Nope - they don't exist. Never have. The term was an invention of anti semites and other assorted "paleo cons". The stuff in the late 80's and 90's in which to be called "neoconservative" was the stuff never happenened. There are no and never have been any any "neocons".

Language is evolutionary. At some point, a term comes into existence through usage. If the term neocon continues to be used, it will stick -- regardless of the nefarious forces who invented the term. But thanks for that info -- I have read that neocon is often a veiled perjorative for "jew." But I thought antisemites were trying to hijack the term -- I didn't realize they invented it.
