You need government and you need it to restrict people's freedoms sometimes.

Freedom doesn't need to be restricted. People with an inclination to do violence need to be restricted.

The conservative says the reason for government to exist is to restrain evil and make it possible for good men to do good, with good and evil being defined by the Bible.

Depends on what the definition of evil is. The definition seems to change depending on who is in power. The Bible says that it is proper only to pray to the God of Abraham. Would you make it a crime, punishable by fines and imprisonment, for prayer to any God other than the God of Abraham?

...you are framing these questions in order to paint a picture of me as being a Nazi.

The only person who can paint a picture of you as a Nazi is you.

I ran at one time as a Libertarian...I soon realized it was a mistake...

To run under the banner of a party without knowing where they stand forces me to question your competence.

As I have stated I ran on the Libertarian ticket to gain experience in running a campaign. It was a lot like picking up an unloaded gun to see how it feels. I didn’t have to worry about it firing because (libertarians rarely win) it was unloaded. Second I was trying to gain experience like on the job training. This was a good place to try to gain that experience. Regardless of the Libertarian Philosophy, I would still learn how to run a campaign and I could polish my public speaking skills. I would also have my positions heard as a real candidate. This is as if I accepted a job at DELL computers to gain experience even though as a Gun owner I disagree with their support of Handgun Control International or don’t as a Christian believe in providing benefits to live in same sex or otherwise couples without the benefit of being married.

I expect no less than for you to totally misconstrue this as being somehow “Bad” of me and to blow it all out of reasonable proportion. I have been truthful and forthcoming and believe me only a select few will fail to notice your deceitful tactics for what they really are. You represent your party well.
