Comments on: Huckabee’s foreign policy. Neo-isolationist? http://sorendayton.com/2007/08/14/huckabees-foreign-policy-neo-isolationist/ Merely an aggregation of a dispersed life online Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:08:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: chukmaty http://sorendayton.com/2007/08/14/huckabees-foreign-policy-neo-isolationist/comment-page-1/#comment-2206 chukmaty Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:34:25 +0000 http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/08/14/huckabees-foreign-policy-neo-isolationist/#comment-2206 Huckabee is definitely not a neo Isolationist, he is a conservative interventionist. What he was against in the campaign was the Woodrow Wilson style interventionism were we emphasize nation building over responding to threats to national security. I would actually say that he seemed to be competing with Rudi Giuliani for "Most Aggressive Foreign Policy Award" He also seemed to be liking the idea of covert hit squads and covert action over occupation, which was the Reagan style (left Lebanon, upped level of covert activity in communist countries). Remember the "snatch and grab" comment he repeated in several debates and speeches? Just some thoughts. Huckabee is definitely not a neo Isolationist, he is a conservative interventionist.

While Huck’s long record of cultural conservatism and fiscal moderation bordering on outright liberalism has been well documented, little is known about his foreign policy views. According to Soren, Huckabee appears to be carrying the banner of foreign policy realism, with an anti-trade stance and an opposition to immigration included for good measure. Money quote: David (Adesnik), who might even accept the label “neoconservative,” finds this troubling. Frankly, I do too, on a certain level. While I wouldn’t accept the “export our form of government” language, it seems clear to me that the United States has a clear role in the world. Some of this is because we are still the strongest superpower, with the strongest economy, the strongest military, and the most dynamic popular culture (which conservatives here and abroad hate) [...] [...] Soren Dayton has put together a comprehensive post on Mike Huckabee’s foreign policy record and finds that Huckabee’s domestic views aren’t the only thing out of sync with today’s GOP.
