Conservatives like social order established according to proven moral values, reward for hard work and playing by the rules. If authority establishes rules that work against sound moral order, which is what liberals routinely do, then we rebel against that authority.

Proven moral values as perceived by a conservative impute power to the individual operating in self-interest which,in proper context, recognizes that consideration of the well-being of our fellow man IS part of that self-interest. Hence, the stronger individuals become, the stronger society becomes.

Liberals seek to impute power to the state and individual freedom and discretion has to be severely limited to vest that power in the state.

To characterize conservatives to be generally compliant or anti-authority is an inaccurate, over-simplified generalization.
