A new name for an old concept

After the Democratic Party hijacked the term "liberal", libertarians began using the phrase "Classical Liberal", thereby staking our original claim while distancing us from the perversion liberal politics had become.

In the same spirit I propose the term "Classical Patriot". Use it freely to separate yourself from those who pit themselves against the causes of liberty and freedom and still have the gall to call themselves patriots.
