Ron can go back where he came from. Isolationism is insane in the modern world. We cannot ignore our enemies in the Middle East. They won’t go away if we leave.

Isolationism is the dirty word of Interventionism designed to be an "argument ender" by being an obstacle to clear thinking.

Contrary to the impression left by the term, America has and never will be a hermit Republic. It's the scorn word of Interventionism, hurled at those whom question their policies.

The more accurate word is Unilaterism. Unilaterism never means that the Unites States should, or for that matter could, sequester itself or pursue an ostrich-like policy toward all foreign countries. The message of George Washington's Farewell Address was to avoid permanent and entangling alliances to remain neutral in the World's Wars except when our Liberty was at risk.

These words do not isolate America from the world, they keep us Independent of the World. Washington admonished his contemporaries for trying to drag America into the Wars of the World. Interventionist policies are a great threat to Liberty, and America is about nothing if not the Preservation of Liberty.

Lastly, the term Isolationism suggests that, until modern preemptive policies have taken hold, America was void of Foreign Policy. This is a gross characterisation of the most successful Foreign Policy which America (while in the cross-hairs of Empires) grew from Thirteen Agrarian States on the Atlantic into a continent-wide nation that dominated the Hemisphere.

Luckily, at least one man on that stage knows this : )

Go Ron Go !!!

He is certainly not saying we should ignore them; quite the opposite, in fact.

They'll go away if we withdraw our troops then use Ohio-class submarines to mop up.
