Isolationist Non-interventionist get real they are exactly the same thing.

Slice it any way you want. On some things the man is a lunatic. Now the fact that he is really a libertarian running as a republican may explain most of that. but he is no means conservative

So you SUPPORT stationing troops in 170 countries around the world? At OUR expense? Providing a MASSIVE subsidy to trade competitors so that they can spend THEIR money on subsidizing THEIR INDUSTRIES instead of paying for and maintaining their own defense? Why? And WHERE is the authority for this granted to government in the Constitution?

No, you haven’t a CLUE as to foreign policy. And, no, isolationism and non-intervention are NOT the same thing at all. You are either misinformed or lying to yourself and trying to lie to me. I can’t say which.

As for “conservative,” Ron Paul is more in tune with CONSERVING the Constitution and the Republic than you could ever HOPE to be, what with your “knowledge” and priorities.

Oh, good grief. This is sad. Here is the truth, via wordnet.

isolationism n : a policy of nonparticipation in international economic and political relations

nonintervention n : a foreign policy of staying out of other countries' disputes

Pretty simple. Noninterventionists are against getting involved in other countries conflicts, and isolationists are against having any relations with other countries of any kind, including trading with them. That you think they are the same is simply amazing. They are actually almost exact opposites considering just how hard it is to have real relations with other nations, and certainly any which are beneficial to us, when we are always at war with half of them.
