The term that fits best, Liberalism .... Classical Liberalism, is what conservatives were originally conserving. That form of Liberalism that was ruggedly individualistic, pro-natural rights, natural law etc.

What a HORROR that the anti-freedom, soft-socialist Left has stolen the term "liberalism". True liberalism, as a philosophy, barely exists today. Only with the libertarians, Austrian economic thinkers, and Objectivists.
