I can respect your post. If you favor isolationism and just come out and say it... I totally respect it. I may disagree with it, but I respect your opinion.

If you favor isolationism, and then argue that it isn't isolationsism..... it's just "justice." Well... how can anyone respect that?

I'm not an isolationist. I don't believe in just sitting on the sideline. Not in world politics, not in local politics, and not in my personal life. Sorry if I offend you.

Globalists offend me. We, here are the opposite of Globalists; we are patriots, which is the diametric opposite of Globalism. The new political paradigm and this election and the 21st century is about one thing: Globalism versus Patriotism. Thanks for letting us know where you stand.

Why are you here? I am sure there are United Nations and WTO and Internationalists/Soros-sponsored forums where you'd find your fellow travelers.

You must have missed this:

“If you are a NeverTrump type person, you are working against our purposes on FR, so please opus out now and log off and let us carry on with our mission in peace.

Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.”

America was never "isolationist." That lie--and it is a lie--was hatched after the Americans who opposed the League of Nations won an almost two year debate with the Wilsonian internationalists--a great victory for Conservative American values.

But at no time did we not trade with the world; travel in the world; interact on a friendly basis with all who were friendly; respect all who showed us reciprocal respect. All of that is quite different from surrendering any part of the independence, won on the battlefield & recognized in the Treaty of Paris 1783.

There is an obvious moral issue raised by those who postulate our meddling in the internal affairs of other nations; an even greater moral issue in whether or when American politicians should advocate risking the lives & limbs of young Americans in conflicts where the immediate interests of America are not involved.

It is sheer demagoguery to label people who understand the moral issues involved as "isolationists."
