No. "Liberal" in this context is a political philosophy that values education, social justice, and religious tolerance. "Democrat" in this context is a member of a specific United States political party. It is possible to be a Democrat and not be liberal. Many Democrats are elected from coservative parts of the country becase they share the values of their voters. Conversely it is possible to be a liberal and not be a Democrat. Many liberal people do not feel the Democratic party adequately represents their interests.

Is Mark Zuckerberg a Democrat or a Republican?

The answer previous to mine that stated that Mark Zuckerberg is a republican is factually inaccurate, Mark Zuckerberg has stated himself that he is neither a republican or democrat, however he is from a Jewish family and is an atheist, both tend to lean to the left. He also graduated from Phillips-Exeter Academy, the finest high school in the country, and the same as two of Americans greatest Authors John Irving and Gore Vidal (both very liberal). He in addition attended Harvard (extremely liberal) and is seemingly anti-censorship, and very charitable. Through reasonable assumption I would guess he would be very liberal and unfaithful to either political party.

Is classical liberalism the same political philosophy as the liberalism today?

No. In fact, "classical liberalism" is almost the exact opposite of the "liberal" positions of the modern day. The reason is simple; "liberal" is good. Everybody wants their views to be considered "liberal", and so the very WORD "liberal" becomes distorted. At its root, "liberal" refers to someone who supports liberty and freedom for each individual. Modern "liberals" are more concerned with controlling the behaviors of individuals so that everyone behaves the same way.
