Farewell Ron Paul

Quote from jem:

I was concerned about Ron Pauls foreign policy because his isolationism may have worked if we had put it into place a long time ago... it seemed odd given the current state of the world.

Would Al Queda leave us alone if we all of sudden a President said we are isolationist now.

The would seem as naive as Obama thinking the world would love us now that he was President.

If you think Ron is isolationist then you don't understand what isolationism is.

so just what is "isolationism"?

Could you explain it to me?

Since you seem to know

Well it's rather complex.
So no I won't.
But I can assure you that Dr. Paul's philosophy isn't isolationist.
It's just non-interventionist which the commies and leftists confuse with isolationism.
 
There is a difference between non-intervention and isolation.

A very large difference.

Ron Paul had many flawed ideas - and in the end, he was just another career politician - but isolationism is not an accurate representation of his stated policies.

Career politician?
Wtf?
What's the matter with you people.
Define 'career politician'.
Someone who speaks his truth even if its an unpopular one?
Someone who practiced medicine for 20 years?
Jesus. You people either don't read or you just make shit up as you go along.

well that's good enough for me

I don't know what it is

And nobody can explain it to me

So next time

I am going to vote for the "Isolationist" party

I've already voted for all the rest, and look where that got me

When you vote Pub or Dem, for the most part, you are voting isolationist.
Obama, Bush (especially) et al, all were more isolationist than most understand.

I am doing the right thing?

Yes - career politician.

Isolationist - someone who doesn't start enough wars.
Non-interventionist - someone who only starts wars for "really good reasons".
