Sutekidane;The US had 20 to 21% of the Worlds GDP in 1910, back when it was isolationist. We can handle ourselves fine, plenty of land mass, populaton and natural resources. Plus "isolationist" doesn't mean we didn't freely trade with everyone, and I mean FREELY TRADE, no stupid tarrifs or governmental sponserships or "forbiddin" products. We let you sell anything you can produce here and you let us sell anything we can produce there, no strings attached, otherwise no deal.

AS to what happens to those other country's you mentioned, why Nothing, of course. The US is the big bad guy here right? Everybody else is all lovy dovy if not for our bullying ways, yes?

Being isolationist doesn't mean being weak. I don't mess with you and you don't mess with me, but if you do mess with me, I'll wipe you from existance. That was the essence of "speak softly but carry a big stick". Basically we didn't want to start fights back then, but we could finish them if you did.

The truth of the matter is that the rest of the world has grown soft and resents relying on US power for everything. So fine, we withdraw so the world can once again feel what it is to have no "big brother" refereeing everybody. If the US did go isolationist, how long before the world plunged into a World War? Five years? Ten?

MMM; Christ Lived 2000 years ago, his words have nothing to do with christianity today? Honestly, that's the best arguement you can come up with? Progressiveness is Humanisim, the manifesto is thier belief system. You can't propagate a belief without some sort of guidline to what that belief is. The Humanist manifesto is thier bible and they believe in it as surely as any relgious zealot.

Planned parenthood's foundation was based on Sangers work, just check thier records, the vast majority of them are based in poor ethnic areas, dutifully keeping the "weeds" in check. Recently some folks in the African community really starting looking into why there were so many "Planned Parenthoods" in thier neighborhoods. It didn't take them long to find that they were there "planning" to make sure none of them were parents.

While Hispanic and asian populations have increased, largely due to immigration, the Black population has remained stagnant if not decreased since Sangers work went into effect. This despite the fractureing of their community and 75% out of wedlock pregnacies? In fact, ever since the Progressives first introduced the "great sociaty", African American communitites have fallen apart.
