Libertarian: Conservative or Liberal?

Libertarians are not “left” or “right” or a combination of the two. Libertarians believe that on every issue you have the right to decide for yourself what’s best for you and to act on that belief, so long as you simply respect the right of other people to do the same. How does this compare with the left and right? Today’s liberals tend to value personal liberty, but want significant government control of the economy. Today’s conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but want to use the government to uphold “traditional values.” Libertarians, in contrast, support both personal and economic liberty. Libertarianism is the only political movement that consistently advocates a high degree of both personal and economic liberty. http://www.theadvocates.org/libertarianism-101/101-frequently-asked-questions/
