Entry: Say It Loud: Isolationist-Proud! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/say_it_loud_isolationist_and_proud#14298 Post contents: The article omits the basic causes of international "involvement" by the US. Until recently, 90% of such involvement was caused by US Business interests. However, the dynamic has changed. Nowadays, while Corporate interests are greater than ever to force "taypayer Capitalism" on the US citizen, another, perhaps insane, dictum has surfaced. Quasi-domestic Ethnic pressures, brought own by dual or multi-held "citizenships" by large groups of so-called "Americans" to act for other nations' interests that have little or nothing to do with traditional Amarican interests. The greatest, and first such group are the Israeli- americans, (small "a" intentional), whose love for Israel manifestly is far greater than any "love" or patriotism they might feel towards the Republic of ] the United States, which has cost us much in blood and treasure as well as the scorn of the world and the hatred of 2 billion other persons around the globe. However, this group of Pollardites is only the first of a growing plague of such entities. With the coming of the 707 in the 'Sixties, and the allowing of dual multi-held citizenships, (I know one person with five citizenships),and With rapid and inexpensive air travel and instant worldwide communications, there is now no need to foreswear old citizenships and loyalties in favor of newer ones. Inevitably, conflicts of interests will arise. This, more than any other single factor today, makes for a dangerous and troubled United States, where any ethnic or nationalistic group can hold the Republic for ransom and force foreign policy planning that is deleterious to our National interests, however much such activities might aid Israel, or Poland, or Mexico... the list goes on and on.
