Interesting that this quote has been assigned to Theo. There is no record of him saying that and given that during his time as president being a Liberal was very different than today’s Liberal. Classic Liberalism, during Theo’s time, was a political ideology and a branch of liberalism which advocates civil liberties under the rule of law with an emphasis on economic freedom. Closely related to economic liberalism, it developed in the early 19th century, building on ideas from the previous century as a response to urbanisation and to the Industrial Revolution in Europe and the United States. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

Theo considered himself a Conservative up until he became President. Once in office, his actions became more “Progressive” and became what is known as Social Liberalism, (also known as modern liberalism in the United States[1] and left liberalism or Ordo-liberalism in Germany)[2][3][4] is a political ideology and a variety of liberalism that endorses a regulated free market economy and the expansion of civil and political rights. A social liberal government is expected to address economic and social issues such as poverty, health care, education and the climate using government intervention whilst also emphasising the rights and autonomy of the individual.[5][6][7]

Under social liberalism, the common good is viewed as harmonious with the freedom of the individual.[8] Social liberal policies have been widely adopted in much of the capitalist world.[9] Social liberal ideas and parties tend to be considered centrist or centre-left.[10][11][12][13][14]

In the United States, current political usage of the term 'social liberalism' describes progressivism or cultural liberalism—as opposed to social conservatism or cultural conservatism. A social liberal in this sense may hold either more interventionist or liberal views on fiscal policy.[15]
