Yes, but Liberal values support it. Conservative values oppose it.
Conservative: Laissez-faire, let people make their own mistakes.
Liberal: We know best, and we must help people to make the right decision through legislation. Smoking, let's make laws against it. Transportation, let's encourage it by increasing gas taxes. House color, people can't choose; we'll choose for them. Strip clubs, these are establishments that abuse women, make a mockery of feminist ideas, and need to be shut down.
Values being forced on others is typically a socialist (Liberal Democrat) trait.
There are of course exceptions. Like when insane Conservatives, for some inexplicable reason, move to ban gay marriage.
I guess the Liberal fad of forcing one's values on others is so popular that some Conservatives have caught the virus. Sickening, and it makes you wonder what all those patriots died for in the American Revolutionary War. It surely wasn't liberty.
