	Isolationism \| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
		Isolationism is not a political policy, it is a natural attitude of a people.
		As isolationism is a natural attitude of the people, so interventionism is a conceit of the political leader.
		About the only foreign policy consistent with the natural isolationism of a people would be one designed to prevent interference of a foreign power in the internal affairs of the country; that is, protection from invasion.

		Nor is this categorization of American isolationism as a phenomenon of the Right made in ignorance of the consistent position of Norman Thomas and the Socialist Party during that time, or of the non-interventionist programs of various other factions on the left.
		Indeed, from many in the academic world and in public life, isolationism is still a dirty word which conjures up images of an America turning its back, as signals of approaching war and genocide began to emanate from Europe.

	'Evil Isolationism' and the Destruction of the Iraqi Nation by Steven LaTulippe
		In a complex and challenging time, the road of isolationism and protectionism may seem broad and inviting — yet it ends in danger and decline.
		In reading both of these pieces, it is quite clear that the neocons (even a supposedly reformed one like Fukuyama), are not worried about the death, destruction, and mayhem, but are rather concerned about the possible resurgence of "isolationism" that may accompany their policy failure.
		The obvious immorality of our interventionist foreign policy should be an adequate argument for isolationism by itself, but the incompetent way interventionism has been executed adds even more weight to the criticism.

	PrawfsBlawg: In Defense of "Isolationism"
		I took "isolationism" to refer to the former, but you appear to be referring to the latter.
		The point is not that isolationism is a good thing, but rather that the term "isolationism" is used irresponsibly.
		I agree that neither "isolationism" not exceptionalism", which are loaded words, capture what I want to say, which is simply that there is no compelling "default" view that the U.S. (or anyone else, for that matter) should follow what the majority of other governments want.

		Isolationism, a largely ignored theme in our politics, is growing rapidly in the wake of the sacrifices we are making in Iraq.
		It is this feeling of wanting the rest of the world to go away, not any leftward drift, that is animating the drop in President Bush’s approval ratings as the war drags on.
		Isolationism is so discredited with insider opinion that nobody dares articulate its rationale in public.

	Congress Questions Foreign Aid (The New Isolationism?)
		Washington is not likely to take advantage of the opportunity for exercising world leadership that lies waiting as a result of an end to the Cold War, even though it is calculated that about $100 million in foreign aid can be redirected from current recipients to the new republics of the former Soviet Union.
		A new mood of isolationism (some might say its pressing domestic needs) is behind these policy judgments.
		The global leadership exhibited in the last days of the Bush administration, and the generally bipartisan support it has received may bolster the role of colleges and universities in preparing leaders with a global perspective for an increasingly politically and economically connected world.

	The Partial Observer - Realist Isolationism
		Isolationism, as I understand it, can be summarized in four values:
		It is a mistake to use government force to "protect" a culture, but a mass invasion really does depress wages, and our political order really can be in jeopardy if the immigrants seek to change our laws or our boundaries for religious and nationalistic reasons.
		Isolationism's greatest strength is its resistance to guilt manipulation, ideological dogma, and political correctness.

	Defining Isolationism Down \| TPMCafe
		Ryan Lizza and James Forsyth in TNR both say the "isolationism" talk in the State of the Union speech was a shot at conservative realists rather than liberal isolationists, an interpretation that's also being urged on me by my colleague Garance Franke-Ruta.
		Insofar as "isolationism" isn't just a meaningless term of abuse, it ought to apply to people whose views are, in some real sense, like that.
		Another reason isolationism waned was also because the perception of it in the mind of the public had changed.

	For A New Isolationism by Murray N. Rothbard
		It is precisely because we are living in the terrible technology of the nuclear age that we have a sound basis for a workable disarmament agreement with the Russians.
		And that is a new policy of enlightened and realistic isolationism, sparked, as it needs to be in our day, by general nuclear disarmament of the world powers.
		He was also academic vice president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and the Center for Libertarian Studies, and the editor – with Lew Rockwell – of The Rothbard-Rockwell Report.

	What Isolationism?
		It is a fiction, a fabrication and a smear imported from another era.

		I would also agree that, if by isolationism, you mean no longer supporting evil dicatators and tyrants, I am certianly behind this 100%.
		If we had adopted a policy of isolationism years ago, this might be different, but we didn't and we are where we are in this regard.

		Indeed, his entire project of reconfiguring isolationism centers on returning security concerns to the simple, minimal, restrictive, core configurations that marked American foreign policy from the birth of the country until the 1890s.
		In each he reviews historical isolationism with cases, relevant quotes from political figures (Washington's farewell address is a frequent source of inspiration), and some of the isolationist literature.
		To the contrary, Nordlinger's reconfigured isolationism offers the United States the opportunity to play a decisive role in world peace, but on its own terms, and at times and places of its own choosing.

	For a New Liberty by Murray N. Rothbard part 13
		Political "isolationism" and peaceful coexistence—refraining from acting upon other countries—is, then, the libertarian counterpart to agitating for laissez-faire policies at home.
		Isolationism or peaceful coexistence is the foreign policy counterpart of severely limiting government at home.
		Strict isolationism and neutrality, then, is the first plank of a libertarian foreign policy, in addition to recognizing the chief responsibility of the American State for the Cold War and for its entry into all the other conflicts of this century.

	Bush warns against isolationism by U.S. - The Forum at GOPUSA
		The American people WANT the isolationism that has been a tradition since 1776, the protection of closed borders and Constitutional sovereignty: it is difficult to understand how any man could be President of a nation and be so far out of touch with the people.
		Not quite: we were sitting here blissfully sound asleep and ignorant of the fact that our supposed allies were about to launch an attack on our largest city: 3,000 people paid with their lives for our criminal complacency.
		Because of a lack of isolationism, America has had to fight 5 wars, three of which we have decisively lost.
