I would then imagine than anyone whose beliefs are diametrically opposite to those basic descriptions would then be a "neo" conservative.

Please provide a better word than "non-interventionist".

Isolationist.

Here's my personal assessment of paleocons: They're the intellectual heirs of the Know-nothings, Copperheads and the America-Firsters.

In other words they're nativist, sympathetic to the Confederacy and isolationist.

No, I do not accept the premise that someone whose views are diametrically opposed to what the paleos claim as their mantle is a neocon.

Despite the antipathy between the two groups, both have certain things in common, including a respect for the role of religion in life.

The word I would have used instead of non-interventionist is isolationist.
