FOR THE RECORD: I consider most Republicans Modern Liberals (in denial) and all Democrats to be Modern Liberals.
John Locke was the founder of Classical Liberalism, that our rights are natural and exist at birth. These rights are unalienable, and role of government is to protect those rights, as when government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish that tyrannical government.
The three primary rights listed by John Locke are Life, Liberty and Property. Property doesn't just mean "land," it means your money, your belongings, your assets, your contracts, etc. It is the role of government to protect your life, your liberty and your property.
The Ninth Amendment reads: "The enumeration in this Constitution, of certain rights, is not to be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
The implications of this Amendment are enormous. It says that our rights even super cede the Constitution itself. The our rights are God's Law, and the Constitution is Man's Law.
---------------------------------------------------------
Modern Liberals do not believe in this concept, they are Statists. They believe that our rights are created by government, and as such, may be denied or disparaged by that same government. Such entities are not called rights, they are called privileges.
Furthermore, on the issue of private property, Modern Liberals as diametrically opposed to the views of John Locke, as they believe in redistribution of wealth and subjecting that redistribution to the tyranny of majority rule. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs," --- Karl Karx.
Our rights, life, liberty and property are sacrosanct, above the tyranny of the majority, as such, some of them were even enumerated in the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights did not create rights, it simply named a few, and the Ninth Amendment clarified any confusion concerning that.

So Modern Liberalism is a combination of Statism and Marxism (Marxism itself is not the most evil philosophy in the world, there are forms of Non-State Marxism which is often how small tribal communities functioned at the beginning of our civilization). When Statism and Marxism are combined, you get ... Communism.
Republicans: 75% Statist, 25% Marxist
Democrats: 25% Statist, 75% Marxist
Overall effect: 50% Statist, 50% Marxist, total Communism. The Cold War was a battle between Corporate Communism and State Communism. One is hidden, the other is overt. 1776 HERE WE COME!
