You know, at least seven of the above ten principles speak to why libertarians are not conservatives.

[Dead Corpse]

You are right. According to #6, everyone is either a little bit stupid or a little bit evil and therefore any means to constrain their impulses, even if only self destructive, are good and right.

A conservative says you have a Right to Life. A Libertarian agrees and takes it to the level that you are within your Rights to do things that will destroy your life. We won't stop you, but we will laugh, point, and use you as an example of what not to do. A conservative would just get a cop to shoot you or throw you in jail to "save your life".

Which on makes more sense to you?

[Pessimist]

Which 7 would those be?

[Sam Cree]

I think there are a good many libertarians, perhaps most, who understand perfectly well that their cherished individual freedom can only exist when those who exercise it are John Quncy Adam's "virtuous people."

Libertarians and "conservatives" do tend to define "virtue" somewhat differently though.
