National Review hashed this out quite extensively during
the first gulf war. neocons are traditional Democrats
that found themselves voting republican because their
former party didn't oppose communism fiercely enough
during the cold war. FDR, they hypothesized, would be
a neoconservative republican if he was alive today. (THAT
one certainly set dumbocrat teeth gnashing.) I think
that neoconservatives are generally considered to be
more expansionist regarding their foreign policy.

I have heard their counterparts in the party referred to
as paleoconservatives.

The funniest thing about it all is that "neo" means "new." "Paleo," in the sense that they use it, is supposed to mean "old." ...problem with that is that most Republicans in the 1800s and early 1900s wanted to keep their ancestors out of the US.

They voted for Reagan on the condition that he promote social anarchy--for example, his appointment of O'Connor to the Supreme Court and all kinds of big government spending for feminazis, homosexual activists and pub. ed. They're into goddess worship. They're calling old conservatives, new conservatives, and new conservatives, old. Heh, heh.
