The times I have seen him on tv or videos I cannot believe that he is being considered a serious candidate. To this British leftist the man seems deranged!jams o donnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-6011615418441627782011-12-23T00:07:18.359-06:002011-12-23T00:07:18.359-06:00Ron Paul is not &quot;isolationist&quot;. North Korea is an example of isolationism and is nothing like what Ron Paul wants for America. From the wikipedia article on non interventionism: <i>&quot;Nonintervention is distinct from isolationism, the latter featuring economic nationalism (protectionism) and restrictive immigration. Proponents of non-interventionism distinguish their policies from isolationism through their advocacy of more open national relations, to include diplomacy and free trade.&quot;</i><br /><br />Neither protectionism nor restrictive immigration are characteristics of Ron Paul&#39;s policy positions.<br /><br />It strikes me as profoundly silly that being agreed with by Ron Paul prompts people who regard themselves as liberal to flee from him to the all the way to the right wing model of a United States that swaggers around the world poking its military forces into other nations on a whim or to protect campaign contributor interests (read: sources of oil).MrDamagehttp://misterdamage.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
