What's the difference between a libertarian and a conservative?

The signature difference between a libertarian and a conservative is that the libertarian deregulates.  The conservative does not like deregulation preferring government control over questionable individual activities to keep us safe and secure.

Which brings up the second difference between the two:  The libertarian is more concerned about your freedom than your life.  To the libertarian one is "better dead that red."  The libertarian would rather die than live as a slave. The libertarian lives Benjamin Franklin's famous admonition regarding giving up liberty to obtain safety.
