The "liberals" of the Weimar Republic were for small government, the "conservatives" against free speech, for government handouts to big industries and against citizens right to a firearm outside the military. The "liberals" of today in the US are the "conservatives" of the Weimar Republic.

What I'm saying is that your reasoning is as simplistic as the reasoning that the Democrats of today are for slavery because the Democrats of the 1860s were pro-slavery. I wasn't claiming that liberalism of that time period is same as it is today.
