Paul, a libertarian-leaning Texas congressman, said that Republicans critics of isolationism are misusing the word if they are applying it to his foreign policy.

"I think they don't know the definition of isolationism," he said on ABC's "Top Line" webcast.

...

Isolationists, Paul said, want to close the U.S.'s borders and cut off trade relationships with other countries.

Paul explained he's not in favor of that, but claimed he does want to dramatically decrease the U.S.'s international military presence and end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"This is what the founders advised," he said. "We were not meant to be the policemen of the world."Something tells me they won't hear that, and will keep using the word. :rolleyes:
