I think the operational description of the Cato Institute is that of 'neoliberal ideologue', not necessarily 'conservative' or 'liberal' (not that those two latter terms have much meaning anymore, there more like keys to rather mutable dictionary entrys whose meaning fluctuates with the daily political intrigues).
