Your definition, which encompasses neoconservatism, does not jive with Wikipedia's, which does not. In fact, the word 'populist' doesn't show up at all in the 'neoconservatism' entry. Surely, if 'populist' is one of neoconservatism's defining attributes, it would appear in there somewhere. And if not in Wikipedia's definition, then surely in Princeton's. Nope, not there either.
Again, if you make the statement that neoconservatism is a populist movement, back it up with examples. Support your argument.

You make the mistake in assuming I'm defining according to its self professed Ideology. I'm defining the movement by its actions, not its own ideological conceits ;). I don't care what it claims to be.
