Somehow, that word is being applied to anyone who thinks giving our money away to other countries, and refusing to act as the world's policeman is a bad idea.

If that's the case, I'll proudly appropriate that word for myself.

I'm an isolationist.

Perhaps a more neutral term would be “political isolationist.” As an advocate of free trade, I’d happily embrace that term.

I think I know what you mean. Trade is one thing, intervention is quite another.

Especially intervening in the affairs of another country without a compelling national interest. (Ours, not theirs.)
