Pejorative Alert - "neoisolationist" - Reader comments at The New York Sun

It's unfortunate you chose to use the pejorative "neoisolationist lunacy" as a label for Paul. Some people will form their first impressions about Paul upon reading this article. As a journalist you must know that it's irresponsible to wantonly insert your own biases, opinion piece or not.

Perhaps you could expand on your characterization of Paul? Were Jefferson and Washington guilty of isolationist lunacy, using your same labeling standard?

"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations – entangling alliances with none." ~ Thomas Jefferson
