You are technically correct. The distinction lies in the way the followers of these ideologies understand their philosophy. Libertarians in America are all about liberty from government. For them ideally government is super-limited. Liberals are better understood in terms of traditional thought. Conservatives wish to conserve the “traditional way” of thinking, living, and organizing society while liberals want to “liberate” humans from the those “traditional” ways.

Your statement is true but Democrats, who call themselves liberals, are not that. They are the most conservative party. They're much more conservative than Republicans on most issues. For example, ideas about "science" or "nature" for example.
