Not even close. Modern "liberals" are authoritarians who want to use the power of government to force everyone to bow to their "enlightened" opinions.
Classic liberals are now referred to as libertarians, because the liberal label has become something else entirely.
or, they want to restrict the government from its forcing pseudo morality and the "enlightened" opinions of "conservatives" down our throats: vis-a-vis abortion rights.
Yeah, not as simple as you want to think, is it, when you can't really separate the motives and actions of extremists from either side, and you let them convince you that such philosophies have changed?
