I don't know. I'm not sure if the term "paleoconservative" is used as often in a similar way. Usually, people attacking them bring up the whole anti-Semitism strain that can be a tendency in paleo circles. It seems that people just bring that up in an attempt to "shut up" the paleos. I think both sides in this have valid concerns about the others' motives. I tend to side with the neocons on issues of foreign policy. However, on cultural issues, I'm a "crunchy" conservative, which is basically a paleoconservative without the racialist or isolationist tendencies, and a concern for the natural world, that is nuturing towards the environment, not "tree-hugger."

I lean a bit towards the Paleo side myself, and have been attacked as a "Jew-basher" and "Nazi" all day long today on a different thread. As A tax payer, I have a vested interest as to where / how my money is spent. My stance on how my (tax) money is spent irks some hyphenated Americans in the worst way. I am an American first. My money should be spent in a way that benefits the majority of Americans, especially in cases where it is spent offshore. For this I am constantly called a Jew-Basher. Oddly enough, when I gripe about my money being spent in Egypt, or Colombia, I never hear a peep out of these people.

Go figure.
