There are Neo-Con purists that never met a weapons system application that wasn't needed tomorrow or a country that didn't need our guidance. There are ideological libertarians that want the ghost of John Stuart Mill to replace the Constitution and for state government to be replaced by the local sewer district committees. There are Randian Objectivists that are awaiting Aynn's resurrection on the White House Lawn.
Lastly, there are people that would like to think of themselves as generally conservative, but want the media and Hollywood to like them and become McCain realists.
As the Pope said of Islam...I find them deficient. The vast bulk of principled conservatives find the pundit infighting like so many little Trotskyite fiefdom revolts. What is that expression of Tony Snow's? Be Reagan.
When I see the likes of pat buchanan, writing an article bemoaning at length that our forces killed innocent women and children in Pakistan, and never once mentioning the fact that the target had been some top terrorists and the women and children were unfortunately collateral deaths, screw that...be Patton.
Now personally, I'd just as soon call him and buchanan sniveling, terrorist supporting pieces of $hit but that's a little long and not exactly the best term for public discourse. Paleocon seems to be a good replacement but I'll consider a better word.
