No doubt these tough, non-snowflake conservatives can grow a pair and show up. Jeez, I've taken a good dogpile or ten in my day, and I'm just a weebly centrist.

But yeah, this isn't a very friendly place for conservatives. Sometimes they drift through and mostly end up quitting pretty quickly, only so many times someone can be called a cunt and a nazi and want to stick around and have a friendly conversation with the rest of the forum. I also think it would be a little more interesting with more varied political opinions on here.
When you consider the name-calling that the two you mentioned -- and Drich as well -- practice in defense of "conservative" values, it's easy to understand the knee-jerk reaction. I stamp cockroaches too, if I see 'em. And if the bug looks like a roach but isn't, sorry about your bad luck, maybe next time paint yourself brightly or something.
I do try to give every n00b the opportunity to make or break himself, but some things -- racism, sexism, authoritarianism -- yeah, I'll swing around and take a broadside. Such is life on the internet. You land shots and take hits. You'd think that tough-guy conservatives could hang in there, right?
