Guessing by OP the definition of liberal here is libertarian?

Over time, the meaning of liberalism began to diverge in different parts of the world. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica: "In the United States, liberalism is associated with the welfare-state policies of the New Deal programme of the Democratic administration of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whereas in Europe it is more commonly associated with a commitment to limited government and laissez-faire economic policies."

No, a liberal, ie someone who espouses liberalism, the free market capitalist ideology. Libertarians are anti-state liberals.
