ELI5:If Conservatives and right wing politicians like small government and free market, why are they generally for the criminalization of drugs, for the bulk collection of metadata, for bailouts to big banks, and hold views on various other issues that are against small government?

What you've detected is actually a split in the three pillars of the Republican Party: Big Business, Libertarians and Social Conservatives.

The "small government, free market" talking point is one that Big Business and Libertarians can agree upon so they use is all the time. The problem is only the Libertarians really believe it. Big Business doesn't want regulations that limit it, but loves huge government handouts, bailouts and regulations that limit their competition. Social Conservatives dig big government getting all up in your body to make sure you don't use drugs or have sex and spy on you to make sure you're not a terrorist. 

Really there is a lot the three groups do NOT agree on. So please don't point this out or they might become aggravated with each other. :(
