Your broad brush comment about the right not caring about human rights. pretty obviously...... No, I was talking about the foreign policy establishment types. The last serious effort to include human rights concerns in American foreign policy was Jimmy Carter's efforts. The Reagan and Bush I efforts were clearly only national interest concerns. One can debate for some time about Clinton. I argue that Bosnia, Kosovo, and Haiti, at a minimum, were based on human rights concerns. In fact, though I can't find it right now, someone, perhaps Kissinger, argued that (a) it was liberal and left wing and all those other bad things folly to incorporate human rights concerns into US foreign policy; and (b) it was irresponsible to do anything other than the most limited definition of the national interest.
