What kind of a stupid name is "The Shrubbloggers"?    |    Why is there a "2.0" next to the crappy logo?    |    You could well starve if you feed on our RSS.

Are You a Neocon?

Take the Quiz.

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.

Isolationists

-Are wary of US involvement in the United Nations
-Oppose international law, alliances, and agreements
-Believe the US should not act as a global cop
-Support trade practices that protect American workers
-Oppose liberal immigration
-Oppose American imperialism
-Desire to preserve what they see as America’s national identity and character

Modern isolationist:
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?
