I listen to a lot of atheist podcasts and have heard many times people who claim to be skeptics complaining that show content has a liberal bias. This raises some interesting questions for me chief among them is this : if you consider yourself a rational person how can you arive at conservative positions using logic and reason? I honestly cant figure out how a person could consider themselves a skeptical thinker and wind up as a conservative. Social conservatism is completely based in religious ideals. Fiscal conservatism is based on completely discredited ideas like deregulation and tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals. If anyone out there has any insights, or is an atheist conservative id love to hear what you have to say.

Let me start. No. Because changing social structures willy nillly is in no way conservative. Besides, we all know that reality has a liberal bias.

"Great clip, Tony.  People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis.  Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
