The Neo-conservatives started off as 'hawkish socialists' liberals, and even some Trotskyites, in the Democratic party.

They eventually switched parties and brought their love of big government statism with them.

They were essentially in support of Great Society-esque plans AND warfare.

"a neoconservative [is] a liberal who [has] been mugged by reality." -Jeanne Kirkpatrick

I need to pick up the Neo-Con reader. It's somewhere on my list.
