Feel free to define them yourself. I looked up neoconservative on wikipedia, and it seemd to say you are supposed to be against big governemtn spending, and hawking on foreign policy issues. Are you liberal on social issues? If you are, then I dont think you fit with the general band of conservatives. That's why you have a different label?
I stand by my definitions. They apply (in a very broad sense of course, which is why I went on to define libertarians and evangelicals, the major coalition that helped Reagan get elected, and helped Gold water secure a nomination, to show that the definitions can't account for everyone) to the conservative movement as I've seen it from the 30's until perhaps more recently.
