One thing I've noticed about RW males

[PinkFloyd]

28. I grew up surrounded by them in rural Kentucky.

Many of them shared the following traits:

- Bigotry. Most of the RW guys I knew didn't like blacks, Hispanics or people who were different from them. They also had an EXTREME hatred of gay people and since 9/11, ALL Muslims.

- The inability to ever admit they're wrong or say they're sorry.

- Many of them would bully someone who wasn't like them, especially if they believe the other person was weaker than them.

- An extreme love of guns. Not just for protection or as a hobby but as a means to prop up or emphasize their masculinity. This also often extended to their vehicles.

- Extreme greed, selfishness and concern that somehow someone else may benefit from something they did or helped pay for.

- Considers them self first and above all. I actually had a far RW neighbor that I grew up with who owned a small plane. One day he crashed it in his field and left his wife to burn alive with smoke coming out. She managed to get out alive but initially she couldn't and he left her there to potentially burn alive.

- Often they loved to talk about patriotism and love of the military. Although, often many of the guys I knew that did this, were never in the military themselves.

I'm sure there were more but I don't want to relive all the RWers I knew from my past. These were just the ones that stand out off the top of my head.
