What would it take to make you think he's isolationist?

I don't think you've got an open mind on this one.

What I have in mind is a broader continuum. We have a continuum from shutting off the country on one hand to a one-world government on the other. If you call Paul an isolationist, what do you call, for example, the seriously trade averse that appear at globalization rallies, for example? You leave no space on the continuum for for the actual isolationists if you include Paul in that category.

But in the end, it's just semantic...

Brumar and Lane:

B>>: "Historically, isolationists have wanted to avoid getting into entangling alliances and the wars that go with them. They weren't necessarily opposed to international trade though."

Those are non-interventionists.

L>>:...what do you call, for example, the seriously trade averse that appear at globalization rallies, for example?

Those are protectionists.

Non-interventionism + protectionism = isolationism
