Ron Paul is not an isolationist. He is supportive of the radical concept of unilateral free trade and diplomancy. That is the polar opposite of isolationism. In this regard, he is more “internationalist” than the interventionists.

Free Trade is the very defintion of "Capitalism". I do not believe in free trade with those who enslave their populations or in MFN trading status for those Nations as a "carrot" to try and get them to reform.

I also have no problem with us selling arms and equipment to those fighting "the good fight", like Israel, where Dr. Paul would have us cut off all such dealings. He does have a point that we should not be dictating their policy for them nor should we be giving ANY other Nation "freebies".

I guess I still haven't forgiven Dr. Paul for standing on the same podium as Dougy Kookcinich.

He wants to bring every American soldier home from around the World and defend the country when the enemy gets to the door. That's not "isolationist"?

He's for open borders (after cutting the welfare incentives that draw illegals here...yeah, right).

Every time someone asks him about abortion, his eyes glaze over and starts babbling about "less government".

Ron Paul is Ralph Nader's gay lover.
