 WorldNetDaily: Buchanan `isolationism` is a myth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)

By that definition, President Bill Clinton campaigned as an isolationist when he proclaimed, in 1991, that his candidacy was all about domestic issues, especially "the economy, stupid." Clinton rode into the White House -- twice -- largely because he pledged to concentrate more on the ills of this country instead of problems overseas.
Buchanan's so-called "isolationist" missive is nothing more than an admonishment to the powers that be to disengage the foreign policy autopilot, think about the ramifications of every decision, weigh them against the needs or benefits to the United States, and examine whether or not our constitutional form of government gives us the authority to intervene.

 Embodied Cognition [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Embodied cognition theorists view cognitivist/classicist accounts as problematic for many reasons, but they are especially concerned that these accounts result in an isolationist assumption that attempts to understand cognition by focusing almost exclusively on an organism's internal cognitive processes.
Specifically, the concern is that if an isolationist assumption rests at the heart of the cognitivist/classicist research program, then the resulting explanations are inaccurate because they either underplay or completely overlook environmental factors that are essential to the formation of an accurate explanation of cognitive development.
Consequently, this isolationist assumption is perceived to result in decreased explanatory power since it de-emphasizes two crucial factors that are needed to understand cognitive development: 1) the exact way organisms are embodied, and 2) the manner in which this embodied form simultaneously constrains and prescribes certain interactions within the environment.

 Isolationism : Isolationist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
During this time, U.S. policymakers refrained from actively engaging in the affairs of other major powers, particularly those in Europe, to the point that U.S. entry into both World Wars occurred long after each war began.
However, because the United States had been actively interventionist in the affairs of its Latin American neighbors during this period, the term "isolationist" is somewhat misleading.
Following World War II, American policymakers took an active interest in global foreign affairs, becoming heavily interventionist[?] in parts of the world outside of its traditional involvement in the Western Hemisphere.

In remarks that are likely to spark a new row over immigration, Hain criticised sections of the Muslim community for being "very isolationist" and warned that their behaviour allowed extremists to exploit cultural divisions.

This is a key card to the deck, and you want to be able to protect it if it is out (this is also why the Red Cross is in the deck, and two Early Warnings), or have a good chance of stealing it off other people if they have it.

The second is that the element of suprise is always an advantage, and the more you make yourself seem like something you are not, the more likely you are to slip in under their radar.
