No, you've got it all wrong. 'Neoconservative' means a conservative who remains fiscally conservative domestically, but has embraced a liberal foreign policy. 'Liberal' in the classic sense of the word. So, as far as foreign policy, there are actually 'NeoLiberals', but since they still believe in free markets and capitalism as the means to their globalist ends, they are called 'Neoconservatives'.

And the article's right, we are all neoconservatives now...we're all globalists too. All, that is, except for the few paleoconservatives like Buchanan, Paul, etc.

Neo-cons are those who believe that the US military should be a global nanny, keeping the peace, building kindergartens and hospitals, spreading goodwill, etc.

Old conservatives are more along the lines of Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy of “Speak softly and carry a big stick...”. In other words, don’t tell people how to run their countries, but if they cross you, make them wish they hadn’t.

I don’t know which you are, but Bush is a neo-con while Paul is an old fashioned conservative.
