If you control the vocabulary, you control the debate...

On Face the Nation, Ron Paul coined the term "neo-isolationist." We need to stake claim to this term on Wikipedia... It's currently not there. I know people who have started to call Ron Paul a "neo-isolationist" and we need to combat this by taking the definition for ourselves.

I don't know how to use wikipedia very well, and I'm at a conference this week. Can we get a wiki-warrior out there who can start an entry for the term "neo-isolationist" that reflects someone who is in favor of isolating the United States through policies that infringe on soverignty of other nations and alienate allies?

Thanks!

ok, I added Ron Paul social media and other wiki links to my wiki, and I'll be adding a glossary, but I'll need your help to define it as best as possible

This is a great idea. On Face the Nation, paul defined a neo isolationist as someone who makes enemies with other countries by launching pre-emptive strikes on them and by cutting off free trade and diplomacy talks.

Hope that helps.

While you wiki warriors are at it. Can you also coin the word neoliberal.

That would be a liberal that is for pre-emptive war, empire nation building, and removing civil rights and liberties in the name of national security.

Hillary is a neoliberal example.
