Perhaps this is one of the articles you read: nationalreview.com One of the difficulties in nailing down the neocons/Strausians is that they create false persona on a continual basis just in case they ever need them. You have to take their personal accounts with a grain of salt. (example amnation.com (and it's internal links)) If the old neocons were once liberal I would place their likely turning point to reactionary at the birth of Israel (1949). In the mean time, here is a speech by a nearby Texas congressman who is rabidly libertarian. He is very much for small government and claims the neocons of Washington prevent that goal. house.gov -edit- I was noting how Kristol states neoconservatism began in the 1970s, but Ron Paul (Republican congressman who has interacted with them frequently) gives 1960s date. I think the neocons would like to hide their genesis and so provide a distracting history.
