view \u200bCheney as \u2064a hero\u200d for speaking \u2062out\u2064 against him. Cheney&#8217;s \u200dbook reinforces their preexisting beliefs and provides them with\u200b a sense of\u2063 validation.<\/p>\n<p>However, it \u200cis unlikely that \u200b<em>Oath\u200c and Honor<\/em> will sway the \u200copinions of those \u2064who support Trump or \u200care more conservative in \u200ctheir political views. The book is heavily biased against the former president and portrays\u2064 him\u2062 as a threat to democracy and\u2062 the rule of law. Cheney&#8217;s insistence on defeating Trump in 2024\u200c is unlikely \u200dto resonate with\u2063 these individuals, who \u2063often\u200b view Trump as a champion of their values and policies.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, while \u200bCheney presents herself as a Republican conservative in her memoir, her alliance\u2064 with the #Resistance has raised questions about\u200b her true\u200d political motivations. \u2064Some conservatives argue that she is more interested in\u200b maintaining her \u2064relevance and\u200c capitalizing \u2062on the\u200c anti-Trump\u200d sentiment than in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/speakership-fight-makes-house-gop-look-messy-and-scares-donors-warns-conservative-commentator\/\" title=\"Conservative commentator warns House GOP appears disorganized and frightens donors due to Speakership dispute.\">advancing conservative ideals<\/a>. \u200bCheney&#8217;s opposition\u2064 to Trump has put her at odds with many members of her own party and has even led to her removal\u200b from leadership positions\u2064 in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p><h3>The University Scandal<\/h3>\n<p>As Liz Cheney&#8217;s\u200b memoir is released, \u200dthe scandal at the \u200cprestigious universities continues to make headlines. The president&#8217;s inability to condemn anti-Semitic statements on campus \u2063has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-biden-admin-gave-taliban-list-of-american-citizens-green-card-holders-and-afghan-allies-that-needed-to-get-into-airport-report\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Biden Admin Gave Taliban List Of\u00a0\u2018American Citizens, Green Card Holders And Afghan Allies\u2019 That Needed To Get Into Airport: Report\">sparked widespread outrage<\/a> and calls for accountability. It showcases the growing trend of ideological extremism in higher education, where radical ideas are celebrated and dissenting voices are silenced.<\/p>\n<p>The universities involved in the scandal must take immediate action to address the issue\u200c and restore confidence in \u200ctheir institutions. This includes implementing stricter policies to \u200cprevent hate speech, promoting diversity of thought, and fostering an\u2062 inclusive environment for all students. The presence of anti-Semitic views on\u200c campus not only undermines the values of\u200d education but also threatens the safety and well-being \u2063of Jewish students and faculty.<\/p>\n<p>The scandal highlights the need for a broader conversation\u2062 about the state \u2063of higher\u2064 education in America. It raises questions about academic freedom, ideological bias, \u2063and the \u200brole of\u2064 universities in shaping \u2062the minds of future leaders. The universities involved must\u2063 reevaluate their commitment to intellectual diversity and ensure that\u200b all viewpoints\u200b are welcome and respected on campus.<\/p>\n<p>While Senator Cheney&#8217;s memoir may not directly address the university scandal,\u2062 the timing of its release \u2062serves as \u2064a reminder of the importance of preserving democratic values and combating extremism in all its \u200dforms. Through her outspoken opposition to Trump and her call for unity, Cheney is urging Americans \u200cto come together and defend the principles \u200cthat\u2064 make our democracy strong.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200c conclusion, the release of Liz Cheney&#8217;s memoir, <em>Oath and Honor: \u200cA Memoir and a \u200dWarning<\/em>,\u200b amidst\u200c the university scandal provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the state of our politics and education system. The book, although primarily \u200cappealing to #Resistance supporters, serves \u200bas a call to action for all Americans\u2063 to stand up against hatred, extremism, and the erosion of\u2064 democratic values. \u200cIt reminds us that our shared commitment to\u200c freedom, justice, and equality is what\u2062 truly unites us as a\u2063 nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liz Cheney&#8217;s ill-timed release of her anti-Trump memoir, &#8220;Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning,&#8221; coincided with a regrettable moment on national TV.
