Ron Paul's Fortress America: How would it work?

[bourbon]

I am not sure Ron Paul uses the term “Fortress America”. That sounds more like a pejorative used to describe his policies. The term “Fortress America” implies an isolationist foreign policy, when Dr. Paul champions a less interventionist foreign policy. As Selil notes, Dr. Paul’s “sophomoric sounding concept” is actually the historical position of the United States as envisioned by our founding fathers. Tenets of Dr. Paul's policies would likely stress strategic independence and offshore balancing.
