No, neocons are people who think the US should proactively attack countries that may threaten our political position as superpower at some point in the future. They've in recent decades made a political alliance with the morality police, or Christian Right, Moral Majority, theocons, what have you, but they are a distinct group. And that alliance has started to falter recently when the neocons showed that they couldn't give two figs for the theocons' pet issues.

As for:
Quote:
Conservatives do not endorse any government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure simply because we believe it isn't governments place to decide morality for us.
That's probably akin to distancing oneself from the nuttier members of your faction. A theocon isn't a "real" conservative; Fallwell isn't a "real" Christian; PETA aren't "real" environmentalists, etc.

At the moment, the conservative branch of the morality police is primary, just because the conservatives have been in power. Liberal morality police - censors, PC, etc - will be regaining traction soon. I'm just happy that the theocon and PC factions fight each other, and wish that conservative and liberal censors would too.
