Is The Alt-Left Creating Conservative Atheists?

As an atheist, I fight against religious corruption every day, but I’m supposed to accept Pastor Hillary and her Church of the DNC without question?

I don’t stand with ‘Her,’ and Bernie was wrong for endorsing ‘Her.’ I was wrong for voting for ‘Her.’ He should have stood his ground, called out the corruption, and refused to take part in the nonsense. As should I. Donald Trump was right about this.

The crazy thing about me is, I’m actually willing to change my mind on an issue and be realistic about the outcome. I’m also willing to tell you about it, even knowing the kind of hyperbolic backlash I’ll receive from name-calling liberal extremists.

So be it. May the Facebook gods bless you with 20 likes this time. That’s the real goal, right?

I hope Smalley does not live in Michigan, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin.

3. There are idiots in every category of belief.

Confirmation, if it was needed, at this somewhat confused and overstated post.

4. Smalley has been getting into fights with more leftist podcasters...

namely the crew over at Cognitive Dissonance, Serious Inquiries Only and The Scathing Atheist over social justice issues. In fact, I would hesitate to call Smalley a liberal at all, at best he's a moderate-rightist who is kinda OK with gay people, but only kinda OK with them. His empathy comes up short, to put it frankly.

5. If he thinks he was wrong in voting for Hillary, and thinks Trump was "right"

about "Hillary's corruption", then I wouldn't characterise him so much as a "conservative", more an "idiot arsehole". Especially if he's saying that after what we've seen Trump do in the past week. And I suspect he's been like that a long time, and can't blame people on the left for it.

6. I more or less said the same think on the discussion board over there...

I've listened to his podcasts about BLM and other protests and he seems to be either unable or unwilling to look at those who have different experiences as having equal weight to his own.
