Liberals say that neo-conservatives are bad because they are conservative, and conservatives say their bad because they're "neo".
It makes it kind of hard for me to find someone to agree with, but easy to find someone to blame.

Reagan recognized that we needed a "big government" to fight world communism. He also recognized that there were some things big government did well -- like fight a highly technological war. And he realized that having government engineering social policy was idiotic.
And Ronald Reagan was a better "conservative" than any paleocon nitwit that ever lived.

Thank you both for summing up the neo/paelo nonsense that is used by some to justify their positions and denigrate everyone else's. Labels mean nothing. I can tell a liberal without a label and I don't buy this 'my way or no way' defeatist attitude some cling to while pinning their pointless little labels on everyone. If you need a name tag to know who you are, you aren't ready for hardball politics.
