modern liberals have hijacked the "liberal" label

Wrong. Foolish conservatives applied the liberal label to leftists as an insult back in the day (decades ago). Now we've lost one of the best words to describe our economic policy (especially how central liberty is to it).

Stupid American conservatives turned the word "liberal" into an insult meaning "libertine." It's our fault, not the leftists'.

Well, they seem to have accepted the label and they're running with it.
