IMO, it all comes down to power. Democrats want to wield power. Conservatives just want the power to resist those who would hold power over us, IOW, be left alone. Listen to them talk. Its all about power, rule, obey, etc., etc. Nothing in their speech about individual freedom, unless you want to lop off your willie and change your name to Susan.
What you are saying is they want to make laws to shove their liberal policies down our throats.
