    Red face Isolationism vs. Non-interventionism...

    It irks me the way the press spins things... A foreign policy of Isolationism is totally different than a foreign policy of Non-interventionism. Look at these "articles" and the negative spin they encourage:

    It's like equating celibacy with casual dating. What's the consensus here??? What say ye???

    I had to search to see which Ron Paul sentiment you were quoting. This one?

    Another good one is when the Media refers to the Audit the Fed movement as a populist movement.

    That cracks me up, because this movement is older than the populist movement, It is grounded in the 18th century idea of Freedom and Independence.

    The conflict between wether or not to have a national bank began way before Teddy Roosevelt's Time.

    I think it was Madison who championed a federal bank.

    As president Madison established the Second National Bank. He opposed the first on grounds it was not constitutional. It appears stepping into the presidency can change one's opinions.
