How is he an isolationist?ron paul is kind of naive about issues of foreign policy.
I'd say he's an Isolationist.
Don't get me wrong, the idea of leaving everyone else alone sounds just wonderful, especially when they want our money. But isolating ourselves is a proven failure. And I hate being the world police, but even the nicest bar has a 300# black dude standing in the corner ready to put dumbasses on the street.
That's not a polite way to put things, but we need to have some military around the world ready to put dumbasses in the grave.
This never made any sense to me.
He'd be willing to openly trade with any nation on earth. He just parts ways when it comes to entangling alliances with them.
And jill, please stop with the "NOTHING worth fighting for" crap.
You know damn right well Paul would advocate war if it was necessary. He voted for Afghanistan in 2001.
When we practiced isolation, we still traded, we didn't isolate like Japan did.
Each time we isolated ourselves the world went batshitcrazy and things became harder and harder to handle once we became involved. WW 1 and 2, are perfect examples.
The UN is a hugh overstep, we dump that idea and ally with individual countries, we will be in great shape. Having no allies is just a stoopud idea at best.
Aside from this, I love Ron. Wish he lived here in PA, I'd like him to be our Gov.
