DAMNIT !

I think we need to start a campaign on "What's so bad about isolationism?" I know the immediate retort is going to be, "but we're non-interventionists". Yes! But hear me out:

I'm going to embrace the term "isolationist" (even though I'm more of a non-interventionist, but don't waste your efforts trying to argue the difference with neocons; their goal is not to make an impassioned argument—they just want to smear us).

Okay, so I'm an isolationist.
I'd rather not be bothered, and I don't want to bother anyone.
I'm no threat to you, and you're no threat to me.
We go about our lives never getting involved with anyone else, and never harming anyone else.
We don't make war.
We don't spend money that isn't ours.
We avoid business deals with bankers, politicians, or the mafia, because doing so is a threat to our sovereignty, and threatens our independence and well-being.

Feel free to think of other positive characteristics of isolationism. Repeat them over and over, until the 'sting' comes out of the word "isolationist." So that one day, when a neocon makes the comment to the masses that the Ron Paul folks are just 'isolationists', the reply of the people will be . . .

"So. fukin'. what.?"

And then the neocons no longer have ammo to use in the foreign policy debate. Their trump card, the "isolationist" card, will have been over-played and exhausted to the point of being ineffective propaganda.

the boston herald has a very large readership & the young kid is sympathetically front row and center in the article
with the deliberate stress on WHO is going to be actively part of the local GOP some 20 or 30 years into the future!
