A Libertarian favors personal responsibility, but takes a narrow view on what causes community harm.
A Conservative may respect the libertarian ideal of "as it does no harm, let each do as he will", but is informed by history that activities the Libertarian holds harmless are in fact associated with broader harm.
A Libertine couldn't care less about personal responsibility. Let someone else clean up after his mess.

Re: Difference between libertarian, libertine, conservative
A conservative thinks everyone should have a right to express their opinions about freedoms.
A libertarian thinks everyone should have rights that enshrine their freedoms.
A libertine thinks everyone should have a right to certain freedoms.
...
An anarchist thinks everyone should have a right to all freedoms.

Re: Difference between libertarian, libertine, conservative
The problem with libertines is that they take advantage of Liberty. The way to prevent that is to severely curtail Liberty.
The very best way to protect Liberty is to eliminate it.
And thus the modern Conservative who does everything in his power to protect Liberty. And any one who says Conservatives are anti-Liberty is a liar.
Of course there are a few problems. Like a Black Market in Liberty.
I aim to misbehave.
And thus ruin it for everyone else.

I have started episode 1. Seems like at least as much fun as disputing with ijots.

"Progressives" think they know better than you how to live.

I support the Muslims in their efforts to stone Atheists. We really don't need to put up with a bunch of pricks who evangelize their belief in nothing. They are like the gays who will not stop insisting that you notice them.
