George Will on Colbert: Conservatives versus Liberals

Colbert: What do you think are the differences between conservatives and liberals?

Will: The difference between truth and confusion, basically... A slightly longer answer is that the competing values are freedom and equality at all times. Conservatives tend to favor freedom and are willing to accept inequalities of outcome in the free market. Liberals tend to favor equality of outcome and are willing to sacrifice and circumscribe freedom in order to get it.
