[edit] Father of neoconservativism
Arthur Vandenberg is indeed the father of Republican neoconservativism, as I will be happy to document. Neoconservativsim orginiated on September 6 1943 at the Mackinac Conferance at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, to which a Michigan State Historical marker stands. Any other such so-called meaning of "neoconservativsim" such as is popular today is assigned by persons other than "neoconservatives." I will be happy to document the evidence.

- From the Wikipedia article: "Broadly sympathetic to Woodrow Wilson's idealistic goals to spread American ideals of government, economics, and culture abroad"; (Neoconservatism_in_the_United_States#Origins), i.e. Republican internationalism = neoconservativism, as opposed to traditional conservative isolationism. nobs 00:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
