I simply don't think the neoconservative label is of much use in political discourse. It means too many different things to different people. (Although Justin's correct that those who are most often identified as being neoconservatives share a fairly consistent ideology.)
BTW, even though Bennet studied with Strauss, I really don't think that makes him a Straussian. Strauss was an atheist and a relativist/nihilist of some sort, and, unless his writings are extremely esoteric, Bennett is neither.
