The actuall definition of a Neocon is "new conservative" which applies to people who were liberals but realized that they need to be conservative fiscally to stay afloat. So they became conservatives for fiscal reasons but retained some of their liberal biases.

GW Bush is NOT a neocon. Neither am I, because I'm WAY too conservative to be one.

I'm not a "LIBTARD" (whatever that is), but can I still answer the question?

A neocon is the far right extreme b*stard brother to a liberal.
They are both born from the same womb of American liberty, but each has foregone pragmatism for ideology.

Neither side thinks, they take their marching orders from their party and don't question anything.

Somewhere in America, there are people waking up to this sad fact.
Someday in America, we'll have a new party, where the issues include LESS government intrusion (like the way the Republicans abused the Terri Schiavo case), less wasteful spending & pork-barrel bills (like both parties do) and focus on rebuilding American businesses that are based in America, helping the poor, the under-insured and under-educated.

A healthy, educated middle-class populance is our only hope to dig out of the debt we've inclurred over the past four years.

Neoconservatism is a political current and ideology, mainly in the United States, which is generally held to have emerged in the 1960s, coalesced in the 1970s, and has had a significant presence in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

The prefix neo- refers to two ways in which neoconservatism was new: many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism; neoconservatism was also a comparatively recent strain of conservative thought, which derived from a variety of intellectual roots in the decades following World War II. While some (such as Irving Kristol) have described themselves as "neoconservatives", the term is used today more by opponents and critics of this political current than by its adherents, some of whom reject even the claim that neoconservatism remains an identifiable current of American political thought.

Neoconservatism is associated with periodicals such as Commentary and The Weekly Standard and some of the foreign policy initiatives of think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Neoconservative journalists, pundits, policy analysts, and politicians, often dubbed "neocons" by supporters and critics alike, have been credited with (or blamed for) their influence on U.S. foreign policy, especially under the administrations of Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) and George W. Bush (2001-present).

In academia, the term "neoconservative" refers more to journalists, pundits, policy analysts, and institutions affiliated with the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and with Commentary and The Weekly Standard than to more traditional conservative policy think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and the Hudson Institute or periodicals such as Policy Review or National Review.

According to Irving Kristol, former managing editor of Commentary and now a Senior Fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington and the publisher of the hawkish magazine The National Interest, a neoconservative is a "liberal mugged by reality," meaning someone who has become more conservative after seeing the practical impact of liberal foreign and domestic policies

How's that? And keep your points - I don't want you to do me any favors, pally.

It's actually a misnomer in a way, another name for what some political experts call a neoliberal. Neoconservatives/neoliberals are extreme right-wing Republicans who borrow and spend money like there's no tomorrow and use it to fund the military-industrial complex and line their own pockets while they're at it (think Halliburton).
