Liberals- bah! Imperialism is what made this nation great! Historic ventures in Vietnam, the Phillipines, and Africa all served to extend the great American empire to the very edges of the globe!

Maximal or minimal realists?

(Hrm...how many others besides Marina would get this...)

Anyways, yes, I'm in the realist category.

Isolationist

The term isolationist is most often used negatively; few people who share its beliefs use it to describe their own foreign policy perspective. They believe in "America first." For them, national sovereignty trumps international relations. Many unions, libertarians, and anti-globalization protesters share isolationist tenets.

Isolationists…

Are wary of US involvement in the United Nations
Oppose international law, alliances, and agreements
Believe the US should not act as a global cop
Support trade practices that protect American workers
Oppose liberal immigration
Oppose American imperialism
Desire to preserve what they see as America's national identity and character

I actually have no problem with the US going on imperialist adventures overseas, its entertaining to watch on the news.

Realist

Realists…

Are guided more by practical considerations than ideological vision
Believe US power is crucial to successful diplomacy - and vice versa
Don't want US policy options unduly limited by world opinion or ethical considerations
Believe strong alliances are important to US interests
Weigh the political costs of foreign action
Believe foreign intervention must be dictated by compelling national interest
Historical realist: President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Modern realist: Secretary of State Colin Powell

Depending on how I answer question number eight, where I think two of the answers apply, I'm either a neoconservative or a realist. These polls are like that; they often have ambiguous or multiple appropriate questions or ones where additional options are needed.

Why the fuck did I get picked as a Liberal when other people I KNOW to be Liberals here got Realist and I fucking didn't? I ain't no fucking Liberal or Conservative.

Well, Iceberg is one of the realpolitik people here, so he's not really liberal in that area.

Gil Hamilton · Post by **Gil Hamilton** » 2003-09-03 11:11pm

I seem to be a realist, by the way.

Indeed. Virtually all of those questions deal with foreign policy.

The mere fact that they use the term "realist" rather than the more accurate term "pragmatist" indicates that the people who created this poll are obviously playing favourites. The term "realist" implies that everyone else is being delusional.

Don't you just love the troika of the three most-wrong fuckwits in recent memory at the top? Perle, Wolfowitz and Kristol- trio of morons- I just can't help laughing at them. *waves* You're on your way out, you fuckers. And in Perle's words: "our children will sing great songs about us" (what a loon).

Oh, and I'm a liberal. BIG SHOCK!
