The problem your argument presents is that it lacks any discernible depth.
Neither Friedman, nor Buckley were limited by colloquial expressions... when they referred to themselves as liberal, they did so in the true sense of the word, which as even you might guess, represents the pure antithesis of what you actually 'believe' the word means.
What the colloquial liberal 'believes' 'liberal' means, is a lie... a deceit, fraudulently advanced, as a means to mislead the ignorant.
Liberal literally means the advocate of liberty.
The Liberal-ism they believe, contests liberty. It runs from it, rejecting the responsibilities that are essential to liberty.
Liberals are, in every sense of the word: Communists... children who need others to chronically fulfill your endless needs and, fools who believe that just because they reject the responsibilities that sustain freedom, that shouldn't mean they can't be free... .
In short, Liberals are delusional.
Old time liberals thought the private sector could protect society from government. The Industrial Revolution and its attendant horrors - of laissez-faire capitalism - proved them wrong.
Modern liberals think the government needs to try to protect society from the private sector. They are right.
Gilligan, you truly are an abyss of ignorance.
Why don't ya just go dig up Zinn and let him speak for himself. That way I could refute his sorry ass first hand and wouldn't have to tear through it with you as dead weight.
Not enough folks calculate the damage done to American children by the Liberal 'educators' who use the the communist American-hater Howard Zinn's history texts as the basis for what is taught.
And I use 'taught' in only the most pejorative sense.
That's ironic coming from a hyper-partisan homeschooler.
So...you neither understand the term 'ironic,' nor know the history texts that I endorse.
Here's one:
"Freedom Just Around the Corner: A New American History: 1585-1828,"
