The meanings of the terms differ between sources and alter according to the politics of the era. However, Lyndon Johnson could probably be safely called a "radical" in most places, a "liberal" in North America and a "socialist" in Europe without any of these titles being wrong per se. The term "liberal moderate" has a specific meaning in the United States and it would not be wrong to describe him as such (although it would be overly simplistic). Some people thought he was a conservative early in his career, but the evidence rarely bore this out.

What was the political party in control of congress during lyndon b Johnson's term?
When Lyndon Johnson was elected to the presidency in his own right in 1964, he enjoyed the largest Democratic majority in many years in both houses of congress. This is not so much a reflection on how good Lyndon Johnson was, as it was a reflection on how a basically liberal society at that time saw Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was a conservative. But he was not a foaming-at-the-mouth wacko. However at that time in American history, that is how the majority of Americans saw him. It was a different time.
