Conservatism is about ORDERED liberty — not “absolute liberty” or anarchy. “100% freedom” is a mess. Government (which is inherently restrictive of absolute freedom) should be limited, but is necessary.

100% liberty doesn’t result in or entail anarchy, chaos, social disorder, or personal libertinism. And under 100% laissez-faire and libertarianism gov’t still exists. But all it does is defend life, liberty, and property. The best social order is one based on 100% individual freedom and 100% individual responsibility, with a ton of natural, benevolent, voluntary, social interaction and cooperation.
Kindly tell us exactly what you mean by “ordered” liberty. Whose orders? Who enforces those orders? WHO DECIDES??? MY liberty is bounded ONLY by the exact same rights as my neighbor. My “orders” come ONLY from God Almighty. If your “ordered liberty” does not meet these two criteria, it is anathema to a FREE Society. So please elucidate. Too many of you use that term without definition, something more attuned to the Pel-Lousy/Dingy Hairy/Obambi playbook than to a site devoted to a small, CONSTITUTIONAL government.
