Giving it your best effort, please explain what it is that makes Palin a NeoCon. Is it her ideas? If so, please list those ideas and why they are in league with Neocons. Is it her stance on foreign policy? If so, please square the Neocon's foreign policy views with Palin's.
Thanks ...

The typical neo-con, in my book, focuses on God, guns, and gays.
They want religion to pervade politics, which is absolutely frightening to me. Palin has said that her religion is inseparable from the decisions and policies she makes. Does that mean science books must teach creationism and absurd biblical origins of the earth? Does that mean knowledge would be HIGHLY censored? Because we know she's all for censorship and will even fire librarians who disagree.
They have liberal (free, open, unregulated) stances on gun control, which I have no problem with.
And they want gay marriage and gay rights to be abolished solely because of religious issues (see point #1). Why should gays not be allowed to marry? If your justification is Biblical, then you are shoving your religion on others. If Palin believes gay marriage is wrong, then that's fine. She has religious reasons for believing this. However, to force your religion down other people's throats by changing laws is ludicrous and absolutely against our fundamentals.
So the focus on religion makes her a neo-con more than anything else. And this is not to say that all religious people are unfit to lead - just keep it to yourself. You can be a religious person and not let it invade your politics. Her judgment and high and mighty tone really bother me. More than anything else, I think Americans should fear a leader who is a religious fanatic. They are scary people.
