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

: a former liberal espousing political conservatism

On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD
on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!
Evidently liberals feel that they know more than Webster. And you're
right, the term "neo con" has been redefined by liberals as some sort
of negative label that they can exploit to rationalize and demonize
those which they cannot debate on issue alone. Liberals tend to label
any idea, concept, or group that they disagree with. "The rich", Neo
con", "Hate Radio", "Religious Zealots", oh, and George W. Bush.

You rigid righties are a trip...neocon may not be the best
definition...American Taliban might be better.
