Agreed on Birgeneau, but I don't understand your comment regarding the first two. You realize "neo-con" is short for neo-conservative right?

Globalist neo-conservatives are conservative in name only: they are typically socially indifferent, contemptuous of decentralization and tradition, and radically progressivist in international relations.
Russell Kirk was a conservative. Condi Rice is not.

I'm not sure the author of the article is referring exclusively to social conservatism. There's also fiscal conservatism, which Republicans are associated with.
