"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.

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).

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

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.
