Tevi Troy doesn't even know what isolationism mean.

"At the end of Paul’s “The Revolution: A Manifesto,” he recommends dozens of books, many of which emphasize his differences with more traditional GOP thinking. For instance, many of the works dealing with international affairs are not in the mainstream of Republican thought. They include Robert Pape’s “Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism,” Chalmers Johnson’s “Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire,” and Michael Scheuer’s “Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror.” These choices demonstrate how Paul represents a more isolationist strain in a GOP that has recently embodied a more internationalist — and interventionist — worldview."

Chalmers Johnson and Michael Scheuer arer isolationist?? Tevi Toy is a lightweight of the first magnitude.

The fact that National Review even gives this clown regular time shows how far the magazine has fallen under Rich Lowery's regime.
