I, as well as any of us, can see Mr. Paul's economic ideas coming from him, and other's who might support one or many points of Mr. Paul's, in the political arena and the broader media.

As far as where the opposition to his ideas are coming from, even within GOP ranks, it is my belief that he is simply labeling that opposition as “neo-conservative” because of the pejorative value he believes it has. However, I don't believe that opposition - conservative, moderate or liberal - is derived from or a result of anyone, specifically, arguing from a “neo-conservative” position.

"Neo-con" is just an empty pejorative. It has no meaning beyond the intention of conveying a meaningless, non-specific negative impression.
