The closest party to Classical Liberalism in the US today is the Libertarian Party, but a great many Classical Liberals are independents.
The problem with the Libertarian Party is the influence from Ayn Rand who was certainly not a Classical Liberal.
No, just a hateful old bi - - witch.

She wasn't a hateful old anything when she wrote -We The Living-. It was a scathing condemnation of the Soviet Union and Communism. That, I think, is the best piece she ever wrote. It was very early in her career, and written pre 1940.

Well, she certainly didn't show any love toward the downtrodden. In an interview with Mike Wallace, she said Christ was wrong to show compassion to those in need, and that they didn't deserve love. If that's not hatefulness, then it's certainly hardheartedness.
