Foaming-at-the-Mouth Isolationists
December 17, 2014
Ron Paul was smeared as an “isolationist” (the equivalent to “devil worshipper” in D.C.-speak) for advocating the quintessentially anti-isolationist Jeffersonian foreign policy of peace and free trade with all nations, entangling alliances with none.
Now the exact same people who for years have attempted to slander him as an “isolationist,” led by Marco Rubio, are going nuts over the fact that Obama has proposed becoming slightly LESS ISOLATIONIST toward Cuba. Who are the real isolationists here, anyway?
