I looked at two or three additional definitions, which were almost identical to those herein above. Nowhere did I find "an attitude of America Frist, the heck with foreign poor," as a "part of the definition." I'm sure you are aware that random individuals cannot arbitrarily redefine words, no matter how much it suits a personal agenda.
