Well stated. I think that many who are berated as "libertarians" here on FreeRepublic really lean towards a classical liberal worldview. It is a shame that the term "liberal" has been so misused to describe one step along the path liberal-socialist-communist, that it is almost unusable in the classical sense.

Indeed

Someone once asked me the difference between 'libertarianism' and 'classical liberalism'. My response was that classical liberalism requires (fittingly enough given the term 'classical' implying a connection with the ancients) a sense of proportion and a connection with reality that seem unnecessary for libertarianism.
