How so? I'm getting quotes straight from the horses mouth. You clearly believe he is an isolationist yet there are videos everywhere proving you false. Therefore you previously recieved not so good information.
"An isolationist is a protectionist that build walls around the country. They don't like to trade and travel about the world and they like to put sanctions on different countries. Some of the people who call me that are actually more in favor of sanctions and limited trade. They're the ones who don't want to trade with cuba and they want to put sanctions on anyone who blinks their eye at them. The opposite is what we believe in.
We believe Nixon did the right thing by opening up trade doors with China because that is when we quit killing eachother and that we are more at peace with them. We better be because they have become our banker. So non intervention is quite a bit different. Its what the founders advized, to get along with people, trade with people and practice diplomacy rather than having this militantcy of telling people what to do and how to run the world and building walls around our own country." - Ron Paul
Bring troops home for a strong national defense instead of policing the world = Isolationist?
