When Lyndon Johnson wanted to send hundreds of thousands of troops to Vietnam, he said we couldn’t afford to be “isolationists.”

“Isolationism” is just a slur that simply means, “you don’t support the war I want the U.S. to engage in.”

I’ll be you, Servant, don’t support invading Cuba, or China, or Vietnam, or North Korea. Does that make you an isolationist? Only in the view of somebody who supports those invasions.

It’s a meaningless term, except as a term of abuse - and Rand Paul is an “isolationist,” only in the minds of people who want to wage wars that he doesn’t support.

If it is such a "meaningless term", how come Rand and his libertarian devotees so vigorously and vehemently protest about it?

Cheney: Rand Paul ‘Basically an Isolationist’ (this was in June, but it's a big issue now because it's "polling" badly with ISIS and so Rand must disassemble & scramble)
