Conservatives want as much freedom as possible with voluntary restraint so that some governing authority doesn’t control our behavior for us.

So, you think conservatives want a government powerful enough to control our behavior if we don't act properly? Interesting.

I have no idea how you managed to read the complete opposite of what my words state, but you did.

And here’s the other point you libertarians consistently miss.

Anarchy is always and will always be followed very quickly by totalitarianism.

In the vacuum of control, the powerful will take control.

Conservatives keep power in check by allowing the masses as much freedom as possible while ruling ourselves. That enables us to rule the rulers. That is completely lost in a society where there is no voluntary restraint (anarchy and its manifold forms).
