They have a moral code on issues such as abortion, gun rights and gay marriage, and they want to force it down everyone's throats just the same as conservatives want to push their moral standards. It goes both ways. If it didn't, conservatives would run this country. Last I checked, abortion was legal, gay marriage is legal, marijuana is being legalized and guns have more and more restrictions.
Perhaps conservatives aren't aggressive enough?
They do, but not on all those you listed. When the position requires less government intervention, such as in the case of gay marriage and abortion, it is not forcing anyone to accept anything. It is only saying that the government should not be making that call. There is no excuse like that on gun rights. This is why the libertarian stance is pro-choice and pro-SSM (with some saying government out of marriage altogether even though it has been a civil contract more than anything else throughout history).
