My Core Beliefs by Mike Farrell

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.

The right splits roughly into two halves (5.00 / 1) (#4)

The conservative half and the libertarian half. I say roughly because it is rough. I find it jolly entertaining the way members of the libertarian half frequently try to demonstrate they are not right wing by demonstrating they are not members of the conservative half.

I don't claim that's what you are doing as I haven't read enough to determine whether you are libertarian, but I'm going to pretend you are for my own entertainment.

so what (5.00 / 1) (#5)

closet homosexuals can have marriages and children, but that doesn't change the fact that they are simply in denial.

The only important K5 shiboleth is "Do you believe the government account of the Pentagon crash?" Only if you answer an emphatic "no" will you be pronounced sufficiently free from right wing taint to enter the halls of wisdom.
