Am I supposed to be impressed by your title or what.........

I looked up your Wicki link.....big fart....

"Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism[1] and laissez-faire liberalism,[2] or, in much of the world, simply called liberalism) is a doctrine stressing individual freedom and limited government. This includes the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional limitations of government, free markets, and individual freedom from restraint as exemplified in the writings of Adam Smith,...

For the most part, that is the conservative core.

Why the fancy, self-endowed title...?

"Why the fancy, self-endowed title? [i.e., Classical Liberalism]"

I am not responsible for the gaps in your education. "Classical liberal" is a term long used in the United States, and is what was meant by "liberal" for more than a century before socialist-leaning Democrats appropriated the term in the United States because it sold better than "socialist" or even "progressive."
