Interesting observation, Igloo. I don't know if most of us actually are Conservative, but its my impression that most of the posters are.
I always assumed that the common thread among AH, and probably WB, and "Conservatism" has to do with our appreciation of history and the equipment of war which might be attracting people with "hawkish", conservative points of view.
I'm sure most of us are probably more educated than the average person, and in a higher income bracket as well. That could explain it.
Like Eagler fearlessly stated, its my impression also that many homosexuals and African Americans are Democrats, and I'm sure that is because of the way the Democratic party throws money and special promises at these groups while simultaneously holding them in contempt.
However, I do personally know some local gays and blacks that are staunch conservatives, which is interesting...
When you talk to these people, you find that they are truly enlightened - and very effective in communicating the conservative point of view simply because they have gone through the process of looking deeper than the average person, past the facade, into the jaundiced eye of liberalism, and found the contempt and defeatism there. The most outspoken conservatives from these groups are black businessmen and gay professionals. That tells you something.
