Return to Isolationism

My article for the current issue of The Kenyon Observer is now online at out brand-new website. Here is the opening paragraph:

"American foreign policy has become infused with an air of self-righteousness and moral superiority. We have long since strayed from the advice of Thomas Jefferson, that it is best to maintain 'peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.' Foreign adventurism, never-ending war, and complex alliances have entirely perverted the foundation of this country’s foreign policy."

Read the Rest.

Very well-reasoned and insightful essay. I assume you'll be turning on a bunch of Kenyon students to libertarianism, lighting the brushfires of liberty in them, and ultimately will bring them back home with you. Right?! Yeah!!!

Thank you, Denis. I am trying my best. It's pretty much me and one other guy doing it all at this point. We did have a debate last semester, which many students say the Libertarians won (beating the Dems and GOP).
