Personally, I would prefer that liberal return to its roots, ie the classical liberalism that the Founders advocated. But the term has been hijacked by the social progressive that want to unravel the USA because 'socialist' and 'progressive' left a bad taste in people's mouths. Maybe because of Bernie Sander's 'democratic socialism' they will let it go, time will tell.
In the meantime I just call what you are talking about 'classical liberalism' which is a wordier version of 'conservatism'. The GOP has not hijacked the term, they just added 'compassionate' in front during the 2000's.

Some of them are peaceful?
Ann Coulter is not a conservative. She is an agitator and a divider. She preaches a message of hate, and condones violence (as long as its "conservatives" doing the violence.)
That sadly is how some of people in the world see us. Trump certainly doesn't help.

Nobody is making anybody do anything, Coulter included. I have to really doubt the convictions of someone who silences their own speech because of fear.

I doubt fear had anything to do with it. Most likely pressure from university officials who didn't want another expensive mess to clean up after another liberal left tantrum.
