I read something once that made a lot of sense. For the left, freedom means "freedom from". For the right, freedom means "freedom to".

When I was taught it it was not pure left/right. Rather a method to differentiate levels of Libertarianism form other branches of liberalism focused on social justice (rising tide and all that). Any idea where you read it? Poli sci wonk phrasing being included into more popular literature is always fun to see.
