Thank you and keep it coming. It would appear that some people can't recognize or appreciate things like satire,irony,sarcasm and the like. I wonder how many conservatives there are in Hollywood who are afraid to come out of the closet? Cheers and Kudos. Dear Mr. Silver

Sandy will make such a great National Security Adviser, again. Their love of democracy and America is truly something to behold.

“Thom1776:

A minor point. In your first point, you say that we would maintain diplomatic relations and free trade. In your sixth point, you say we wouldn’t have any ambassadors.”

Please re-read what Thom1776 wrote in point #1 more carefully…

ISOLATIONISM:

“A policy of true isolationism regarding this matter would be simple, remove all our troops from the region and recall all our diplomatic personnel…”

Thom1776 appears to support non-interventionism, NOT isolationism, and goes on to explain the difference…

NON-INTERVENTIONISM:

“The preferred course here is non-interventionism, not isolationism. We SHOULD remove all of our military presence in foreign countries, but maintain full diplomatic relations and free and open trade.”

Very, very, different policies, and I thought Thom1776′s stance was made quite clearly here. Maybe the fact that both policies have an “i” in them confuses people into thinking they’re the same thing. They are not.

Irony. He was prrobably confused by the iron in it. I hope Thom will seek whatever treatment is currently available to the irony-impaired. Irony. He was prrobably confused by the iron in it.
