There are Neo-cons and Paleo-cons. It can't be said one group is more or less conservative than the other. They just have a different opinion on what role government should play in our lives. The neo-cons have a more active approach than the paleo-cons, who believe in limited government intervention.

You have liberal neo-cons, (G.H.W. Bush) and conservative neo-cons  (George W. Bush), and you have conservative paleo-cons (Pat Buchanan), and liberal ones (Colin Powell)
