Rose,

  I never blamed the neoconservative ideology on anybody. Now that you mention it though, neoconservatism does have it's roots in liberalism. Ever hear of Leo Strauss?

How about Irving Kristol?

  Neoconservatism has it's roots in liberalism. That is just a fact wether you want to believe it or not.

 

  Neoconservatives are all for big, intrusive government. Conservatives oppose them.

  Neoconservatives are all about big deficit spending. Conservatives are opposed to that.

  Neoconservatives are all about big centralized government. Conservatives are opposed to it.

  Neoconservatives are all for governement interventionism, foreign, domestic, economic and military. Conservatives are opposed to interventionism.

  Neoconservatives do not mind treating the constitution as an impediment to be overcome or simply an inconvenient nuisance to be ignored. Conservatives believe in a strict constructionist interpretation of the constitution.
