Social conservatives recognize that certain behaviors have consequences, LEFTIST consequences, and therefore it is within the realm of government to restrain those behaviors.

You are describing social-engineering totalitarians, not any form of "conservative". A genuine "social conservative" influences by leadership and example, and eschews government as he eschews other forms of evil. A counterfeit "social conservative" whines for his welfare check in the form of guvmint doing his work for him, and eagerly offers his wrists and ankles for fettering (since he is too lazy to get up and work, he does not notice any loss in having them chained).
