None of this really is important. If you want to know the answer, go to various FreeRepublic threads and you will see that even people who think they are very conservative want the government to step in when it suits their taste.
Ultimately, until more people learn that government is not the solution to every problem, that often the government makes things worse, often the government can not solve a problem, government will continue to grow. But in thread after thread even here, you see people demanding more government.

Your points are good. While not knowing what's truly on the minds of those posters, good conservatives point out their error in ways. If they simply ignorant but sincere, they learn.

Terrific post and it should be read twice.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Many on this board don’t appreciate how what they advocate undermines the very principles of our founding fathers - however well meaning they completely ignore the Tenth Amendment.
Demanding more government?!
Why, there oughta be a law!
