Yeah, the word liberal, like much of our language, has been bastardized. I think the stupidly simplistic left-right paradigm doesn't even begin to encompass the complete picture of possible political persuasions, nor the subtlety of how different they can be. I consider myself to be somewhere in the realm of Libertarian-ism and anarcho-capitolism. I tell people I'm a limited government liberal though to keep it simple and get a conversation started.
True liberalism has only to do with how you think, than what you think. The actual process of your thoughts, not the outcome of them. Therefor, you could come to the conclusion that there should be no minimum wage after having liberally considered the idea. Yes, you can be both "right wing" and liberal.

I think liberal
I vote conservative
The word liberal has been hi jacked by communists.
There is nothing liberal about communist ideals.
Thus children, the only good liberal is a dead communist.
