I don't think that you can be a "classical liberal" and a "paleoconservative" at the same time. Perhaps whoever chose the latter was looking for "neoconservative", which is very different. I don't think there's any argument that Flynn was a "classical liberal" though. James James 03:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I work at an institution that is often described using both terms. Paleocons arguably borrowed from the earlier classical liberals with regards to economic liberalism (free markets). Both labels are frequently applied to libertarians, and Flynn was pretty close to qualifying for that moniker. Dick Clark 15:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
