Neoconservatives dominate the conservative voice in the media, as in television talk shows, magazines, think tanks, and advisory positions in Republican Administrations.  Some prominent spokesmen are [[Bill Kristol]], [[Paul Wolfowitz]], [[Lewis Libby]], [[Norman Podhoretz]], [[Daniel Pipes]], [[Charles Krauthammer]], [[Richard Perle]], [[Robert Kagan]], Christopher Hitchens, Willmoore Kendall, Stephen Schwartz, Elliott Abrams and Carl Gershman.

 

In contrast to traditional conservatives, Neoconservatives favor [[globalism]], downplay religious issues, are unlikely to actively oppose [[abortion]] and [[homosexuality]]. Neocons disagree with [[paleoconservatives]] on issues such as the [[separation of powers]], cultural unity, and [[immigration]]. Necons favor a strong active state in world affairs.  Like all conservatives Neoconservatives oppose [[affirmative action]].
