"The terms "paleocon" and "conservative" are diametrically opposed, as is evidenced by the recent frenetic scribblings of Herr Buchanan and others of his ilk."

Paleocon is a rather recently coined term invented by those in the "mushy middle" masquerading as conservatives.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Actually, paleocon is a recently coined self description invented by people who realize that publicly praising the virtue of the Nazi system in this day and age is bad PR, and who want to maintain the veneer of public respectability.

Paleocon is a rather recently coined

Paleocon, whatever it was meant to convey, has become a codeword for people with neo-nazi leanings. It has taken on the same meaning as "88" and "14 words" in neo-nazi symbology, and the ones using it to describe themselves are by now mostly perfectly aware of that. They wrap themselves in the "paleocon" banner because a swastika would be to obvious, too odious and too negatively charged.
