NeoCon

Initially coined as a derogatory term for liberals - primarily Jewish ones - who became conservatives, the term has evolved to include "national greatness" conservatives (those who favour an expansive, activist foreign policy, especially where promotion of democracy abroad is concerned, over the isolationist impulses of traditional conservatives).

Neocons include such figures as William Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Paul Wolfowitz.
