Conservatives Can't Drop the Ball on Classical Liberalism

The term "liberal" comes from the Latin liber, meaning "free."  Classical liberalism is all about individual liberty.  Even Wikipedia gets this right.  Classical liberalism "advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; civil liberties under the rule of law with especial emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech."  In short, it's the political philosophy of the American founders.
