It rates me thusly:
Isolationist
The term isolationist is most often used negatively; few people who share its beliefs use it to describe their own foreign policy perspective. They believe in “America first.” For them, national sovereignty trumps international relations. Many unions, libertarians, and anti-globalization protesters share isolationist tenets.

Author/Commentator Pat Buchanan
Ok, that’s almost correct, I guess. However, I do not, in any way “support trade practices that protect American workers”, and I do not “oppose liberal immigration”.
On the contrary, I am for breaking down nearly all trade barriers and abolishing tarrifs. As for immigration, well, shouldn’t freedom of movement and association be a basic human right?
I’m not all that excited about being lumped in with Pat Buchanan either. Perhaps we could switch him for Gore Vidal?
