Most of the article you linked is behind a paywall, so I couldn't get to the meat of it. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I do think that there are overlapping lines between classic liberalism and modern conservatism, but I view modern conservatism (at least in the U.S.) as holding on to traditional values and order. Classic liberalism in my view is more of a "live and let live" approach, albeit with law and order. I think labels are getting in the way and how those labels are presented to us through the media.
