The opposite of the Defn of "isolationist" is "interventionist", which pleases parasitic lobbyist constituencies no end. I have no problem with your Isolationist position per se. I think it is naive today. There is no way the American people will lock themselves up behind our borders. Once your toe is in the water, you have no choice but to get wet. How wet, for how long, is what we discuss as part of politics. I do think your "Secret Cabal" approach to politics will lead you astray. I accept, as my primary outlook on politics, that everyone is pursuing their own happiness.

Nothing in the Constitution allows running around the world poking superior military power into other sovereign countries, except in the case of absolutely verifiable threats. Would you mind directing me to the chapter and paragraph of the Constitution where that is explained. As I told my Israeli friends, after spending 1968 watching friends get blown up outside of Haifa, I'll fight to the death to defend my family and country, but not Israel or Saudi Arabia, etc., Now I get it...You want to decide when America goes to war. I totally understand your viewpoint now. You are pissed that nobody checked with you first to find out if you were willing to fight this one or not. You may not get your way, ever. We have a 200+ year history of taking the fight to our adversaries thereby eliminating the need to fight to the death here in America to defend our families.
