She's a black conservative who has written books denouncing the welfare state.

I have no idea where she stands on foreign policy. http://townhall.com/columnists/StarParker/2009/12/28/the_real_war_front_is_at_home

ANd according to this, she's running for Congress: http://www.worldmag.com/articles/16512

Well from the article you've linked her foreign policy sounds neocon. But it's hard to tell from just one article.

You think this sounds neocon?
As we talked about advancing freedom in other societies, we bloated our own government and violated and abused the principles of freedom -- private property and personal responsibility -- on which our own society was founded and built.

As we advanced into the first decade of the 21st century, we chalked up military victories abroad and collapsed at home.

We may speak with thanks and a sense of accomplishment that there has been no repeat of 9/11. But we might also wonder why those who seek our destruction need to bother when we do their work for them ourselves.

She very well may be a hawk, but her fiscal positions don't openly lend themselves to the social liberal aspect to neoconism.
