If I could press you further.. that's pretty broad, imo.
What are the points of contention between these "neo-cons" and the non-neo-cons"
I mean, this is so ambiguous as to leave me wondering if I am indeed one of these "Neo-conservatives" or not.
(Actually, I don't even know if they/we are a majority at this point.)
I suppose the Fiscal-conservatives and the Pro-government RINO's and open border types could definitely fall into the "neo" category, but so could many social conservatives and Christian conservatives as well. This is very confusing for me.
It's so broad as to be almost meaningless.
Mostly, it is a matter of emphasis. Some traditional conservatives are more isolationist, some not. The Paleos disagree with most of what I listed. Beyond that, traditional conservatives of the WSJ editorial page ilk tend to be more anti-redistributionist, more hostile to a social safety net, more impressed about supply side economics, more concerned about the evils of big government qua big government, more into subsidiarity (the devolving power to states and localities and away from Washington), and more cautious about government initiatives in general.
I wish there were other neocons around here to add their two cents, or disagree with my take on this, but I think I am the only real card carrying neocon on this board. :)
