Yeah, GUEST,B, that's what the neo-cons keep trying to say--now. But I think the tag got picked up when one of those folks listed in my post just above proudly announced, "We are the new conservatives!" So the name stuck. Too bad. So sad.

Perfectly descriptive, though, when you consider that they regard themselves as a new breed of conservative as distinct from the old breed, and some of the old conservatives are a bit appalled at their excesses. Also, if you don't like labels, don't use them yourself. Example: when the neo-cons accuse those who disagree with them as being "unpatriotic."
