How did I get a majority out of 46%?
Hmmm. Perhaps if you read my comment in context with the other comments in that post, you will understand. In short, it is because many of the blacks and hispanics who voted for Mr Obama voted against the gay marriage proposals and many hunters who voted for Mr Obama are very much opposed to gun control, and, well, etc. If you consider the 46% who voted against Obama and add in those who voted for him but hold conservative views on gay marriage, abortion, gun control, the military, taxes, etc., you almost certainly arrive at a figure of well over 50% (a majority) who are basically conservative.
Perhaps when liberals start identifying themselves in public as such (as we conservatives do) rather than hide behind the moderate or independent label, there will be evidence that that American people are not, basically, conservative.
