Did Eisenhower ever really describe himself as a militant liberal?

Question

I've read websites that says he did, but I have not found the original quote cited and dated. Anybody know when and where he said this? I don't want to be like cons and attribute a FAKE quote to somebody just because they founded on quoted.com (without a source and date).

SOME GOOD (CITED) QUOTES FROM EISENHOWER

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, Chance for Peace, April 1953

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas.5 Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, Letter to Edgar Eisenhower, Nov 1954

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, Farewell Address, Jan 1961

"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
- Dwight D Eisenhower, Canada Club Speech, Jan 1946

"Specifically and concretely, this Administration is committed to the development of policies that will bring the greatest good to the greatest number. This means that there must be lifted from the minds of men the fears of disaster, poverty, and old age. Further, this means that appropriate governmental connection with our entire economy must be so adjusted as to develop and sustain a prosperous agriculture, manufacturing, and services, and above all such equitable distribution of the resulting products that the 160 million people will constitute always the finest advertisement for freedom."
- Dwight Eisenhower, Letter to John Foster DUlles, Nov 1953
