Conservatives don't like the idea of setting up or manipulating other governments, but since the founding we have stated that our ideals are to stand with free people over tyrants. All it takes is moral support.

Moral support is fine. Sending arms to insurgents... not so much. Propping up dictators is something we're just as likely to do as we are in supporting uprisings.

So, it's not really about supporting freedom -- it's about supporting trade interests and military interests.
