Conservatives also see unenumerated rights in the Constitution, just not the right to abortion, whores and sodomy.

Close. The constitution enumerates powers for the government.

Some conservatives (but no libertarians I know) will claim the states have powers beyond those enumerated in the US constitution. The 14th ammendment leaves those wanting greater power for the states without a legal basis except the commerce clause (putting them in a camp with FDR and all the other libs).

I'd be willing to bet no Freeper will support the government enforcing the no sodomy rule in their bedrooms. (sodomy covers a lot of things).
