I think you'll also find that conservatives are actually more tolerant and respectful of dissenting opinions than liberals. If I go to a liberal site and politely express my views, I am swarmed with ad hominem personal attacks by a legion of flame trolls, then banned for Having an Opinion While Conservative (which is a lot like Driving While Black).

You'll get a few flame trolls here too. Don't get me wrong. But the ratio of thoughtful, respectful hosts to flame trolls is a great deal higher on this site than on the left-wing hate sites, despite what the inhabitants of those sites have obviously been saying about us.

For some more long-term liberal inhabitants here, you can look up Bubbah Gump and dwbh. You're not alone. Then of course there are quite a few Libertarians, who are very liberal on social issues (but extremely conservative on fiscal issues). You'll find them sticking up for gay rights and abortion rights, but then they'll do an apparent 180 and call for the abolition of the income tax and the right of all citizens to own full-auto assault rifles.
