I'm sick of reading your boiler plate crap. You write so many words and say so little. Why don't you define Isolationism ? Just what does that term mean to you ? Once you do that, we can ferret out just who advocates what.

For all those who hate America Firsters like Pat, read what this commie idiot had to say.

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS

Pertinent passages start at 32. Here's a sample:

The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.
