What exactly is a "paleo" conservative? I read Frum's column, and am still not entirely sure.

The term is generally used to describe a faction of conservatism normally associated with Buchananites, anti-immigration people and the sort. Some argue that they are anti-Jewish as well, though there are also Jews who describe themselves as "paleos."

By contrast, David Frum seems to think that a "paleo" is anything and everything that does not agree with him whether the label is accurate or not.

Basically the neocon's accept FDR's New Deal socialism as well as Johnson's Great Society as good ideas (just managed poorly) i.e. they are for a strong central government and the welfare state. On foreign policy they go far beyond national defense to the point where they are down right aggressive, belligerent even.
Hmmmm...is there a "None of the above" option? :) Or a list with more selections?
