Protectionist & Isolationist--Two terms coined by GWB to justify selling out America, and excuse sticking our nose where it doesn't belong. Minding our own business for a change would be refreshing... |

Like I said, Ron Paul does have an excellent stance on the 2nd, but is a frigging douche on the other issues. Sticking your head in the sand has been shown not to work.
