What, in 50 words, or less, defines a neo-conservative?
Please, anyone, a good, concise, non-derogatory definition.

Before I even try, you have to answer me what you mean by your question.
Do you mean 'neoconservative' in the original sense, or the way it is used by-and-large today?

What, in 50 words, or less, defines a neo-conservative? Three principles:
- American religious, political, and economic freedom is at the forefront of human advancement and transcends cultural boundaries.
- Freedom abroad translates to safety and prosperity for Americans.
- America's global power should be used to promote and defend this freedom.
In short: American democracy is the future.

What, in 50 words, or less, defines a neo-conservative? A belief that the government and its tendency to grow are not necessarily bad things so long as they remained controlled by the right people (i.e. neoconservatives). This control is bolstered by a near-idolatrous adoration for a few select secular saints of that government - esp. Lincoln, TR, and FDR - for the purpose of furthering government's appeal to the masses.
