Certainly a diary not worth reading.
I posted some stuff after being accused of being a rabid right winger and fascist. Just wanted to collect this list in one place for my own amusement and use.

I've been accused of being a fascist and rabid right winger,
Even though I didn't vote for Bush and will vote for any reasonable alternative in 2004,
Even though most of my votes have not been cast for Republicans or right wing candidates,
Even though I support same sex marriage,
Even though I think abortion should be legal, available and safe,
Even though I certainly have no problem with contraception or sex out of marriage,
Even though I think racism is one of the worlds worst evils,
Even though I think Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot,
Even though I am not convinced that invading Iraq is the right thing to do,
Even though I am sure that invading North Korea is the wrong thing to do,
Even though I don't like the Patriot act,
Even though I think that new airport security rules are for show, not safety,
Even though I think immigration is one of the things that makes the US great,
Even though I will fight any Flag burning amendment as it is a restriction on political speech,
Even though I am an agnostic and think religion should stay out of government,
Even though I think creationism isn't science, and should never be taught in public schools,
Even though I think the Pledge of Allegiance shouldn't be required in public schools,
Even though I think "I Have a Dream" was a great speech and MLK was a great man,
Even though I think Carter is by far the United States' best living ex-president,
Even though I think Kissinger doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace Prize,
Even though I think the preferred way to handle the problems of drugs is through treatment,
Even though I support legalization and regulation of almost all recreational drugs,
Even though I oppose the death penalty for many reasons, including the seeming racial inequality of it,
Even though I think Israel's settlements should be removed and the occupied areas should be treated as an independent nation,
Even though I think that the U.S. shouldn't have been involved in the Vietnam War,
And on and on and on.
