Is there any difference between the two? They seem to be the same things to me. I find them quite appealing and may end up being converted.

Paleoconservatism and traditionalist conservatism?

Paleoconservatism is not a term found in UK politics.
But on reading a number of articles on the subject It leads one to suppose that its membership is made up of old traditional conservatives, who tend to despise the Neocons for betraying the conservative cause. It is a question of factionalism around ideology. While each deny the others ideology, Paleo's seem to deny that they even have one, While it is clear to everyone else that they are deeply idealogical.
Old time conservatism can be identified as a strong mixture of anti communistic thought, often libertarian, and anti large business, anti interventionism and full of worries about conspiracies and plots leading from old defeats. There are more flavours, factions, of Paleo than perhaps members. Most are to the extreme right with tendencies to tolerate the old conservative pre integration days and concepts.

Yeah, on second thought, paleoconservatism and traditionalist conservatism are not the same. I've noticed that there's some racism among paleos that isn't really found among traditionalists. Paleos are like the John Birch Society and traditionalists go back to Burke. I agree with traditionalists more.
