Classic Liberal. We had the only President to go back in office more
than 2 terms. We had FDR, Kennedy, and Clinton. And don't
forget that we never had a President resign. Nixon did however............

Whichever one allows me to own a gun.

The traditional definitions of politcal jargon have long been dismantled.
If you tried to explain to a present day liberal that neo-cons are essentialy the intellectual elite of the democratic party, you would be correct but, they would look at you as if you had three heads.
Henry M Jackson
Norman Podhoretz
Irving Kristol
and so on

Almost. A "Classic Liberal" would be someone like Jefferson, for example, these days known as "Originalist" so as not to confuse people by using the word "Liberal," which now means "opposes 100% of Jeffersonian ideas."
You know enough history to realize that Hitler and the whole National Socialist thing was pretty popular before "the war," right? Well, THOSE people needed to distance themselves from Hitler and started calling themselves "liberals" because its connotation at the time was "all-American." Since then, exactly ZERO of their policy positions have shifted from their original fascist/nazi/progressive* stance. Move a 1930s Nazi into 2009 America and you have a "Moderate Democrat." Debating that demands misinformation and/or lying.

I'm sorry to say I fail to understand ,much less appreciate your definitions.A liberal is one who is for individual freedom to work for the betterment of human beings and thereby benefit the society.
