Re: Tightwad isolationist Republicans.
Yeah, and how we need them today but they are as long gone as the Confederacy. The Robert Taft wing of the early 1950's was openly (and correctly) isolationist but Nixon as VP was a globalist of the current variety.

Here is one thing that I think happened: The conservatives came to realize that the left was internationalist literally by definition and that to effectively counter international socialism and labor movements they had better forge alliances with conservative movements around the world. While Trotskyists and Stalinists all over the world were still fighting over grievances that had begun in the 1920's or earlier Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher were showing conservatives all over the world new ways to truly destroy the left in their own countries and globally by cooperation.
