I don't recall him ever saying he's isolationist. If so, oh well. His seems to be quite a different brand from what the U.S. has had.
Again, sources?
Trade Wars and Protectionism are not Free Trade | The Ron Paul Archive < click
"Free trade with all and entangling alliances with none has always been the best policy in dealing with other countries on the world stage. This is the policy of friendship, freedom and non-interventionism and yet people wrongly attack this philosophy as isolationist. Nothing could be further from the truth. Isolationism is putting up protectionist trade barriers, starting trade wars imposing provocative sanctions and one day finding out we have no one left to buy our products. Isolationism is arming both sides of a conflict, only to discover that you’ve made two enemies instead of keeping two friends. Isolationism is trying to police the world but creating more resentment than gratitude. Isolationism is not understanding economics, or other cultures, but clumsily intervening anyway and creating major disasters out of minor problems."

he is an isolationist concerning non-intervention in other nations "affairs"
but what does that mean domestically?
non-intervention in the Human Being Protected Status of the Corporation....domestically.
the net effect will be complete isolation of all those non-The Corporation is a Human Being with RIGHTS people - you and i.
friendship? freedom? okay.....
"Q: Apple Computer employs 46,000 Americans, but also employs about 500,000 people in China. How do you revive "Made in America"?
PAUL: You have to create the right conditions to bring these companies back, and they have to bring their capital back and shouldn't be taxed."

no taxes for big corporations.
so what exactly IS is Ron Paul's answer to fixing the 45+ trillion plus DEBT the US has, if not by taxing Corporations (his version of free trade)?
