If you were to examine the records and speeches of most famous liberals from 40 or more years ago, you would probably count them as what we call a "conservative" in our current culture.

People are getting wrapped up in semantics. A liberal today, is not what a liberal was 40 years ago - or 200 years ago.

Well that's completely wrong. My father in law is Democrat and except for myself more conservative than any man I've ever met, including my own parents. Matter of fact that whole side of the family is Democrat. And I'd trust some of their judgements more than I would of the neocons in power right now. The Democrats were one of the original conservative parties. Can't say that about the Whigs now can we?

Never thought I'd see the day and not a day too soon. Neo-cons criticizing each other

Did you mean "Coulter" instead of "Horowitz?" Here is what Horowitz said in this article:

In Coulter’s book, Democrats (whom she inexplicably conflates with liberals)
