I have often thought that prominent "conservatives" have taken "liberal" approaches to solving societal problems. (Let's pass a law that ... or let's hold so-and-so financially responsible for ...)

Witness prayer in school legislation, anti-flag burning laws, gun laws and more gun laws, and the like.

Statists are statists. Whether they are called "liberals" or "conservatives" depends on the nature of their personal peeves and prejudices that they want enshrined into The Law. In this respect there is little difference between Dobson, Wildmon, O'Reilly et al and the Hellary/Daschole/Gephardt bunch.
