I always thought it was mainly about increasing the power of government. Look at all the federal "letter agencies" that have been created or expanded to fight the War on Drugs. They are quite happy to support political movements like the war on drugs or prohibition or Islamic terrorists or illegal aliens or anything else that increases their control over the people that they are supposed to be protecting.
Social causes come and go, the state just grows in size.
