No, Neo-Con is more than a foreign policy-related term. It covers most political issues, in fact....I guess you could call it "big government conservatism (sic)": -- Continuing the Welfare State, tho not to the degree that the Dims do; -- Promote the Warfare State, in order to "spread democracy" throughout the world (as if it's any of our business to do that! I thought the reason we had a military was for DEFENSE, & protect us from outside attack! Silly me); etc., etc. Maybe it would help if you read
"Neo-Conservatism" by Irving Kristol.

Nope, Neo-conservatism, as the term is used in common parliance (even by Paulistinians themselves) refers to people who are basically pro-Israel, pro-war in Iraq, and pro-assertive foreign policy, contra the neo-isolationism preferred by RoPaul. That’s the way the term is pretty much always used, or at least has been since 2003.
