Below is a list of my political and charitable donations for 2012.

Gary Johnson for President
Planned Parenthood (twice)
Patrick Murphy for Congress
The Fogbow
Dimeadozen.org
Paul Kimmage Defense Fund

Some notes of explanation follow:

I donated to Gary Johnson because, as a libertarian (with a small l) I have little use for either of the established political parties. Both of them are essential statist. They exist to perpetuate dysfunctional government. This is a function of the compromises necessary to win countrywide elective office in the USA, allied to a surplus of low-information voters, the narcolepsy of the mass media, and the money required to run electoral campaigns, which results in many caampaigns being financed by wealthy individuals or single-issue groups. The parties currently have a comfortable duopoly, and if We The People want better government (which we certainly seem to do, given the consistently low poll ratings enjoyed by representative bodies in the modern USA) then electors must be prepared to move away from the duopoly. We get the politicians we vote for, and collectively we tend to vote for a collection of weirdos, oddballs and second-raters whose main appeal is to emotions and transient pocketbook issues. Lost in the wash are wider considerations of freedoms, governance and what sort of country the USA should be when it grows up.
Currently, every time a Republican politician or legislative body tries to defund, marginalize or discriminate against Planned Parenthood, I donate money to them. This started when the Susan G. Komen foundation tried to remove PP from their list of favored organizations. I am anti-abortion but pro-choice, and I see the animus against PP as nothing more than mean-spirited censorious asshattery, which I will punish with my checkbook.
I donated to Patrick Murphy because, of all of the GOP House of Representative members, I regarded Allen West as the most egregiously inflammatory, mean-spirited and unconstructive. His attempts at McCarthyite shit-stirring when he claimed that the Democratic Black Caucus was a Communist organization were, on one level, utterly risible and unworthy of serious attention, but on another level, the fact that he could make those accusations with a straight face and not be laughed off-set was an uncomfortable reminder that collectively many people in this country have learned nothing from the McCarthy era. His refusal to concede following his electoral defeat further cemented his general buffoonery and mean-spiritidness.
The Fogbow is a "birther" debunker and discussion site. According to Orly Taitz, it is of course funded either by the Democratic Cabal or George Soros, and the members of the FogBow (which I guess includes me, since I have an account there) are brainwashed Obots who conspire constantly to undermine The Truth About Obama for financial gain. To which I guess I have to ask: where's my check then? And can I please have my donation back, since they are clearly swimming in ca$h...
Dimeadozen.org is a music sharing site, one of the places where I find great music that for a number of reasons, has never been officially released. No, this is not a bootleg site, nor is it like the PirateBay, which deals in pirated released content. I do not deal in either of those types of content. Artists should be paid for their IP, just like you or I should be paid for our work.
Paul Kimmage is a former professional cyclist turned journalist who fell foul of the Wrath Of Lance Armstrong because, unlike most media members, he refused to go along with the established narrative that Armstrong was a valiant cancer survivor who won 7 Tours de France by his own efforts, unaided by PEDs. Kimmage, like a number of people who refused to accept that narrative, was punished by Armstrong, his team, and cycling authorities anxious to not derail the Lance Armstrong gravy train, to the extent that he eventually lost his journalism job, and was then threatened with a lawsuit by the UCI. The defense fund raised nearly $100k to help with his defense against the lawsuit, which has now been suspended following Armstrong's effective admissions that he used PEDs. Kimmage has now filed a criminal complaint against the UCI with the European Union, alleging that they covered up Armstrong's PED use, as shown by occasional positive test results.
