Yes it does.

You cannot change the basis of a definition,
its very essence,
and still call it the same thing.
Especially just because you think so.

I do not agree with all of the tenants of liberalism
but I don't try to change the definition of the word to fit what I think.
That is utter nonsense.

I will agree that definitions change slowly over time.
But they do not switch to there opposites because one small group
of people think they should.

I want to use words that accurately portray reality.
According to your (wiki's) definition, Liberals champion individual rights. I believe that is a myth. Liberals champion GROUP rights at the expense of individuals.
If they truly support individual rights, I would be identified as one.
Maybe I should simply identify myself as a Jeffersonian Constitutionalist.
