"A hawk who hates social conservatives."

Sounds like a Goldwater Republican to me. Conservative on "fiscal" issues but liberal on "social" issues is tripe, but many (too many) so-called conservatives think they sound oh so intelligent when they say it. They think it makes them palatable to everybody.

There are neocons who are also social conservatives. Midge Decter was one of the first to raise alarms about how homosexuals were targeting the Boy Scouts. That was back in the early to mid 1990s -- big story in National Review.
