Can someone kindly explain to me why "conservatives" tend to want as Reagan put it, to: "Get the government off the backs of the American people..."; preach old fashioned values like "freedom" and "liberty"... BUT want a court and government that limits freedom?

Homosexual rights drive conservatives nuts. Women have no right to decide what to do with a pregnancy. They want the right to display THEIR religious symbols on government property. Jail for folks who burn a flag. Ditto for those who don't want to be subject to a pledge or school prayer. Don't look at those pictures or movies or go to that club - nude women are evil! Certain sex acts between consenting adults in private are illegal.

It seems conservatives are always looking to LIMIT freedom rather than expand it...
