The word PATRIotic means of the fathers. So, what is the patriotic position on foreign policy? What do our founding fathers say about it? Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war. -John Adams America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. John Quincy Adams Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none. -Thomas Jefferson If tyranny and oppression come to this land it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. - James Madison It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world. -George Washington The Executive has not right, in any case, to decide the question whether there is or is not cause for declaring war. --James Madison It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad. --James Madison
