On occasion here, I write about politics. Rarely, but I do. This blog is more about atheism and skepticism than anything else but events occur that, as a blogger I don’t believe I should ignore. None of us that blog should. Whether it’s generic political, or terrorism, or maybe just something we’re interested in, we should never feel that we have to write on only a single topic.
I’ve been following at least 2 different discussions on Twitter about conservatism and social values. More specifically, can someone be a conservative and be pr-choice? The back-and-forth has ben fascinating and I’ve been surprised by some notable conservatives responses.
I’ve seen many complaints in the last few weeks from conservative tweeters that to the it appears that Twitter is actively suppressing their and others viewpoints. They show screen grabs in some cases where they are not allowed to see certain tweets, and some prominent conservatives have spoken out that some of their tweets are never seen by their followers.
The second part of my interview with the Blue Ball Skeptics is up. I want to again thank Damion and Chas for the opportunity. I had a great time. You can listen here to parts one and two.
I forgot to mention that I was interviewed on the Blueball Skeptics podcast recently. Damion and Chas, BTW, are just great and we had a wonderful conversation.
They both wanted to understand how I could call myself a skeptic and atheist, while still holding true to basic conservative principles (small, non-intrusive, government).
I think you’ll enjoy part one. Part two, if I recall goes a bit deeper into topics which we were all interested.
You can listen to part one here. Part two, is forthcoming.
