Was neo-conservatism simply re-packaged New Deal Liberalism?

[LBJ Revivalist]

I've always seen Liberals--modern, post 60s Liberals--hold a lot of anger toward Neo-Conservatives and the ideology itself. But I don't see a big difference between Neo-Conservatism and pre 1970s Liberalism.

Consider:
"Big Government" Domestically-- Check (See Medicare Part D, for example)
Wilsonian Foreign policies-- Check (see Iraq)
Insistence on "traditional" values-- Check (see Neo-Cons on gay marriage; compare this to the Dixiecrats on matters of race and homosexuality)

New Deal Liberals=Neocons=Dixiecrats

did I get that right?

Neoconservatism is a result of backlash against liberalism by ex-liberals who are in many ways still fundamentally liberal.

Only the Wilsonian thing is actually neo-conservative.

For instance, I doubt that neo-cons even have a stance on gay marriage.

Not completely either. You think neocons would have any interest in a League of Nations?
