You claimed to vote for Neo-Cons.

I don't recall claiming to vote for Neo anything.
You said you voted for George W. Bush and he is most certainly by anyone's measure a Neo-Con.
I've never heard him call himself that.
George W. Bush's policies sometimes align with the neoconservative political ideology. I don't think he's ever called himself that formally.
what used to be Reagan Democrats all voting for him.
Neoconservatism emphasizes foreign policy as the paramount responsibility of government, maintaining that America's role as the world's sole superpower is indispensable to establishing and maintaining global order.

Bush is definitely a neoconservative.
I think you're thinking of 'compassionate conservative' though- he called himself that in the 2000 election.
Yeah, compassionate conservative sounds much better than "neo" that sounds like some nerd came up with it. That was one of the reasons I was drawn to Bush in the first place. I think compassionate conservative is a good term for myself, so I relate to him a lot.

Whether or not the term Neo-Conservative sounds nerdy to you or not, it seems irrelevant, it is a valid and accepted term to describe political leanings.
Not to David Horowitz
Does he even matter?
i would most definitely say entj after having started listening to his radio show and reading his latest book. i would like to hear from anyone who listens to him on a regular basis and has read his books who thinks differently.
prior to getting to know him much better i too saw him as an estj. but he definitely has that innate distrust of authority that i suppose is typical of NTs. the estjs i know and have read about are trusting, at least on some level, of authority and do not question it or and are much more willing to accept "tradition" without question. while bill o'reilly does of course lean more toward the conservative side on many issues, he's most definitely not a "kool-aid drinking idealogue," as he would put it. if he's come to believe in certain ideas then those beliefs were reached through rigorous thought and experience. yes, he's thoughtful (but prone to bloviating--another bill word), open minded (don't let the Te fool you) and acts like most entjs i've read about.
sidenote: while i might not agree with him on *every* issue i think his analyses are almost always accurate and insightful.
