		<description>To be honest, all of them are shameful in some way.

Mr. Moneybags type - Wasteful, greedy and let&#039;s face it, the &quot;spoiled daughters&quot; just ruin it for those who once lived opulent lives AND who know the value of life and the things within life.
Mr. Warhawk type - Obviously deluded about the idea of war altogether.
Mr. Bibleton type - The fact that they are hypocritical of helping those who are sick with terrible disease or are poor and are more concerned of the LGBT community &quot;infecting&quot; everyone else with their &quot;behaviors&quot;.
Mr. Contrarian type - I hate the &quot;forum flaming&quot; types within this type and of course, the type who don&#039;t believe global warming is happening.
Mr. NRA type - Of course, I support gun control, but then again, I never really like this type that much since the ones I&#039;ve met were &quot;shoot first, ask later&quot; types.
Mr. Frat type - The fact they exist ruffles my feathers. It disgusts me they think they can get away with racist and misogynist behavior.
Mr. Log Cabin type - The fact they&#039;re living a hypocritical life (supporting a group composed of people who are against the LGBT community and the fact that he is hated by those he support) sickens me. Why should anyone live a lie?
Mr. Numbnuts type - The fact they&#039;re not focused is bad enough.
Mr. Minutemen type - The fact they think its right to &quot;protect us from illegal immigrants&quot;. They aren&#039;t doing anything wrong.
Mr. Moderate type - They&#039;re in a futile battle.

In some way, they will also be one looking down on another, but let&#039;s face it: dealing with these differences will cause friction...</description>

		<description>If you combine Contrarian, Mr. NRA, and Mr. Frat into one lovely cesspool of a human being, you&#039;ve captured the essence of the Republican male population of my university.

Although, they should have added &quot;Republican in Hiding&quot;. Because I honestly don&#039;t have an explanation for the amount of idiots that style themselves as liberals and like to publish sexist and/or racist trash other than they figured that Republicans aren&#039;t cool anymore.</description>

		<description>The &quot;Mr. NRA&quot; caricature annoyed me. Some of us liberals defend the &lt;em&gt;entire&lt;/em&gt; Constitution. We don&#039;t throw out 2A because OMG GUNZ R SCARY!!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Definitely true, exholt. I find that so many of the people who accuse me of going into a “useless” field, instead of engineering, science, etc. are the types who vote Conservative.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

While my experience with people who say that largely matches your own, I&#039;ve known a fair amount of liberals and moderate/centrists who have also accused me of majoring in the &quot;useless&quot; field of History.  What&#039;s more funny is that some of the criticisms come from other arguably &quot;useless&quot; social science majors....especially poli-sci and econ majors.*  

When they also find I have a strong professional competence and interest in computer technology/IT as well....the reactions I observed tend to be ones appropriate to encountering extraterrestrials from outer space.  This was especially true among CS/IT people who find it quite puzzling someone who majored in a &quot;useless field&quot; can not only hold their own...but even outperform CS/IT majors in the workplace.  A fellow undergrad classmate of mine is not only a better example of this as an IT manager....she majored in what many considered an even more &quot;useless&quot; field than mine....English Lit.  

There is one field whose majors my CS/IT friends could agree on teasing....business majors.  From my experience as a freelance academic tutor and in the workplace....they tend to require the most academic help and seem to be in constant need of rescue by everyone else to clean up their professional f%&amp;k-ups.  Did I mention that it is a very popular major for Conservatives/Republican students who don&#039;t really have a good idea of what they really want to do &quot;when they grow up&quot;?</description>

		<description>Definitely true, exholt.  I find that so many of the people who accuse me of going into a &quot;useless&quot; field, instead of engineering, science, etc. are the types who vote Conservative.
I take it NMPPM is also the type who, after taking Intro Econ as an elective, concludes that &quot;minimum wage laws are BAAAADDD because the graph tells me so!!!&quot;  
Side note, we just had a provincial election here about a month ago, and one of the candidates in my riding could have been described as a mix of this guy and Laura&#039;s Classic Deluded Libertarian.  Ick.</description>

		<description>Frankly, I&#039;m embarrassed that this site&#039;s level of political discourse has sunk to seriously discussing the most (literally) cartoonish stereotypes as though they were a real political argument.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;They forgot Classic Deluded Libertarian, who hates all government on the principle that it interferes with free enterprise and quashes the small businessman&lt;/i&gt; - Laura

I know someone who used to be like that -- as he was about to start his small business, he figured that gummint paperwork and regulations would be the greatest threat to his business.

Now that he wants to grow his business, he realizes his biggest obsticle is that he can&#039;t hire talented people because he can&#039;t afford to pay for health-care benefits unless he has the growth in business that can only be obtained if he is able to hire said talented people (his wife can&#039;t even work full time for the family business as she has to have a job that provides health care bennies for the family).  He&#039;s now, of course, de-deluded himself and is 100% in favor of socialized medicine.</description>

		<description>Encounter the children of Mr. Moneybags regularly from undergrad to the present.  Amusing how these kids seem to think the world revolves around them and that they know more about life and the world than everyone else solely because their loaded parents are providing them with an effective handout.  

As for Lazer&#039;s  &quot;social-studies failure&quot;....I&#039;d modify that to &quot;narrow-minded pre-professional mercenary&quot;...seen too many of those among classmates in high school, workplace, and in grad school.  Most common quote from them &quot;Why should I study (insert any art/humanities/social science field/course)?!! It is of no use to my future career!!&quot;</description>
