I've heard the arguments and most of the time it's just semantics. They are very, very close. Regardless, the United States was not born Liberal if you use the modern-day America Liberal as a guide.
I think the point of the article is to point out that it was born of what was liberal thinking at the time. Any similarities to the liberal movement of today, by design or by luck are just that: similarities.... then again, one can't deny that in spite of the differences, there are still similarities.
Same can be said of conservative thinking then and now.
Also of note: Some conservative ideas then are liberal now, and visa versa.
