Comment: You are very ignorant for a Professor of " history", or more likely, you teach what you want the U.S. to be, not the reality of what we are.
 We are a constitutional Republic, not a freaking " Democracy".
" But few seem to understand that the "liberal" in their definition refers to the freedom of the individual, freedom from inequality and repression, from abuse and terror.", There is no implied, or explicate freedom from " inequality".
FDR's so called "  freedom from want," can not be realized with out first depriving another individual, or group of their liberty, i.e. the government can not help anybody, with out first harming another.
