Informal US word for one reacting to liberalism (6)

I believe the answer is:

neocon

(Other definitions for neocon that I've seen before include "Traditionalist" , "A supporter of the policies of President George Bush? (abbr)" , "Someone advocating a new form of democratic capitalism" , "Right-wing American" , "Right-winger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
