Reread what you wrote. Very slowly.
Regardless what a traditional conservative *was*, anybody who can be
indentified as a traditional conservative *is* just that. A traditional
conservative.
Those who subscribe to neo-conservaTISM
are neo-cons, regardless of previous affilitations or beliefs. One can
"progress" from rational conservatism to neo-conservatism. No detour to
liberalism required.
Any conservative who *was* a liberal *is* a neoconservative. Why is Webster not
sufficient as a source any longer?
Who coined and defined the term 'neocon'? Apparently it wasn't Webster, and I'd
be willing to bet that it was coined as a derogatory term by someone of the
liberal persuasion.
This isn't an archaic definition, it's what is used today:
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
One entry found for neoconservative.
Main Entry: neo·con·ser·va·tive
Pronunciation: -k&n-'s&r-v&-tiv
Function: noun
: a former liberal espousing political conservatism
- neo·con·ser·va·tism /-v&-"ti-z&m/ noun
- neoconservative adjective
