Just for good measure, here are a couple of other bits that I clipped on my way to the lewrockwell.com piece. "As has been noted, the neo-cons are former liberals. And, when it comes to their newfound conservatism, they still believe in throwing money around. They believe in Big Government Conservatism." blogcritics.org ----------------------------- "Are you confused about the terminology? Me too. But I think I've mastered it now. Here's my guide to the world of neos and paleos, guaranteed to make the distinctions Kristol clear (pun intended): 1) neocon--person who used to be a liberal but is now still mostly liberal on social issues but hawkish on foreign policy, particularly about spreading democracy. Example: Paul Wolfowitz 2) paleocon--an old-fashioned conservative: small government, isolationist in foreign policy although hawkish when attacked. Example: Pat Buchanan " neo-neocon.blogspot.com ----------------------------- I also saw a piece that made the point that "neocon" has fallen into use as one of those generic insults rather than an actual label for a particular philosophy. Perhaps you are seeing it used that way and inferring meaning that does not apply.
