| − | A '''neoconservative''' (also spelled "neo-conservative"; colloquially, ''neocon'') in American politics is someone presented as a [[conservative]] but who actually favors big government, interventionalism, and a hostility to religion in politics and government. The word means "newly conservative," and thus formerly [[liberal]]. A neocon is a [[RINO Backer]], and like RINOs does not accept most of the important principles in the Republican Party platform. '''''Neocons do not participate in the [[March for Life]], stand up for traditional marriage, or advocate other [[conservative]] social values'''''. | + | A '''neoconservative''' (also spelled "neo-conservative"; colloquially, ''neocon'') in American politics is someone presented as a [[conservative]] but who actually favors big government, interventionalism, and a hostility to religion in politics and government.
