Is Paleoconservatism Isolationist?

*** begin quote ***
I would never describe a paleoconservative foreign policy as “isolationist.” That is a pejorative used by its detractors. Non-interventionist would be the proper term. This is the traditional American conservative position dating to the Washington administration. It is not pacifist or ideologically anti-war–paleocons are not Quakers–nor does it seek to cut off diplomacy or trade with the rest of the world. The old policy of avoiding “entangling alliances” is a better interpretation than “isolation.”

And, maybe if our Gooferment had a better handle on diplomacy, then 175 “little girls” (IDK how “little” they were, but school aged) would still be alive. And 7 Americans and an unknown number of Iranains.)

Congress has unconstitutionally delegated the power to “make war” to our now “elected king”.
“The current state of American government is that members of Congress just want to be influencers because writing good laws and doing actual oversight requires to much work, presidents just want to play war because domestic policy is too hard and not as fun, and judges get to write laws and play president because it’s easier than getting elected.” — Sean Davis of The Federalist
Argh!
