Ken Arndt's article used the expression 'classical Liberal' to
describe what is meant by 'Liberal' today.

I feel that 'classical Liberal' identifies not contemporary
Liberals but an older meaning of the word, associated with
laissez faire and small government.  Modern Liberalism I would
call neo-Liberal, because it seems modern liberals expect
more from government in terms of social control (redistribution
of wealth, "affirmative action", etc), and thus distinguishes
itself from classical Liberalism.
