1. You don't react when a Palestinian suicide bomber kills himself and a dozen Israeli civilians, yet you are outraged to the point of holding a demonstration when Israel retaliates and kills the terrorist leader who sent that bomber.
2. You think the constitution clearly says that abortion cannot be outlawed, gay marriage cannot be banned, and terrorists overseas calling their operatives in America to plan attacks have a constitutional right to privacy, yet there is no right to bear arms despite it being spelled out in plain English in the Second Amendment.
3. You think Bush is a tyrant but Fidel Castro is a swell guy who has been unfairly demonized by the U.S. government and the thousands of Cubans who have escaped their country.
4. You think that the Islamists are the oppressed victims of western hegemony but the religious right in America is evil incarnate.
5. You think that the right is filled with hate yet you are elated every time a noted conservative dies.
6. You think criticizing another country's culture no matter how oppressive is "Western cultural arrogance", but think America is a land of "Stupid, greedy gun nuts."
7. You think a 13 year old girl is smart enough to make a decision to get an abortion without her parents consent or knowledge, but think adult citizens are too stupid to own a gun, or have a choice in their retirement plans (privatized social security).
8. You think America and the west must cut carbon emissions drastically to save the Earth no matter what the cost but China, India and other undeveloped countries can pollute as much as they please.
9. You think "There's no such thing as an illegal immigrant."
10. You grit your teeth in anger when you hear the words "Private Sector."

It's interesting that the very first example you lead off with has to do with defending and praising Israel and condemning the Palestinians.
What does this have to do with being a conservative atheist or whatever you say you are?
Can't one be a conservative, or conservative atheist, and support a Palestinian state while simultaneously condemning the vile crimes of Zionists in Israel?
I mean, many would say your atheism and your conservatism are mutually exclusive, that is you can't be both.
"Conservative" implies defending TRADITION (look at the word: the root is CONSERVE).
So, just what tradition are you defending when you support a parasitic state that has only existed since 1948, and lives by brutally suppressing the rights of the natives who lived on that very same turf prior to 1948?
