What were the issues and interests of the New Right movement in America?

The New Right was concerned with many of the issues that
we now see the Republican Party emphasizing today.  These have generally been issues of
smaller government, a more assertive nationalism, and traditional social
values.

In terms of smaller government, the New Right was
interested in lower taxes and reduced government spending.  It particularly wanted to
reduce spending on social welfare programs.  At the same time, the New Right generally
wanted to spend more on the military so as to be more able to project force.  It did not
want a timid foreign policy but rather one which pursued American power and interests. 
Finally, the New Right has been identified with the social concerns of the religious
rights.  These are things like opposition to abortion and to
homosexuality.
