The vestigal trait of neo-conservatism

Neoconservatism long ago ceased to have any meaningful ideological difference with just plain old conservatism.

The glory days of neoconservatism in the 1970s revolved around such committees as the Committee on the Present Danger and the Coalition for a Democratic Majority.
