Quote:Isolationist
The term isolationist is most often used negatively; few people who share its beliefs use it to describe their own foreign policy perspective. They believe in "America first." For them, national sovereignty trumps international relations. Many unions, libertarians, and anti-globalization protesters share isolationist tenets.
Isolationists…
Are wary of US involvement in the United Nations
Oppose international law, alliances, and agreements
Believe the US should not act as a global cop
Support trade practices that protect American workers
Oppose liberal immigration
Oppose American imperialism
Desire to preserve what they see as America's national identity and character
Historical isolationist: President Calvin Coolidge
Modern isolationist: Author/Commentator Pat Buchanan
Same here I could give a fuck about the rest of the world. The US should stay the hell out of other country's affairs. Bring all of the troops home and start protecting our borders first and foremost.
Toss the UN out on their asses and stop all foreign aid. Get back to the Constitutional mandates, no more, no less.
Any politician that does not agree should be given a trial for treason and hung when found guilty.
The spooks come out at night.
