UC Berk - too liberal?

I visited UCB yesterday for Cal day, I had an okay time, but all the posters said rubbish like: “Bush lied, our sons lied”, which were pasted all over the walls, among other usual liberal stuff. On almost every corner of the fair there was some guy handing out “Impeach Bush” flyers, and a lot of the clubs there were liberal groups. I saw “Asian Democrats” “Muslim Democrats” “African American Democrats Club” and a bunch more, yet nothing to do with Republicans or any conservative clubs. It annoyed me that there were so many little booths dedicated to selling liberal pins and teeshirts (“I think, therefore I am a liberal”). I know that UCB was the center of hippie movement, and from what I just saw, the school must be as liberal as it ever was before. Could a guy like me, a conservative, handle such an environment, if I was accepted?

Thank you for feedback.
