And the number of educated people with IT degrees, including advanced IT degrees, on these websites who are either Conservative Or Libertarian is as high as 75%.

They strongly support Ron Paul and his beliefs. They have a passionate hatred for Unions. They believe anyone who has a blue collar job and "just turns a wrench" is ignorant, stupid, and too lazy to go to college. Some of them do not have the least shred of mercy or compassion for anyone. Their attitude is best described as:

"As long as I have mine fuck everyone else."
