>However, that doesn't mean that conservatives "by definition" are intolerant. Conservatism is "supposed" to mean limited role of the federal government, with the prime role being the protection of rights and liberties. I consider myself very conserative, and I also believe in a color-blind society, support Roe v. Wade and personally couldn't care less if 2 adult homosexuals want to marry. One of our country's embarrassing shortcomings is this pre-occupation with sexual preference.

By your description, you sound more like a libertarian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian
