It said "classically liberal" not "modern liberal".

Modern liberals are what we call Marxists, and of them you are correct.

Classical liberals are what we call "libertarians", who do indeed support those ideals in red.

Note also the lowercase 'l' in "libertarian".

Uppercase 'L' is the Libertarian Party which is something else, largely unrelated to classical liberalism.

You make a good point, but I will say this. Going back to
1972, the Democrat party ventured out onto it’s new Liberal
path.

Now I get your classically liberal intention here, but who
is this guy polling? Anyone in his stride in 1972, is now
in his 90s.

Is he going to nursing homes and finding classically liberal
people worth their salt, to poll?

At some point the reference to “classically liberal” loses
its validity.

It seems to me that it’s likely he’s actually polling
Liberals, and not the classic variety.

He didn’t reference Libertarians. If he had I wouldn’t
have responded to his comments as I did.

Did I miss a reference to Libertarians?
