We don’t play the favoritism game, unless it’s simply favoring liberty over force. And that’s the ultimate difference. Libertarians place a higher priority on individual liberty and personal responsibility than we place on government power. Neither conservatives nor liberals can make that claim. For them, it’s power over principle.
It’s that prioritizing between liberty and obedience to authority that sets us apart; that’s how we should define ourselves. And that prioritization is based on the moral value of liberty.
