s: and where does that leave the right?

Typically being defined as "right wing" rather than moderate in this country involves an emphasis on social issues -- as in opposition to feminism, gay rights, abortion rights -- a covert or overt appeal to white supremacists, and an opposition to Communism that borders on or overtakes McCarthyism.

s: likewise what constitutes "limited" in this case in regards to "limited capitalism".

Capitalism practiced with some level of government oversight as opposed to a laissez-faire system.

s: Lets face it, modern progessives are hardly liberal in the classical sense.

What do you mean by "liberal in the classical sense?" And is that the common usage of the term "liberal" when used in political discussion?
