Who was the "truest" Liberal?

As I've long maintained, Thomas Jefferson of course. Well, it could be Andrew Jackson...

Probably FDR.  Certainly not LBJ, as he only supported the CRA and VRA for political expediency.  I could see a case for JFK or Wilson, but since FDR is such a liberal hero now, I think he would be it.

So Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act and is just a political pig meanwhile Wilson was a ardent segregationist and is a true liberal, can you explain me that?

The litany of progressive legislation passed in his first term and his visionary foreign policy may figure in that.

Definitly NOT jefferson, probably Carter or Clinton

Heh. Who was the one that practically founded public education in the state of Virginia? Fought first for dis-establishment of religion in the same state? Stood against the banks and moneyed industrial interests that would have seen fit to bend the government towards there interests?Opposed an obtrusive federal government that would hamper the common man?

Benjamin Harrison deserves a mention here as well.

I don't see how a protectionist, imperialist, Gilded Age Republican is remotely a "liberal" either in the classical or modern sense.

C'mon General. You know none of that matters as long as you pursued destructive pro-silver monetary policies.
