Paleocon

Yesterday while doing some "research" at work I came across the term paleoconservative, so I looked it up on the always-trustworthy Wikipedia. I thought it was an interesting political movement - especially how it distinguished itself from neoconservativism. Here's a paragraph from the article that I thought summed it up:

The phrase paleoconservative ('old conservative') was originally a tongue-in-cheek rejoinder used in the 1980's to differentiate traditional conservatives from neoconservatives and Straussians. Pat Buchanan calls neoconservatism 'a globalist, interventionist, open borders ideology.'[158] The paleoconservatives argue that the 'neocons' are illegitimate interlopers in the conservative movement. As Stephen J. Tonsor said of former Marxists who, as 'neocons', had joined the conservative movement: 'It is splendid when the town whore gets religion and joins the church. Now and then she makes a good choir director, but when she begins to tell the minister what he ought to say in his Sunday sermons, matters have been carried too far.'

If nothing else I thought it was a humorous description of neocons.
