Your fundamental misunderstanding of what conservatism is is at the heart of this problem. To many, and obviously those at CPAC, conservatism is the conservative application of government. That is, a limited government grounded in freedom and liberty. For all. No matter their personal or biological predilections. For such bigotry to be booed down so swiftly was a sign that not only has the conservative movement truly become conservative again (rather than being the neo-con movement, of which you are so obviously a part). Why does someone's sexual preference hurt you? How? It doesn't. They aren't forcing you to take part. You could agree with these people on every matter, political, economical, and socially, but you would hate them because they are gay? That is bigotry, and those attitudes are precisely why so many Americans have become disillusioned with Republicans and neo-cons like them. People are sick of the crap, and that's why we have the Tea Party movement and why CPAC went the way it did.
