CLARIFICATION
Over at 401Blog, CharLeBois discusses the methodology of the aforementioned blog rankings. As I suspected, the methodology was a little off.
In his post Charles also refers to me as a 'Liberal,' and mentions me in the same sentences as CalgaryGrit, who is in fact a Liberal. Let me clarify. I may espouse 'liberal' or 'left-leaning' principles, however, I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Given the current corrupt state of the Liberal Party I would hope Charles would be careful about who he calls a Liberal.

All right, I will accept the 'Liberal-minded' explanation even though in your original post you did not put the phrase in quotations or use the hyphen as you do in your comment above.
As for the argument that 'liberal' means "classical liberalism" (whatever that means to you) I'm less convinced. 'liberal' has had multiple meanings and definitions over several hundred years. You can try and monopolize it to your own definition, but its not going to work.
