"Except for the fact that as it has come to be defined it is no different than the policies persued by Teddy Roosevelt a hundred years ago."

Perhaps I misunderstood your point here, but the point about neoconservatives is not that they are new, but that they are new to calling themselves conservatives, and even newer to claiming any space on the conservative mantle.

The person who brought up neoconservatism is you, not me. And you said it was new, I pointed out that it is not.

Everything else is just you being argumentative.

And by the way, was Teddy Roosevelt a conservative? In some ways yes, in other ways, no. Quite frankly, in some ways he was extremely conservative.

But that is a whole other discussion, and one that I am not inclined to enjoin here and now, for many reasons, including the fact that you seem inclined to mistakenly take any such statements by me as indicating approval of his policies.
