From the Wikipedia - Neocon
The first major neoconservative to embrace the term, and considered its founder, is Irving Kristol, father of William Kristol, who founded the neoconservative Project for the New American Century.

If support for the New American Century is a test for being a neocon, I guess I can be painted as a neocon. The New American Century project was about who was going to lead in the 21st century and to take steps to see that it was going to be America. The other options were China, Russia or maybe India.

Do I agree with all of the people that have been thrown in the neocon soup or those mistakenly tagged with the neocon label by berserk leftists with neocon semi-automatic sticker guns? Nope.

Frankly I'm sick of the word as it has been so misused as to make it totally worthless.

You link Wikipedia as a definitive source for defining Neoconservatism?

No wonder you're so confused so often.
