When you're a little kid, you expect your parents and other elders to give you pointers on life – look both ways before crossing, don't talk to strangers driving unmarked vans, that sort of thing.

That just doesn't sit well when you grow up, but it seems to bother many conservatives that adults are capable of making their own decisions and value judgments independent of outside guidance.
