You have completely misunderstood the point of your own quote. This is a description of what the neo-conservatives were objecting to, not what they admired. You have just proven Nixon was not a neo-conservative, by associating his policies with those the neo-cons despised.
Irving was indeed himself mugged by the "reality" of conservative philosophy and enfolded leftist policies such as a lack of objection to welfare programs, international "revolution" through nation-building/militarily imposed "democracy" and application of Fabian Socialism/Keynesianism coupled with a socially conservative viewpoint.
That sounds like Nixon to me.
