Neoconservatism: large government aimed at conservative ends, specifically relating to race, the economy, education, etc, coupled with an aggressive, hawkish, unilateral foreign policy.
I get so frustrated when I hear the word used as if it doesn't have a serious meaning, or as if the foreign policy aspect is the only important part. When Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Irving Kristol, et al. founded the term, it was to do with things like Moynihan's controversial race views from the LBJ and Nixon eras, and not just about hawkishness.
