moderate liberals.

That's getting to be an oxymoron...

Not many left...can anyone name some they consider in that category?

There are--or were--old-fashion liberals who, as I suggest, advocate a social safety net and tweaking of the market system through anti-trust and such, but who generally believe in private property and private decisions on economic matters--wages, prices. The left-liberals I target don't accept the fundamentals of a free society. You can debate what the right label is for the different groups.

Do you distinguish "old-fashion liberals" from "classical liberals"? Louis Brandeis, my favorite Supreme Court Justice, comes to mind.
