<blockquote>''Paleoconservative'' becomes a conceptual and political counterpoint to ''neoconservative'' in ''The Conservative Movement'' by Thomas Fleming and Paul Gottfried (1988). Here the term no longer refers merely to conservative traditionalists of the 1950s and 1960s, e.g., Southern Agrarians, Catholic anticommunists associated with ''National Review'', and Taft Republicans who rallied to the Cold War. Instead, the term is now applied to embattled conservatives who opposed the growing influence of anticommunist New Deal Democrats on the Reagan presidency and on the conservative movement on the 1980s.</blockquote> | <blockquote>''Paleoconservative'' becomes a conceptual and political counterpoint to ''neoconservative'' in ''The Conservative Movement'' by Thomas Fleming and Paul Gottfried (1988).
