Friends,
As you know, we don't shy away from discussing politics and religion here. Regarding politics, I'm curious: who here ISN'T voting for Barack Obama? Weigh in.
As for me, I'm voting for Ferdinand & Isabella. Here's the bumper sticker I made for my car:
Real Change
Ferdinand & Isabella in 2012
Our Only Hope
Let me know if you'd like a copy.

I'm voting for Hammarubi. In this era of entitlement and wishy-washy liberal values, we need a return to the "eye for an eye"!
Jackson, more seriously, have you thought of carrying out some of these experiments in a conservative environment? I don't know, alt.banjo or alt.catholic-organ (the music site, if that is not clear) or something? It might be interesting to compare and contrast the "discussions".

Are you implying that my interlocutors there would be less intelligent?

Not necessarily, but if, stereotypically, they would be more God-fearing and, in general, more approving of authority and other conservative values, the discussion would probably take on a different character.
By the way, good job on slipping in "interlocutors". If I recall, I noticed it showed up on the entertaining, if dated, http://www.amazon.com/The-Superior-Persons-Book-Words/dp/087923556X

The thing is, there are so few genuine conservatives left. In fact, because there are so many counterfeit conservatives today (e.g., Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter), real conservatives today must call themselves traditionalists. Thus it's unlikely that I'd actually find any conservatives in such groups. Only imposters. I'm reminded of this line: "A DEMOCRAT of the 1950s would view today’s 'conservative' Republican as a liberal savage." See:

Moreover, how boring it would be to only talk with people who agree with me! Plus, in spite of my theatrics, I like the men in this group. (But notice that: men. There are only men here. Such a sexist group! I don't know how much longer I can abide it.)
As for "interlocutor," that's nothing. I recently dropped the term "Orthorexic Totalitarianism" in a book review. Scroll to the middle of the page here:

(It's an old review that I took down about a year ago and then just republished in an edited form. That's why they list the 2010 date.)
Pedantry is so much fun!

And I'll never forget the immortal words of the great Dr. Leo Paul de Alvarez when he told us: "The true conservative is a monarchist."
