| binary solo said: I'm married to one of you lot, and I like her. But then again, she's one of the non-isolationist Americans who left the country permanently, so you'd probably hate her and call her un-American. Most Americans I know are great people, but they tend to be the more liberal minded ones because they are the American's who aren't afraid of the rest of the world and who have left the USA temporarily or permanently in order to see and understand a bit more about the world. If you became as isolationist as you wanted to you'd eventually morph into North Korea. That's what isolationist countries do, they become more extreme, less tolerant, and more militaristic. I guess if you want all those things then continue chanting for isolationism. But I don't think you really understand what isolationism means. You may be more inclined to be in favour of neutrality, like Switzerland, than isolationism like North Korea and Bhutan. |
I wouldn't consider your wife un-American. I have left my country and have seen the world and I too would also consider moving to another country permanently. I am not afraid of the rest of the world, I just love my country.
As for the isolation thing, I just want it to be harder to become a citizen of the U.S. and for us to try to crack down on illeagal immigration. And yes, you are correct, I would prefer neutrality and for the U.S. not to get involved in the rest of the world's problems. I would rather us sit back and watch the rest of the world burn and for us not to interfere.
