I'm talking about the TERM being hijacked by the left and being applied in a sinister fashion.
I'm not debating "it" - as I happen to be an early adopter.
If anything is/was "neo" - it was the Clintonistas selling of American national interests to internaitonalist concerns (Clinton was (and Hillary is) willing to sacrifice American soverignty for Kyoto, the wot WCC, and the WTO).
Maybe you can get a clue by reading a book by Henry Kissinger "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy" published in the mid-1950s. It's straight Wolfowitz - and good reading to boot.
Ayn Rand is also a good reading and so is Ron Hubbard. Good reading is not a sufficient reason to believe in scientology, objectivism or neo-conservatism.
