I'll tell you where I'm coming from. These fucking "conservatives" are always hiding their agenda and the reason is simple - they are the party of less liberty. They deep down want to control people. Their core belief is that we're better off if certain moral notions they like are enforced on everyone else. Call yourself what you are, will you? You're nothing more than the moralizing mirror image of the liberals who think we should all be hyper-regulated like children because we don't know what's good for us.

Keep in mind that the sides are sort of equally comprised of proportions of normal people, and issue-zealots. I'm conservative. I'd like more liberty. But, I don't want you murdering your landlord. Is that a moral position? Yeah. Want to argue that it's thus not the proper role of government to interfere in that murder?
